    Roy is dangerous but I like JDS by KO.

    Roy should get brutalised. JDS is too big, too strong, too powerful. Roy has some okay boxing but I think JDS is gonna put some straights to that big belly and obviously look for the ko upstairs. Roy should take this to the ground asap. Would be good to see JDS get some ground work in or at least show us Chuck like takedown defence.

    I pretty much agree. Although I think if Roy can get it to the ground he is a very dangerous grappler.
     
  6. This fight is a joke to any MMA fans. Why are these UFC fighters fighting cans? they should step up and fight Fedor and Overeem in Strikeforce.

    :yep

    But in all seriousness, I think this fight could be quite competitive. Roy has a good head on his shoulders when it comes to game plans and he'll be looking to take Dos Santos down and stop him there with a submission or strikes. Dos Santos resisted the lone takedown of Gonzaga well enough, but we haven't seen his takedown defence rigorously tested.

    That being said I'd still opt for Dos Santos by KO/TKO in the first or second round.

    Watch him fight, don't just look at his stomach.

    This is a tough fight for Nelson. I was expecting White to put him in the deep end right away.
