Hope you're right about Caliendo! Would love to see him be the aggressor against Mes. If he's confident and finds a way against Mes he'll be in the discussion with other two but he's gotta let it fly just like we know Mes will.

And I'll add $200 to HWC if Ayala and Woods seal the deal and Franek and Kennedy finish in the top 3...

Probably the most unbiased and honest submission I've seen. I think all of your projected winners have a realistic chance of sealing the deal, though will be super surprised if Hamiti wins at 65. Good luck, sir.
