Great vid as always. For some reason, I see Taylor doing his best lay-n-pray like he did on the show and getting the UD victory. Sad they are not even showing that one on TV.
seems like you're really the ONLY youtube MMA pundit to both pick Carano to win and actually give objective reasons (gas, style, history, strategyetc..) unlike almost everyone else who seems to lazily and dismissively cite aesthetics for a Cyborg win.
Definitely one of my favorite bands, but I don't really have a ton of music on my computer right now besides Pantera. As I was picking something I was like, "man, I've been using Pantera for EVERYTHING lately." I'll mix it up a lot from now on.
Yes finally i have another person that thinks Carano can win. I think stand up Cyborg would destroy Carano. But I think Randy Coture will make a gameplan to take down Cyborg and for some reason I can see a ground battle. Carano probably will get Cyborg tired then in the later rounds she will no longer go for take downs and go for a stand up battle. The fight will either go TKO or decision to Carono.
Definitely worth a small wager for anyone betting online for a underdog.
lol it's all good man. I couldn't remember either, it took me like 30 seconds to recall the name.. And I agree with you that Strikeforce has done a good job with replacing fighters.
Diaz should lay off the crack... It's been twice now... (Against Gomi and now Hieron)...
The only match I'm looking forward to is Mousasi vs Babalu. It'll be my first time watching Mousasi fight other than the stuff I've seen on YouTube.
You're in a for a treat than. He's a great fighter and this is going to be a great match between Babalu and Mousasi. Just glad Strikeforce as able to bring the fight after Affliction folded.
Good video as always. Agree with everything you have except for the Cyborg/Carano fight where I think Cyborg will win it, but I think this should be a big huge step for woman's MMA.
I think Carano does have a chance to win by TKO in the later rounds. Of course, everyone is expecting Cyborg to rush out in the very beginning trying to devastate "Snow White" in the 1st, but it'll all come down to the quality of Gina's defense.
65% Probability- Cyborg will wear out and get TKO'd. I want Cris to win though.
No, but I just watched it. It's fairly impressive, I see fighters training like that on a daily basis at my gym. She's explosive no doubt. I stand by my pick.
gilbert actually lost to ishida, although I believe he actually won the fight.
I'm about 99% sure that fight is a decision either way unless someone gets injured or if Melendez uncorks a windmill punch and connects.
Mousasi by close decision, Babalu can actually stifle his stand up if he does what he did in his last few fights, just rough him up on the cage. I predict thats what he's going to try, but Mousasi is apt with knees and such.
also, I think we could be looking at a forrest vs rampage type matchup with cyborg and carano...close decision, cyborg doing more facial damage but carano landing more, and I have carano by racial discrimination/hot girl wins/hometown decision...although it'll be close.
haha, Brazilian isn't a race.....ethnic group or nationality discrimination would be acceptable. Also, I hope Cyborg doesn't do too much "facial damage", although it would increase my chances with Gina.
Women cant fight!

Prof,

Congrats in advance.
