Escudero by UD

Vitor Belfort – VIA KO
Mirko “Cro Cop” Filipovic- VIA TKO
Paul Daley VIA TKO
Frank Trigg- VIA SUB
Tyson Griffin- VIA UD
Jim Miller VIA SUB
Drew McFedries- KO
Vladimir Matyushenko- VIA SPLIT DEC

If dos Santo has the right game plan–keep Cro Cop backing up–he’ll win, probably by tko or ko. Cro Cop’s always dangerous when he’s moving forward.

Kos is going to run over Trigg, but Trigg will get the George Hamilton bonus for best tan of the night.

Daley has a puncher’s chance, but barely. Kampman is big, hits hard, and has a respectable ground game. Way to diverse for Daley.

Griffin’s game is so much better on so many levels that if he doesn’t stop Franca it’s really a loss.
Same with Cole Miller.

Also, for someone who’s really trying to sell the fact that Trigg is better than Kos, I’m kind of surprised you would pick him winning by split decision (something that usually means the guys are close in skill)

Belfort is the real deal and sorry Cory but Franklin is going to be destroyed.
Belfort ko rd1 kotn

Cro cop buckles under pressure and doesn’t like being hit and Dos Santos is gonna do just that and often.

When are people going to realize koscheck is not that good. Trigg has been in there with better guys and IS a better fighter all round then kos period

Drwal 1st Rd TKO

I wont bore you with my insight.

“Cro Cop via KO or TKO-”dido””- is that like “ditto”?

Ugh, blah, bam, boom

I easily forget

Wow no way,

I did not even see that

I was going to say that Belfort/Franklin only ends 2 ways, Belfort via KO rather early, or Franklin via Decision..

Apparently you guys know what I’m thinking haha..

Belfort seems to be back on track and more dangerous than ever.. I honestly believe that we may see an Anderson-Silva-esque destruction of Franklin..

Rich is one of the smartest, if not THE smartest fighter in the world, so he knows that Vitor is new and improved, he knows he’s fast, and he knows he’s powerful.. And Rich is great at carrying out specific gameplans against his opponents.. He could very easily control Vitor and stay away from any kind of power shots.. That wouldn’t surprise me one bit.. But, for some reason, I think this will be a night of upsets..

Belfort via KO r1

I’ll be rooting for Cro Cop, not only do I love seeing him win, but I hate hate to see him lose.. I don’t know why, it just tears (like, tear paper, not crying, haha) me up.. If this was Pride’s Cro Cop he’d probably already be the HW champion right now.. But, honestly, I never know how he’s going to perform.. He could come in and knock Dos Santos into last week.. But, I think he’s going to come in, be too calm, let Dos Santos be the aggressor, throw a few missed shots, and then BAM, hit the floor.. I hate to say that, too..

Dos Santos via KO r1 or r2

I’ll be rooting for Daley, too..
I’m not sure how he’ll do against Kampmann, though.. He always comes to fight, that’s for sure.. And he hits really hard, with a wide variety of strikes.. His sub defense looked pretty good in the Shields fight, he just couldn’t quite squirm out of that last armbar.. Since then he’s gone 3-1 with those 3 victories coming by knockout.. Really, people should be giving him more of a shot than they are.. Kampmann has a good shot at winning via Submission or Decision here, but I’m gonna go with my gut feeling..

Daley via TKO r2 or r3

I think Kos will give Trigg problems everywhere.. He’ll probably stop his takedowns, and get a few of his own while he’s at it.. Of coure he’ll take the striking..

Koscheck via Decision..

Ahhhhh Hermes Franca.. I freaking love that guy.. When I see him rock somebody, or pull off one of those explosive submissions, I get all warm inside.. The problem is, we don’t really see him do that anymore.. He has amazing Jiu Jitsu, but the way he uses it is… bad. Rather than working for submissions he likes to just wait.. and wait.. and wait.. and then EXPLODE out of nowhere with a submission.. And if that misses, he goes right back to waiting, and waiting, and waiting.. That causes him to lose decisions.. Now, he’s pretty famous for his hands.. That’s where his chances in winning this fight will be.. I will root for him, but there’s and easy pick here..

Griffin via Decision..

This is probably going to look like a huge Wall’O'Text..
