I disagree on Akiyama Vs Leben. Leben SUB
and Pellegrino VS Sotiropoulos. Pellegrino KO (bias, we have the same 1st name)

I've got the same except I'll take Bonnar. I've always liked the guy, even though he looked like a summer school teacher on TUF.

I also think Lesnar beats Carwin down like a bitch but I have a slight vision that Carwin could get lucky and KO Lesnar with a haymaker. Anyone else see this possability?

Way to commit to your pick there Gooch...

heh I just think its Carwins only chance at winning. If Lesnar has a weakness, i would think eating a huge right or left would be it? I would give it a 8% chance of it actually happening. lol

 

[ELYEAH82]

He took a huge knee to the face in his 2nd Mir fight. So my guess would be cardio would be the way to beat him but that would be Carwins issue as well. And I dont think there is a fighter out there that wants to take the 3 rounds of punishment to see if Cardio is the way to beat him

 

[Gooch1034]

I figure since he was such a great wrestler in college, he probably still has a decent cardio. I doubt Carwin could last more than 2 rounds without sucking wind. I hope its a good fight.

 

[Infinite_Perception]

I am picking Lesnar to win the title. That's all I got for now, lol.

 

[ELYEAH82]

3 for 5, not great. Biggest surprise for me being Leben winning after fighting 2 fucking weeks ago, mad props for this guy!

 

[Smoke]

No doubt.

I agree Elyeah. Leban looked good on just 2 weeks rest. I really thought Brock was done in the first. he took a beating.
