wtf with all these decisions brah

Dude, I did all of these in 15 minutes at 3 in the morning while waiting for Bellator to start! What do you want from me!?:D

I think Sergio and Edson are to tough and technically proficient to get finished.

Grant, Klose, Cummings, Ige all seems like decision machines

Milstead... when in doubt, go decision.
 
Good, it'll be over with enough time for Bellator 213.
 
Since when does this shit start so early? Good for me, though.

I have my doubts about Barboza's chin nowadays, he was tagged a few times against Lee and he's taken too much damage, if Hooker fights smart i think he catches him at the first half of the fight, and Hooker has a good killer instinct, if he hurts Barboza it should be a wrap. I can't erase of my mind the image of Edson going down with a jab :confused:

Font i think it's just too big and too powerful of a puncher to Mini Pettis hang right now, but yeah you could be right and maybe Pettis plays safe and survives 15 minutes.

Milstead vs. Rodriguez i doubt goes to decision, both bring heat and have shit defenses. Under in that one seems a good bet IMO.

Honestly, Edson vs Hooker is the fight I'm most uncertain about. It's a total clash of momentums, yes. But anyone who gives Edson middle-distance to work out off has made a bad life-decision in the past, and that's Hooker's normal operation-range. Edson could just out-technique him like he did Anythony Pettis.

Also, Meerschaert submiting Hermansson? What, from guard? We have a no-wrestling vs good-wrestling match-up and Hermansson has some really savage ground and pound (and his sub defence looked really on-point vs Thales Leities). Meerschaert's option is to catch Jack with one of those nasty kicks, that's it.
 
WAR RAGING AL

No idea how to not go with Iaquinta on this. Al seems like a nice and down to earth dude who is real with no bullshit. Hope he silence that loudmouth Lee. What a dosser!

I'm really surprised at how confident people are in Hermansson on this one. Meerschaert's faced much stiffer competition, has good grappling and didn't get completely blown out of the water against Thiago Santos.
