Entertaining as hell but damn, it's a tough division for such an open fighter. I hope he hasn't lost a step and has gotten over his substance problems.

Good luck! The Flames are gonna fun fun fun this year.

Just have a K of Columbian Hi-grade on hand for him and he'll smoke everyone.

This is cool and all, but...

Does anyone seriously think he will stay healthy?!?

I hope he does, but c'mon... every year he has those same shoulder problems. I don't think they will just go away.

We'll see I guess...
When healthy he's a good fighter, but he's never healthy anymore.

Nice, good to hear McGrattan is back. Hopefully he's ready to go. What's Calgary's opening schedule like? He needs to get warmed up with somebody outside of the top 10. Looking forward to a tough NW division, and a strong year from my favourite fighter.
