Jorgenson has looked good in all his fights. I haven't seen him in trouble with subs or strikes, if he loses it's a close fights that could have gone either way. (Buenelos and damacio page(his first wec fight)). I don't think Brad is quick enough to ko him and even if he is winning on the feet jorgenson will take it to the ground, he is excellent at mixing strikes and take downs. Pickett has a lot of submissions and if he wins that's how, but I think if Jorgenson had a weakness in sub d it would have been exposed by now this is his 9th fight in the wec.

Paixo is fighting Caraway. Both look like bjj guys, I'm betting the brazilian is better.

Yeah I went and checked these guys out. Paixao has to be the better BJJ guy. He is a black belt, and Caraway isn't (that I know of).

"Paixao is one top grapplers in the world earning his black belt under the legendary Osvaldo Alves in 1998.[1]

He has won multiple world championships as a black belt. He took first place in the Mundials 2001, 2002, and 2005. In addition, he finished second in 2004 and third in 2005.

In May of 2010, Paixao defeated Caol Uno in a No-Gi Jiu-Jitsu match at the UFC Fan Expo held in Las Vegas at UFC 114.[2]"


Caraway was subbed by Hominick who is a stand up guy. He also doesn't really have any notable wins. The only thing he has going for him is that he is having sex with the girl in my avatar at a regular basis.

Paixao/Caraway... exactly my type of fight. I have a lot to say about that fight.

Paixao (insert generic bjj comment). His striking sucks pretty hard. His takedowns are not super awesome, but the usually get the job done.

Caraway (insert generic bjj comment). Caraway wrestled in college a little. He fought Wilson Reis, which probably says a lot about how this fight will play out. Reis was taking him down at will... Caraway wanted to play guard. Wilson's takedowns are a lot better than Fredson's.

Here is Paixao's takedown in action: http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x7yat4 ... enny_sport

I am not allowed to talk about bjj on the forum anymore.

I am going to look at a couple more or Caraway's fights before I make a decision.

Re: WEC 50: Cruz vs. Benavidez - Aug 18th

You know everything I know here... Paixao should have the advantage on the ground, you already know that. Watch the Reis fight. I need to look at Caraway's other fights to see his takedown defense and his usual strategy. We know Paixao's strategy is going to be get a takedown. So I need to see if Caraway can stop it or if he will play along and try to beat him at his own game, like he did with Reis.

3u on Jorgenson @-215. That line seems wrong. Picket is a nice brawler, but he is going to get put on his back by Scottie. Pickett won his last fight by multiple takedowns. He is not going to guillotine Jorgenson. Jorgenson is the play.

EDIT: nevermind. Tried to place the bet and BM doesn't have the lines yet. Hopefully the line will hold, but he will probably drop too low.
