Not necessarily matchups but some interesting asides to watch...Sam Fair back after injury, Hassan Johnson at 129 vs anybody, Crespo a MI state champ in for 1st time, and OH Jacob Edwards with a big weight jump are all intriguing. Oh, and the huge Fabio vs BoboBrazil matchup looks like it could conceivably happen this weekend as well!!

it's gonna take a bad man to win the 116,123 and 135 pound weight classes. them are 3 of the toughest I've ever seen in any tournament. not knowing the seedlings yet I guess I'll take a shot at picking top 3. wow. I can see 8 different guys that have a legitimate shot to win this one! 116. 1.Horst 2.Curtis 3. Littell I see 10 guys that i wouldn't be surprised if they win it!! 123. 1.Ford Melton 2.Garcia 3.Mills I also see 8 in this weight class also. 135. 1.Fields 2.Rachal 3.Munson This is absolutely incredible because usually when you look at a bracket even in some of the toughest tournaments around you may find 3 or maybe 4 guys with a decent shot to win it, well Im sure others may not see as many as me and some may see more but we can all agree that this tournament and these weights especially have got to be one of the toughest in the nation. very nice job by indiana mat to get this tournament to where it is today. the first few years were just like a normal tournament. Now this is THE tournament.
