    Add one more to the list.

    I've been a fan since 2002, I was sitting up late at night flipping through the channels, landed on the Food Network, and there was this gangly awkward looking guy sitting in the sand dunes of Morocco and I could tell automatically that this was no run of the mill Chef doing some by the numbers run of the mill food/travel show. I credit Tony Bourdain for making me as worldly in my outlook as I am today. Because of this book, that I went out and bought a few weeks later. His show across three channels encapsulated everything that is and at times isn't beautiful in this world to near perfection. He truly impacted my life for the better and actually opened up my eyes and made me grow as a human being, as crazy as that seems. I'll miss him and his show greatly.

    RIP Tony.

    My mom loved this guy. I had mixed feelings about the guy but his passing has definitely hit me to an extent. He was a constant presence in my household. Love or hate him his shows were extremely interesting and as you said not by the numbers like a lot of the cooking stuff on TV. I also respect anyone who takes up a martial art and goes somewhere with it - especially later in life. He actually did well competitively in BJJ. Anyways. RIP.

    It bummed me out to an extent after he went to Travel channel, you could tell they were enncouraging him to be more snarky and infuse more humor into his show, which didn't resonate and seemed forced and contrived, but in time, that show corrected itself to a certain extent, and when he moved over to CNN he got back on track, even though I disagree with some of the agendas he pushed (some CNN pushed through him) and his POV at times, that was easy to overlook, because the positives of his show, far outweighed its negatives.

    I've seen bits and pieces of Gorman before, but I finally sat down and watched a couple of his matches, the guy's a ****ing bum, and seems like a nasty piece of ****, rabbit punching the hell out of Soltby, he's dull, hard to look at, repulsive, and even though I'm picking him, damn I want Big Sexy to **** his fat ass up.

    I am also not impressed by Gorman. Yes, he has a nice technique for a big guy and he is moving well but the guy has nothing special in his game to impress me and being a -1900 favorite vs a solid and tough guy like Big Sexy. Deal with Big Sexys pressure for 10 rounds, good luck. Big Sexy impressed me recently in his last two fights vs Gjergjaj and Hrgovic. Gjergjaj is no bum and Big Sexy absolutely destroyed him for 8 rounds including a nice stoppage and one additional knock down early and his loss vs Hrgovic was solid enough to think he will beat Gorman who isn even the half of Hrgovic.

    Although the fights will be clear majority picks there are a couple that might be closer than they appear on paper.

    Does Gorman have enough to tough out Turner ?
    Can Trout do 12 with enough in the tank against some Charlo pressure ?
    Thinking Mares is going to bring hell for Santa Cruz this time round but can’t help thinking Santa Cruz will be better prepared for what’s coming this time.
    Can hooker upset the Apple cart away from home or will Flanagan keep his run going? Surely a closer fight than the bookies are saying?

    I'm totally split on Gorman-Turner and agree with everything @f1ght3rz said, and have been leaning that way myself.

    I agree with your Mares-Santa Cruz assessment, Charlo doesn't bring too much pressure, so I think Trout can survive, but even then, he won't win on the cards regardless, Austin needs a KO to win.

    Hooker-Flanagan I see as a genuine 50/50.
