UFC 130 predictions

Gotta agree with most of your picks except I think Mir is still a cut above Big Country fatty.

He should submit the fatty or win a decision.

But, as you say he could get KO'd himself.

The Brian Stann fight could be the best fight of the night.

And Rampage is gonna smash Matt Hammill.

Basically spot on. Mir was too strong and had way better cardio than big fatty. Roy needs lose weight, its not even an option any more. If the man has the delusion that he could beat any of the top heavyweights right now in that kind of shape then he has already signed himself up for being a journeyman for the rest of his career. I know he was supposed to fight carwin before but it was cancelled coz Carwin was injured....sooooooo lucky for Nelson. Nelson would of been destroyed in seconds !!!! JDS, Carwin, Lesnar, Velazquez are all beasts and to contend with them you gotta at least be in shape. Brian Stann showed some impressive leg kicks and decent hands, got some serious power. If he can hit you, hes in the fight and I dont care if Leben was sick in that fight coz I dont think it changed the outcome. Hamill looked like shit. No plan B at all. Where were these 'heavy hands' we heard about? His outstanding wrestling ability? I have always thought he was limited and that the whole heavy hands thing was hyped to disguise him as multi dimensional fighter which really isnt true, if he cant get you to ground then hes in trouble. Dont get me wrong he can probably outstrike the mediocre light heavies but with guys like Jones, Machida, Jackson, Rua, Evans...you dont wanna strike with those and all of them have above average take down defence so I think Hamill needs to find a different weight division or more skill.

Thank you thank you I'll be here all week.

Common sense said that Mir vs. Nelson and Jackson vs. Hamill were basically a couple of tune up fights. Hamill is a nice guy, and boy does he play that being deaf card for all its worth, but he is a good wrestler in a sport filled with GREAT wrestlers. He beat a nearly shot Tito Ortiz and that is probably the biggest career win he will ever get. I didn't order the ppv, but I was surprised to read that Rampage didn't stop Hamill. Sounded like he dominated the fight though.

And Brian Stann is probably one of the most mentally tough guys in MMA with his military combat experience. He destroyed Leben and he just stopped Santiago so that puts him in the top 5 at MW. Stann vs. Marquardt would be a good fight.
