Okay ESB, who ya got? Predictions and event discussion here! Machida vs. Shogun - Machida Koscheck vs. Daley - Koscheck Stout vs. Stephens - Stephens Kimbo vs. Mitrione - Mitrione Cote vs. Belcher - Cote SO pumped for this card! Main Event is gonna be crazy!
Yup, I'm shellin out some monies to get this one as well. Buncha training partners over, split the cost, BYOB and some chips and stuff, and you have a good Saturday night!
Main event is a real 50-50. I really don't wanna predict it and will just enjoy it. I want Shogun to win though as I enjoy his style more. Koscheck-Daley, for me, is dependent on Koscheck. If he decides to take Daley down he should be able to grind out an easy decision or sub him. However if he decides to stand, and I think theres a good chance he will, Daley's chances improve dramatically. As a Brit and a fan of Daley I'm hoping he knocks Koscheck out! Also good to see Cote back!

This is a good card on paper. I hope the fights play out well tonight. I like Machida for the repeat. He and Shogun are so evenly matched it's hard to pick between the two - but I just think Lyoto will be too dynamic for Shogun. I like Daley over Koscheck - although I wouldn't be surprised to see Kos grapple**** Daley to a UD. I like Stout to be more active for a UD. I like Belcher over Cote by UD although Cote could spark Belcher. And Mitrione should beat the wheels off Kimbo who he outweighs by a good forty pounds or so. I see Kimbo being used to rebuild James Toney after Couture dismantles him.
LOL! Luckily they're the beer drinkers. Worst thing I drink is Mountain Dew. Which can play hell with your stomach when doing boxing/thai drills. Eh, I'll suck it up. (Oh, and I got chicken!)
Mitrione has a great chin and a good punch plus some ground skills. He shoud win. Koschek will win if he takes Daley down but he's a bit arrogant and if he chooses to trade he will get K'oed. Stout is improving his ground game every single fight and is a beast at striking both hands and leg strikes; he should win. Machida is an awesome talent like GSP and ANDERSON. He should adjust and find a way to win. Cote, if healthy has serious K.O. power and should get the K.O. I hope Daley wins because he has a punchers chance against GSP and that fight will be exciting to anticipate. Great card tonight and I have paid for it.
