[Jason Ozuma]

Well this will probably be the best match of the year
so far not alot of matches in 2009 have been this much of a highlight...

Holly Holm vs Duda will be interesting but i doubt the level of a memorable fight...probably will be good but...how good would be the question that would constantly be the question

[Dee Williams]

The vegas report says only that Layla McCarter is "seeking" the fight. Let's hope Ann-marie Saccurato accepts because, yes, it would be a good one. But what's actually reported isn't saying the fight WILL happen, just that Layla wants it to happen.

Dee, when I attended the card at theJoint in Vegas I talked with Layla at the weigh-in and she said she was fighting on the 30th of this month but did not know who she was fighting. This being the 29th I guess they could not find an opponent. I really enjoyed spending time with Melissa and Brown Sugar and the Joint is amazing for fight cards where every seat is good for viewing. Its like the old "Blue Horizon" with wrap around balcony levels.

Team Saccurato seems to be willing to accept the bout on McCarter's Las Vegas home turf and at 3 minutes per round.
