 I think you are going to go about 50-50.

Say hi to Dana and Joe!

Is Philppou good? Phone Post

So you picked all the favourites... and Shogun

and Dan Miller, nvm

And Philippou...

And Assuncao...

I agree except i think Catone beats Phillipou even though thats going to be one of the best fights of the night i think

I have the same exact picks as you except that I think Pyle will beat Almeida and I think THAT will be the FOTN.

MikelMorbid - I agree except i think Catone beats Phillipou even though thats going to be one of the best fights of the night i think


This was a tough one for me to pick, but the long layoff for Catone and the catch weigh go against him. both guys are solid for sure.

Phillipoue UD
Assuncao SD
Benevidez 1st rd tko
Tibau SD
Almeida UD
Barboza 2nd rd TKO
Cane UD
Schaub 3rd TKO
Marquardt UD
J.Miller 3rd rd sub
Faber 1st rd sub
Shogun 4 rd TKO

 Dead on xcept im takin Schaub for the win

I'm interested to hear thoughts on how Miller could possibly beat Marquardt. That's one of those fights that I can only see going one way. Even if Nate turns in as lacklustre a performance as against Okami, I still think he wins.

Nate loses steam as a fight goes on, Dan doesnt. Dan has sick submissions. Nate will wilt under the pressure and get his neck stretched.

ecnedivorp - I think Kamal is going to beat Jim in the upset of the night, bad match-up for him imo.


How exactly?

thought this was going to be the restaurant picks for dinner with rogan and dfw

Kamal might have a slight advantage in the wrestling but that is it, and it will most likely be nullified by Miller's wrestling ability.

Kamal has horrible striking (wild windmill punches and some decent leg kicks) and his cardio fades significantly after the first round.

This is a great matchup for miller has his submission ability, striking, and cardio are vastily superior than Kamal's.

Kamal is also a dirty ball kicker. But even kicking jimmy in his jimmy wont be enough to keep him from getting subbed out.

Miller will outgrit Shalorus, imo. Phone Post
