Rockhold is good though. He has won every fighut in the first round. I definitely give him a chance against Jacare, but it is a lot of speculation. Rockhold is tough to take down, and I think his reach will give him an edge in the striking department. Rockhold is kind of a beast.

BUt he has been out with injuries for a while now, this is not a great fight for a tune up.

And he is only -335. This reminds me of the time Overeem fought Duffee and people thought Duffee had a chance. Reem opened at like -385.

[edman5555]

I am amazed they are even letting Rockhold fight him. That shows you how few guys they have in strikeforce 185.

[edman5555]

I hope thats a joke.

[SPX]

You don't?

[poopoo333]

Wow you actually think Jacare will get through Rockhold?

[MMA_scientist]

Nog went out and got all tatted up during his layoff. That probably means he will lose his comeback fight. Jacare is training with Silva too. That means that Silva is going to take it as a personal affront when Jacare fights him.

I want Jacare/Sonnen for #1 contender. I would push all in on Jacare.

Remember Big Nog on TUF? That guy gets really fat between fights.

[SPX]

Fat bastard.

[poopoo333]

Big Nog needs Weight Watchers

i just see miller giving away a decision somehow. Kind of dumb i know. If he's over +200 i would play him as a dog

[poopoo333]

I think Miller is live here, because Palhares gasses out and Miller is a grinder and pretty difficult to submit.

Yep.

[MMA_scientist]

Miller is a bjj based fighter too though, so it is possible that their bjj skills will both not work, cancelling out the negative energy of bjj in general, and possibly creating a positive submission life force. Palhares by career halting heel hook. I think Miller is live here, because Palhares gasses out and Miller is a grinder and pretty difficult to submit.

[SPX]

He did. That's how he beat Triple H.

And yes, epic thread. We'll have to do that again.
