It's conceivable that he could win a decision. I doubt it will happen but KJ Noons almost did it. Heh this one is tough. This whole card is tough.

Poopoo are they going to give us any more props on this? They give props for the bigger SF cards... I think they will.
So far I like "not Kawajiri ITD" @ -697... need a couple more plays though, like "Not Aoki by KO" or something for a mini- magic parlay2012: +19.33

Interesting comments from Daley:
Still, he's not expecting it to be easy by any means. In fact, while most fighters as a matter of routine suggest that every camp is the best of their career, Daley bluntly admits that his prep time for this fight was not ideal. He only had six weeks from his last fight -- a first-round KO of Yuya Shirai in Manchester, England -- until Saturday. For a fight of this magnitude, he would have preferred an 8-12 week camp, but the timeline for a title fight was moved up when Strikeforce postponed the second round of the Heavyweight World Grand Prix. That made it difficult to taper his conditioning and have himself in optimal shape. It is not, however, something Daley is totally unfamiliar with; this is his 7th fight in the last 15 months.
He also has suspicions that maybe, just maybe, Strikeforce isn't so concerned about what's in his best interest.
"I think the Strikeforce people are very smart in how they offer these fights," he said. "I don't think they want to give me time to prepare for Nick Diaz. I have the name but they want to try to limit my chances as much as possible, flying me out of the country late, sort of backing me into a corner to take the fight. First they wanted me to take in January, and I said no coming straight off the Scott Smith fight. I think they don't want me to get my stride and prepare for Diaz, is what I feel. But I'm taking the fight, and I'm confident."Comment

Ftr, since Zak refuses to honor my request to change my name forever in the tracker, I have given up and resigned myself to this moniker for life.2012: +19.33
