    I like him against Carwin and Kongo, possibily Cain and CroCop if CroCop shows up like he has in his UFC fights.

    I'd like to see more of Dos Santos' bjj but I'll give him the benefi of the doubt for now.

    Short version of Macias fight.

    Obviously size helped, but look at this monster.

    He lives an hour away from me, but I really like my gym which is closer. I should go to some of his weekend seminars though, I need the work on wrestling.

    Most likely, he loses to all of them - unless he actually developed some skills in the last ten years that I'm completely unaware of.

    I'd make Severn even too or favorite over all listed minus Nog and Crocop.

    Coleman showed to be a higher level wrestler when he faced Severn, so anyone that has defeated a prime Coleman should be favored over Severn.
