Is it just me or does Cain's face look like it is made of wax?

Looks like some new blood coming in for this event. Anyone familiar with these guys. In paticular, anyone familiar with Paul Sass.

Very interested in the Diabate-Gustafsson line.

The Akiyama that fought Belcher and Leben would beat Bisping 60% of the time I think. Now that he is with Jackson, who knows. I see a ton of value in Akiyama.Bisping wont put him away, and Akiyama could knock Bisping out as I believe he has a weak chin. Then he has the ground advantage as well. Akiyama by KO.

Bisping has been relying on his wrestling and top game a lot more recently. I wouldn't be shocked to see him trying to GNp his way to a win.

Yeah I'd stay away from Akiyama until he proves he's not going to gas in the 2nd round.

I can see this too. Akiyama did not seem to have too much trouble with a quick striker that moves around a lot (Belcher), and before I did any video watching I thought Bisping would just pepper Akiyama with shots for a decision win while Akiyama just tried to throw big bombs. Akiyama throws that big right hook a lot, and he usually connects. This is MMA math at it's finest, but I believe Akiyama > Miller in the stand up- Bisping was out striking Miller in all 3 rounds of there fight, but Miller landed a few telegraphed right hooks that left Bisping still standing...Akiyama's right hooks will drop Bisping (This is pretty irrelevant, but I noticed this while watching Miller/Bisping). Miller was able to take down Bisping and land in his guard, but Bisping got up immediately. I think if Akiyama takes Bisping down, it won't be by a double leg, it will be by a trip/throw, where Akiyama won't end up in guard. Bisping won't have an easy time getting up from underneath Akiyama while in half guard or side control.. see Kang vs Bisping. Bisping was able to avoid damage, but he couldn't get up from underneath Kang for awhile (if he did at all in round 1). Also, Bisping seems to fold under pressure. Henderson was stalking Bisping down, Bisping ended up getting KOd and not looking too great beforehand. When Wandy finally started to rush in, Bisping just froze and go dropped. Sorry the the drawn out paragraph that may not mean much.

By the way, everything I just said can go out the window if Akiyama gasses again.

I went ahead and put a little something on Sexy. I think this is a hard fight to call and, like you say PP, really depends on a lot of factors. But at the current line, I think the play is Akiyama or nothing.
