Don’t celebrate too soon…

At Floyd Mayweather and Lil Jon’s tryouts, Derek James knew he wasn’t going to lose even though the odds were stacked against him. Being just 18 years old with only two MMA matches to speak for isn’t much to brag about, but that didn’t stop James from showboating around the ring. After making his opponent, Randy Goss, tap out, James strutted around the ring and even put on a crown. James is now 3 for 3, but the competition isn’t over. Don’t celebrate too early…does Derek James need to calm down just a bit? Maybe, but he did back up all of his talk. Or maybe his next opponent in the Iron Ring will humble him a bit?

Ludacris continued with his team selection. In addition to lightweight fighter Joe Camacho, Luda added middleweight Franz Mendez and lightweight Marcus Brimadge. These were also the last two fighters who tried out for Team Luda, which still has no heavy weights on the team. Were these fair selections? Luda said it was hard to pick fighters from a 60 second match, but none of the fighters prior to the last two, with the exception of Camacho, were worthy? What do you think? Sound off.
