I'll be on chael. Only time stann wins is when he fights guys who r sick

[poopoo333]

I think Edgar will come back even better, and make the adjustments to not get caught like he did against Maynard in their last fight. I really think Edgar is going to win this one, he really impresses me.

Aldo/Florian is actually a little tough to call for me. Aldo will probably win, but his conditioning is a question mark imo.

Chael Sonnen will Sonnen Stann.

Dave Herman's defense looked like shit against J.O.E., will be smaller, and has some pretty shitty cardio. I think Russow would be a good dog play.

I'm in the minority and think Lauzon has a shot. I just hate how he gasses after round 1. I'm not sure if Lauzon will be able to get Guillard down though, or hold him there if he does. Lauzon's best shot is probably grabbing a choke in a scramble.

I think Demian Maia is gonna dominate Santiago on the mat. Santiago was taken down a lot and held down a lot by Misaki.

Pettis/Stephens is tough to call but Pettis has the slight edge imo

I think Stipe Miocic will beat Joey Beltran..but we all know the IWS/Joey Beltran curse.

Nam Phan should beat Matt Grice.

I'm unsure on Zhang/Elkins, Simpson/Catone, and Cantwell/Massenzio. It will be Cantwell's 1st cut to MW though, and he looked like total shit against Diabate.

Yes, and Chael only loses to Brazillians.

Sonnen via awesomeness

I'll take Sonnen. I am not sure about Dave Herman though I guess I should not underestimate Mike Russow. I can't agree with you about Edgar though, Maynard beat him once and IMO kicked his ass the second time. Edgar barely squeezed by. I wouldn't be shocked at all to see him win but I don't see why he has the advantage.

It seems that the theory goes something like this:

1) The first fight doesn't count because it was so long ago -- superseded by the second.
2) Maynard got lucky by clipping Edgar in round 1; the later rounds represent the fight as it most likely would have gone.

I don't really agree though. I'm prepared to bed Maynard if I can get him at any significant +odds. I do believe that Maynard gassed out a bit from trying to finish early.

[poopoo333]

Yeah, I took the first fight into account when I bet the 2nd fight (I bet Maynard). I thought something very similar would happen.

[MMA_scientist]

I think it is close enough that either guy could take it. As such, the value is with Maynard IMO. I like what Frankie is doing with his training more, but Maynard is bigger.

[edman5555]

Yeah Couture said Gray told him he gassed after round 1. Chasing frankie around like that and swining made him tired. Frankie was still fresh afterwards though because he has an endless tank. If Gray paces himself he can win this..this is a toss up. It should also go the distance.

[Svino]

Um, shit. I mean I'm prepared to bet Maynard.

And yeah, in the second match, I was on Maynard to win by decision with a hedge on Edgar by decision. Lost it all, naturally. Did the same dumb thing again later with Fitch/Penn.

^^BOL that sucks some major dick

[poopoo333]

Anybody think Elkins will win?

[poopoo333]

So Guillard is @ Imperial Athletics now instead of Jacksons?

[Vandelay]

Herman was yanked from this card. And to take his spot on the main card.........not maia vs santiago, not stephens vs pettis, but phan vs garcia.

[MMA_scientist]

Dana is such a fag.
