UFC 146

[SPX]

SDR vs Gonzaga should definitely be on the prelims. Remove that fight and bump up Barboza/Dunham.

[poopoo333]

Hunt/Struve IS pretty interesting...kind of a hard fight to call.

[poopoo333]

Yeah, SDR/Gonzaga will be over with quickly anyways, SDR is going to KO him quick

I bet Hunt KOs him, but if McCorkle submitted Hunt, Struve can definitely do it, too.

Srs? GG will submit him IMO. Supposedly, GG has decided to be a grappler again.

ya I was srs...but I guess if GG truly is gonna be a grappler again I give him a better shot. But I still think SDR will KO him

early picks with not really looking much into them regardless of odds:

MAIN CARD (pay-per-view)

• Champ Junior Dos Santos vs. Alistair Overeem (for heavyweight title)
• Frank Mir vs. Cain Velasquez
• Roy Nelson vs. Antonio Silva
• Shane Del Rosario vs. Gabriel Gonzaga
• Mark Hunt vs. Stefan Struve*

PRELIMINARY CARD

• Edson Barboza vs. Evan Dunham
• Dan Hardy vs. Duane "Bang" Ludwig
• Diego Brandao vs. Darren Elkins
• C.B. Dollaway vs. Jason "Mayhem" Miller
• Kyle Kingsbury vs. Glover Teixeira
• Paul Sass vs. Jacob Volkmann

Ludwig/Elkins/Kingsbury/Bigfoot were all guesses

I think Ludwig should be technically better standing up, but Dan Hardy is training at a "secret gym" with Lorenzo Fertitta so he might be TRT/Uber Hardy come fight time.
Elkins is a top control guy but Brandao is a little crazy fucker.
I have never seen Kingsbury's opponent fight, but anybody that trains under Barry Bonds' steroid supplier has my pick
I think Bigfoot/Nelson is close, but I'll go with Bigfoot

Big step up for SDR. GG stuck to his word and came out to grapple in his last fight.

This card is awesome...damn. I wonder if we are gonna get + odds on Dollaway?

Who are you most confident in? For me it's probably Cain, but I can see each and every fight going either way (exxcept Teixeira/Kingsbury, idk about Teixeira)

[MMA_scientist]

I like Texeira to beat Kingsbury. He is long overdue to be in the UFC... but he is a little undersized to be fighting Roidsbury. He he from a striking camp (Pit), he is a very solid BJJ competitor, winning ADCC trials in Brazil.

My lock of the card would probably be Cain too... but I am not super confident. They are all close fight IMO.

Kyle Kingsbury vs. Glover Teixeira
Paul Sass vs. Jacob Volkmann

Brandao-Elkins is a really interesting matchup. Diego is batshit psycho and is a total killer given any position, but Elkins is a tough scrapper himself. I just don't think we've seen enough of Diego against anyone who really knows what they're doing yet, at least I haven't, to bet on him.

Hunt is going to murderface Struve.

Cain should win but he's not a lock, Mir is forever dangerous even when rocked hard. He's the kind of guy where even if you hurt him you have to tiptoe around his ground game whenever possible because he has the talent and strength to rip something off if he latches onto it.

Think JDS is the biggest gift of the year

I think Cormier is the biggest gift of the year.
