okay, I think sudo is definately going to beat royler.
he has much better stand up, great ground skills so I don't think royler will catch him in a sub, and his unorthodox style might throw royler off.
sudo will dance his way to victory in this one.
also, I am very disappointed I won't be able to see this fight(among a few of the others too...bang/bj)
Sudo takes it by decision.
Darko has taken the correct by decision.
when is this?
I dunno but we have to give Royler props for taking it with the bigger Sudo.
We all know Royler can catch most anyone close to his weight in a sub but he hasnt exactly been a sub machine in MMA against top guys.
Still, as much as fan i am of Sudo's, BJ is right, Sudo needs to step up in competition (esp. if its true about him saying he'd beat BJ and Uno in one night).
I agree, sudo needs to step up with comp...BUT I am sure he will.
and I guess he kind of is, with royler
and sudo isn't really that much bigger than royler
ams: it's this weekend
"This is damn good, considering I've already faced Sakuraba, who was heavier than 90kg. Facing heavyweight fighters is something really hard to do..."
- but then again its tough to respect someone who lies and as much as I respect Royler for taking that fight, no one put a gun to his head to force him to take it.
I hope Sudo clowns him like Saku did and I hope Royler wont claim Sudo was heavier than 75kg or whatever after the fact.
Sudo by KO or dec. BOY o boy would I like to see it go to the ground though!
how will royler win though?
I mean, I can't see royler winning unless sudo takes it to the ground and royler schools him(which I don't really think will happen)
Sudo usually clowns while standing.
Unless Royler takes a page from Sudo's and catches him standing in a flying armbar or triangle, I dont think Sudo will really be clowning with Royler on the ground.
I guess Royler can always just pull guard though ala Nino and the Koala technique.
It would be nice to see some ground fighting. Will Sudo be able to GNP Royler?
Or it would be nice to see Sudo do his thing standing and catching Royler with something or will Royler catch Sudo?
If Sudo keeps it standing and works a solid defense on the ground he'll win a decision. If he actively tries to grapple, Royler will take him.
Genki has got the edge in stand-up of course. The only way a fighter can seem to throw off Genki is if they have sharp striking skills, which Royler doesn't. However, I don't see Genki KOing Royler either but he can soften Royler with his strikes. The only way I see Genki in trouble is if Royler gets mount. Other than that Genki will be alright because like he says, he's like a liquid. Genki will win either by submission (breaking something or choking him out) or by decision. Gotta remember this is MMA not a grappling match.
I don`t really care for Royler but I don`t think Sudo can beat him.
rodrigo and vitor didn't tape sudo, what makes you think royler will?
Pure athletism plays a much bigger role in mma than in SW so I think Sudo'll take it by being the better athlete, I also think unorthodox styles can mess things up for Royler but I'm pulling for Royler!
What are their height and weight?
if they do grapple, it will be very interesting...I want sudo to win but I don't underestimate royler.
it will be an interesting match because sudo makes all his matches interesting...but if he subs royler that will take the cake.
a spinning backfist would be nice too lol
"he only wants to show off and dance around against someone he feels he will beat."
Masato?
ttt
Sudo will clown -Royler will do the "Butt Scoot Boogie", and the fight will be delared a draw.
