To Be Decided


Go Rousimar!

 interesting fight.



 I got Nate by decision.  Although it will be tense if it goes to the ground. 

 I got Nate, but I was sad to see him as the favourite on odds I was looking forward to betting on this one because of all the Rousimar hype lately.

 Hope Rousimar submitts Nate

You got it wrong.


no, he doesn't. nate all the way!

 I think it's 50-50 but longer odds for Palhares so he's the better bet.

I'm totally split on this one.
Either Nate will decision it or Palhares will finish.

I'm not a fence sitter so I'm going with Palhares by sub.

I want Nate to win by sub, wouldn't that excite everyone! Phone Post

 What do you think will happen?  Sub, tko, ko, decision?

 paul harris has a very good chance to win this!



he has a solid chin and can eat a few of nates best on his way in. and when he gets to the ground nate will be tapping quickly

the guy's nickname means Tree Trunk. nate is gonna get worked

I think Marquardt will win this fight standing. Yes Palhares is SCARY on the ground, but Marquardt is VERY good himself and should be able to use that to his advantage to keep it standing where he has an advantage.

If Nate decides he wants to test his grappling ability against Palhares he will likely get submitted. If he wants to play to his strengths he'll keep Palhares at a distance and stay out of the clinch and light him up on the feet.


Remember Henderson? Light him up Nate. But I hope Nate is taking him very easily..he seems so relaxed I don't know whether to feel confident or worried.

I just wanna see it Phone Post
