Todd Duffee ? the huge guy who koed whateverhisname in 5 or 7 seconds ? This should be interesting...
We'll get to see what Duffee is made of. I wouldn't count him out yet he is a strong guy and is a wrestler so taking buentello down sure would be an option if the stand up doesn't go well.
Duffee is going to sink or swim. Beating Buentello would be a big notch in his belt at this stage in career. But if he gets knocked out harder than Michael Bisping, well, then it certainly sends his career back a few steps. I can't see this one with a pretty ending.
