[PICK EM CREW]

OK Gentlemen - just a reminder we're going for the double double this week, so don't forget to post your picks in both threads.

Two solid match ups here despite what some may think of as something of a mismatch in Culcay vs Derevyanchenko. Culcay ain't any kind of elite, but he's not long off giving Andrade a tough night and neither did Sulecki have it all his way. With Derevyanchenko absent from the ring since his loss to Jacobs there's reason to find this one interesting.

Quillin vs Truax is a crossroads for both guys - or maybe just a chance at one last shot at the top for both. At 35 years old the loser ain't gonna get many more chances, but we just might see the winner as an opponent for Plant, Benavidez or Dirrell before too long. Either way, a solid fight between two ex-champs (I know, I know - you can call em paper dudes if you like) and for my money a much tighter match up than the bookies would have you believe.
