Barnett would be an interesting opponent but he's not in the ufc...and there's no such hw in the ufc anyway. Still , I'm sure this fight is going to be great.
I pick Velazquez to steamroll Junior for five rounds - possibly stopping him late. This is going to be a great fight.
Well, whenever Brock gets destroyed by Overeem... Dos Santos vs Reem is the fight your gonna see. I'm gonna pick Reem, but I will say Dos Santos has plenty ability to knock him out.
This is a real pick-'em fight. Wouldn't be surprised to see either of these guys with his hand raised. Wouldn't be surprised if Cain controls Junior fairly easily with superior wrestling, wouldn't be surprised if Junior bombs him out in the first, wouldn't be surprised if Cain gets the better of a tough fight until Junior lands the right shot and puts him out. Just a great matchup between two top guys at the height of their powers. Rather than attempt to predict who's going to win or how, this is one of these fights that I'm just going to sit back, enjoy, and see what happens. :hat
Mandy Moore's prediction is in, thank god, I was getting worried: [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Dt4ACoRypo[/ame]
I think Velasquez is the much more well-rounded and overall impressive fighter, but stylistically this is a pick'em.
I like Dos Santos to stop a downed Velasquez by strikes near the end of the second round. Cain has been out of action for awhile and I look for Junior to be crisper and sharper. Cain has the mental fortitude to come back from a defeat though and will do just that in the future.
