If Roy wins its by decision imo...his right hand is overrated

Cheick Kongo vs. Matt Mitrione targeted for UFC 137 in Las Vegas

[SPX]

Should be an interesting fight. I'd probably have to lean Kongo, though.

[edman5555]

yeah def kongo.

[Luke]

I'll be looking to get a good line on Meathead

[SPX]

What's your reasoning?

[Luke]

What's your reasoning?

Cause I can see Kongo getting KTFO .

why do you favor Kongo?

[SPX]

Kongo SHOULD have better striking and I could see Kongo taking him down, too.

Mitrione's best win is Beltran. That's not a really a slight, because Beltran has proven to be tough as fuck and someone who will fight as hard as he can until he dies, but it shows how inexperienced Mitrione is. I will concede that he has looked pretty good so far, though.

[poopoo333]

Kongo has been rocked bad in the last 3 of his 4 fights. I can see Mitrione getting through and stopping Kongo. But I can also see Kongo doing the whole beating Mitrione up against the fence/taking him down thing as well (basically what we all said about the Barry fight but we know what happened there). Mitrione is a big athletic guy though, so I can see him negating Kongo in that area. But if Joey Beltran was able to take Mitrione down/control him for an entire round, Kongo can. I don't really like this fight for betting unless one guy is a really big dog

Taking Matt down? Nigga couldnt get Pat Barry down ...........who has Kongo really beat?

[Luke]

all depends on the line for me

Taking Matt down? Nigga couldnt get Pat Barry down ...........who has Kongo really beat?

Well he didn't even try to take him down..

[SPX]

Taking Matt down? Nigga couldnt get Pat Barry down ...........who has Kongo really beat?

First off, didn't Kimbo take Matt down? And didn't Kongo take Cain down?

Second, the only guy who went for any takedowns in that fight was Barry, who was stuffed.

Cheick doesn't have a lot of great wins--Cro Cop, Buentello and Barry are his most notable--but he's a fuckload more experienced and for the most part has only lost to very good fighters.

Are you about to tell me I've been trolled again. . .?

[SPX]

Kongo has been rocked bad in the last 3 of his 4 fights.

Do what?

Browne hit him a couple of times but Kong was never "rocked bad" in that fight. And Buentello didn't do shit. So I don't know what you're referring to.

Do you mean very good guys like Herring, Marreo, and Yvel.............I understand
