You kiddin me bro? Subbing Manhoef and Hunt from the top is one thing but subbing Babalu Sobral - decorated BJJ black belt with 18 wins by sub - is another. That's a brave pick right there man. If it happens I'll have to force a spoon through my laptop screen and eat this comment. @ BigDave: “Musasi by 3rd round sub.” You kiddin me bro?

Despite my above pick I've got visions of Kyle catching him in the opening minute, hard. metalmulisha for your sake I hope Taylor doesn't hold Hieron down for 3 rounds. Although by no means probable, I do think that it is a bit more likely than you seem to think. Whoever said above that they have a feeling Kyle could KO Werdum – I somewhat agree.

To be quite honest I had to go back and read your post again to see what you posted before. So your attempt at humor in regards to my post was not only dumb is was pointless. But if it makes you feel better to think your post has an impact on me leaving the comments to others on this site if Mousasi KO's Babalu with a upkick I'll also never post another comment. Feel included now. Angry Mike to be honest my post was more or less directed at Cory’s prediction in his article. To be quite honest I had to go back and read your post again to see

And I couldn't care less whether Taylor was on TUF or whether he did or did not get a raw deal from UFC. He has less experience than Hieron, but imo, he's got more raw talent. Whether he ever harnesses it is an open question, but I still think he can take Hieron. But I'll accept your challenge. If Hieron wins, I promise never to read one of your posts on this site again.

Especially with the top two wws outside of the UFC thing(Him and Shields)(Again thats why they should have been looking for them two to fight for the title in the first place, but i digress...). I just dont know if Hieron can stop taylor from taking him down. CB Dollaway is the same caliber wrestler Hieron is and Taylor put him on his back a few times. Taylor being a massive ww also has me scratchin my head on this one. You know Mulisha im thinkin the same thing.

That's how strongly I think this fight is a mis match. Either people aren't to familiar with Hieron or they have a distorted take on Taylor because he was on TUF. And trust me I'm not a JT Money hater I personally think he got a raw deal from the UFC but that's another topic. However Hieron is probably one of the two or three best 170lb. fighters outside of the UFC, and he's going to land a lot of heavy punches on Taylor.
