Round 1


120lbs: Pat Glory vs Gabe Tagg
Super 32 champ vs Ironman champ first thing in the morning. This match is going to incredible. Glory is the top ranked guy at 120 and Tagg is coming into the tournament with a chip on his shoulder after not placing last year.

126lbs: Gio Disabato vs Jet Taylor
Ohio state finalist, Disabato, and Oklahoma State commit Taylor are going to let it fly. I'm going off the fact that Taylor is a goer and that Disabato has a full on challenge accepted attitude. 

145lbs: Brik Filippo vs Alex Lloyd
Lloyd is a former champ and he's got a tall task in front of him with Filippo here in the first round. Despite coming up short in past years here in Fargo, Filippo is still a tough draw.

Round 2


195lbs: Bear Hughes vs Matt Waddell
These guys are very similar. I believe Waddell has the edge in this bout, but Hughes will certainly put up a fight and give him fits.

Round 3


120lbs: Antonio Mininno vs Rhett Golowenski
Mininno is on a mission and really wants that stop sign. Golowenski has a good motor that will be a good test for Mininno who doesn't have much freestyle experience.

285lbs: Anthony Cassioppi vs Aaron Costello
Both these guys have committed to Iowa, so it's just going to be a good time watching a pair of guys who will probably be training partners for years to come.
