I don't know much about MMA, I'm a casual/semi fan, but I have seen both Kongo and Velasquez fight and I think this fight will be spectacular. I think Kongo will cause a slight upset and knock Velasquez out. Thoughts? :bbb
Well Kongo should be favourite going into the fight. He's a proven HW contender. Velasquez in a young strong prospect, but relatively untested. But i'm not happy for Kongo for this one. He'd done well to get back in contention after the Herring defeat. And think he was next in line for Lesnar or Mir. Now he's facing a big strong wrestler with good striking power. Hell of a gamble if your next in line?! But i guess he told Dana 'I'm taking this fight at short notice as a favor for you and if i win, you give me a title shot" and Dana probably said sure. I want Kongo to win, but gonna go Cain KO/TKO 2nd rd.
I just feel Cain's wrestling will be too much for Kongo. Velasquez isnt the future champ, but if Kongo beat him, he deserve a title shot
I see Lesnar bulldozing Mir this time, and the one guy at the moment at i see may have a good shot at beating Brock is Carwin. The guy is a KO monster!
I don't like either guy, but Kongo's **** on the ground and Velasquez will put him there and keep him there. Dip**** brown pride UD.
Cain is going to take him down at will and put a beatdown on Kongo with some GNP. Hopefully he forces a stoppage not sure though I see a decision.
Kongo all day his power is too overwhelmin and he is a savy veteran experience will prove to be the difference in this match up
I really feel that Cain is the future. He's a gym monster by all accounts, and has been the big dog at AKA for a good while. He is a beast. His last opponent was a tough guy. He won but it wasn’t a devastating performance. I think that he beats Kongo up though and looks good doing so. Dave Meltzer wrote a good piece on him today, which can be read at the link below. http://sports.yahoo.com/mma/news?slug=dm-velasquez061209&prov=yhoo&type=lgns
If velazquez can take kongo down then i can see him winning cuz kongo ground game suck. If they stay on their feet then kongo wins.
