I did think the same thing about holloway and lawrence and we see how that worked out. Badly. That said, I will be on overeem if he is a dog. If this fight even happens.

I mentioned K-1 because Edman mentioned K-1. Though it doesn't quite apply here because:
1) The rules are different.
2) The gloves are larger in K-1, and aid in defense for that reason which artificially enhances one's ability to cover up with them.
3) fighters can't do alot of what they can do in K-1 in MMA because of takedowns and clinching being allowed and whatnot.2013: +8.24u(increased unit size on 5/19)

Without looking at the fight, I like Okami at -120. I don't think he is at that much of a disadvantage standing and he can make this fight ugly and get Belcher down and work his usual game. I don't like how tentative Okami looked though at UFC 150...I guess getting (T)KO'd in pretty brutal fashion 2 fights in a row can do that to a guy though.Comment

I picked/bet Cain in their first fight and I am going to pick/bet him again here. JDS is probably my favorite HW besides Cormier at the moment but I really think Cain is going to be able to avoid getting KO'd in a minute this time and will make it a competitive fight like I predicted last year. Cain is going to make this ugly and get the decision win. Oh yeah, decision win.
Davis is an easy pick here. There is no need for an explanation here.
Chris Weidman is a better striker, wrestler, and grappler than Boetsch. Boetsch isn't going to surprise (most) people 3 times in a row (or will he?).
Lauzon/Miller is tough. Miller is taking the fight on short notice but I do not think that will matter much. I won't be surprised to see either guy win but I am picking the guy that has a more clear path to victory in the fight. Lauzon at decent dog odds may be worth a shot though, I think Miller is a pretty overrated fighter and his wrestling is even more overrated.
I like Okami for what I said in an earlier post.
Vemola might beat Leben via top control decision, but I see Leben taking advantage of a tired Vemola after 1-1.5 rounds and getting the TKO win. However, I have heard Leben still doesn't have his personal life in order so this fight may be something to stay away from.
Eddie Wineland is going to stuff Pickett and pick him apart. He might not even have to stuff Pickett because he fights fucking stupid sometimes and decides to "stand and bang" (yes I know he KO'd Jabouin).
TBA is going to beat De Fries.
Michael Johnson is going to outclass Myles Jury...really weird match up. Johnson's line will be too steep though.
Garcia/McKenzie? BOL I just picked the guy with the grappling edge. They both suck. I figure if McKenzie was able to put Yves Edwards into some trouble on the mat he might be able to do the same to Garcia. Nonetheless, this fight is going to be funny.
Don't know enough about Perez/Bloodworth.Comment

I have no idea about Cain/JDS. I bet junior in the first fight because of Cain comin off surgery. Not sure who wins, but I did bet Cain Dec.Comment
