Good Card

Philly Fan 27 12-26-2012 10:24 AM

i think more pressure is on the challenger than the champ

I cannot wait for this one. Dos Santos is my favorite HW fighter, the guy is extremely likeable not to mention his fights are exciting. Cain is going to need to get this one on the mat to have a chance. His stand up defense is not the greatest, and Junior's boxing/striking is the best in the division.

Definitely have been looking foward to this main event for a while. I still think JDS is gonna KO him early. Also see that Leben is on the card, would love to see him get KO'd as well.

Hey chris leben is on the card. i like watching him fight, usually lays it out on the line. and likes to trade shots with anyone.
i think the champ will take this one again.

Philly Fan 27 12-26-2012 07:33 PM

im kinda pulling for leben b/c of the whole sobriety thing. he's always entertaining so anything to lengthen his career and life is a good thing to me

I think Jr. scares people the way Mike Tyson did. You walk into the ring on the defensive.

Should be a great card.

I dont see how Dos Santos Loses this one.
His striking is second to none, and Velasquez looked lost last time they fought.

I always get scared when too many people are confidently picking the same person as me, just makes it feel like it's doomed for failure haha. But; I see this fight going about twice as long as the first one (which isn't very long) with the same result.

And STILLL champion...

i think he looked lost b/c he blew out his acl a week before. if cain is healthy, it should be a different fight. JDS has great take down defense, but cain's takedowns are a little better than frank mir's. i think the game plan for each guy is obvious-cain wants to ground n pound and JDS wants to box. should be a great fight. i wanna say JDS wins, but im not putting $ on it

Im starting to second quess myself. I kinda tuned out of mma fights for a while and fighters i thought for sure would win, would lose. New guys ive never heard of before seem pretty talented. whereas i wouldnt of normally picked them to win, but they are winning. didnt do aswell as i thought i would of in mma fantasy. so my picks now are complete guesses.:B)

The only way I see CV winning is if he lands a one punch KO......I consider that a Tall order after seeing JDS shake off a Carwin right hand without flinching...I've said it before and I dont mind saying again that the only way nyone beats JDS until he is at least 35?? is a "work" job.

He's a badddddd MOFO and I feel hasnt yet even peaked as a fighter.
