UFC 143

I have to think Koscheck will win that. But I do think it will be competitive.

[Vandelay]

I don't think koscheck's striking is very good at all. Koscheck was getting worked by hughes for most of the first rd. Pierce's chin is solid and he wont be outstruck by someone with one punch. Pierce did look off against bradley not sure why.

[MMA_scientist]

Bradly is a pretty good wrestler in his own right, he has a better pedigree than Pierce anyway. I agree that Koscheck's striking is somewhat overrated, but I don't know that Pierce is the guy to take advantage of it. I assume he will be an underdog though, so he will probably be worth a play.

Fabricio Werdum Faces Roy Nelson in UFC Return

....

[MMA_scientist]

Damn, that is a tough fight for Werdum. I want Werdum/Mir.

[edman5555]

I favor fabricio

[MMA_scientist]

Yeah, me too, but I don't know if he can get Roy down. I think Fabricio could probably outstrike him, but he has no confidence in his striking for some reason. If he resorts to butt flopping again, Roy just might oblige him. Werdum is probably the only guy at HW that could sub Roy off his back, but I wouldn't count on that. It is just another tough style matchup.

[Luke]

Good matchup. Like Werdum at first glance.

[edman5555]

well werdum has confidence in his standup, he just knows he cant outstrike overeem.

[Mr. IWS]

I cant fuckin believe that line for Diaz. Just put 100k on it.

[SPX]

BOL

[poopoo333]

what is the consensus on diaz/condit? I think diaz -130 is a gift

[SPX]

I lean Diaz, but Condit has surprised me plenty of times in the past and has looked quite solid in his last few fights.

Why is Diaz such a gift?

[edman5555]

That fight is tough to call.
