Yo H-Funk, did you see Overeem's latest video on Vimeo?

If so, there's a shirt that has him and Lesnar as Street Fighter caricatures. I cannot find this shirt anywhere!! BTW, who you got?

I need to check that shirt out later :yes:

I'm thinking IF Lesnar doesn't bullrush him like he did Heath Herring a few years ago, Overeem has got the TKO/KO in Round 1 or 2. It really all depends on how well Overeem defends the takedown ... 'cause Brock isn't going to stand and take punishment for too long :D:eek::lol:

My picks, bro. How about you?

Gotta go with the Reem. His chin is the only question mark which is why I would make JDS a favorite against him.
Brock looked hungry and eager to rematch Cain, which speaks volumes of his character, but I will be very surprised if Brock wins by any form.

Very true, bro.

So many questions will be answered by this main event, as it's still sort of a PICK 'EM for many of us. Overeem has a suspect chin and cardio issues. He hasn't faced a fellow beast like Lesnar before. Lesnar last fought in October and July 2010 against CAIN and SHANE ... and both times he got roughed up and beaten down. CAIN defeated him, and he had to pull off a come from behind victory and the submission over SHANE. Where's his head/heart at? He hasn't faced anyone with A's credentials before. DREAM / K-1 / STRIKEFORCE. The Reem is a beast, and it's been 14 months since we've last seen LESNAR ... is he still hungry ... what's his cardio like, has his stand-up improved and CAN he take a punch better now? He collected himself against CARWIN, but got embarassed by VELASQUEZ. We will see :yes:

Absolutely, bro. Great watching the sport of MMA grow over the years. Props to Johniz on starting up this thread in the summer of 2006.

P03t - How did you do with your picks yesterday? I went 6-4, but had hoped to go 7-3 but Hendricks messed things up with that quick win over Fitch. As for the 11th bout that was scrapped a few hours pre-event due to Riddle's health, I had picked Matt Riddle over Luis Ramos ...

Anyone get their picks in for 142 yet?

I'm still undecided with the 2 co-mains. Will Mendes' wrestling work out even though he's lacking in overall MMA experience? Will Vitor and Rumble go to war, or will their styles lend to them being tentative and possibly stalemating? Tough to say ... BRAZIL, muthafuckas. Let me know who you're thinking with your picks ...

I didn't get my picks in for this card ... as I've been off with my picks of late, and I need to do better than 60 - 65% on average as I've been hitting of late.

As for my picks though ... I'm going with the following. Not sure of the round or method ... but here's what I'm thinking:

- CARVALHO
- PYLE
- ALCANTARA
- GONZAGA
- STOUT
- BARBOZA
- SILVA
- PALHARES
- BELFORT
- ALDO


I am unsure though with a number of them ... does Carvalho (fellow Canadian) deliver on his first big stage like this after having been called up? Pyle's favored to win ... but he's had his ups and downs. Alcantara's talented, but ... Gonzaga's been out of the UFC for awhile, but when he's on - he's a quality heavyweight. Stout ... that's my dude right there. One of the kings of collection the BONUS check money ... but how will he do with his first fight back after the death of his brother-in-law and coach/longtime mentor Shawn Thompkins earlier in 2011? Will he suffer the same fate as Mark Hominick with the lapse in gameplanning and judgment, or will he be able to persevere in front of the home crowd for Tavares? Stout is durable, and Tavares is skilled and crafty in his own right. Barboza is a machine. It should be interesting seeing how he matches up with Terry Etim (very dynamic in his own right, and needs to watch out for Edson's striking and kicks). Silva is a young up and comer. Trains with great talent. Palhares is very good on the ground and hard to move around with his compact frame. He suffers lapses in decision-making and fights emotionally though (hence the sports psychologist or therapist in recent memory, as has been noted). Do we get VINTAGE VITOR BELFORT? Or does Rumble come in angry and pissed off looking to kick dude's head off? Should be interesting to see how the 197 - 204lb rehydration process has affected Johnson. Aldo vs. Mendes? Aldo is one of the P4P best in the world. Mendes trains with great guys, but is still young in his career (despite being an accomplished wrestler). How long does he last in there, and is he good with his single- and more so DOUBLE-LEG takedowns and ground control and positioning? Aldo has strong takedown defense. Aldo has had his ups and downs since 2010 though ... the weight cuts and cardio issues ... and the injuries from the past. He's gone 25 mins with Faber, Hominick, and Florian ... despite outclassing them all. But ... he's noted to have tough weight cuts. Whereas Mendes is naturally a smaller build cat and doesn't have to worry about that going into his bouts. He came in at 144lbs at the weigh-in and wrestled at less in his HS and collegiate careers. Then again ... he isn't one of the P4P Top 3 - 5 in the world, and doesn't have his home country behind him like J.A. does.

Yeah man - these upcoming cards are gonna say alot with UFC ON FOX 2 and the next PPV.

I'm still a bit undecided with Diaz / Condit. Big fan of both and Diaz has looked great in recent years. As Condit even noted - his main asset is straight-ahead toughness. Diaz is a FIGHTER. Condit feels more well-rounded with a varied attack. Condit looked average in there against the Canadian homie Rory McDonald back in June 2010 ... but since then has looked great, most notably against Hardy and Kim with the big knockouts and explosive power. I wanna see them on the ground and how they compare ... but I have a feeling it'll be on the feet for a good duration.

* Who do you have for:

WEIDMAN/MAIA
EVANS/DAVIS
SONNEN/BISPING for the Fox 2 card this coming weekend, bro?

Dunno much about Weidman, will go with BJJ expert Maia.
Evans all day long. Wanna see what he can do against phenom Jon Jones.
Picking Bisping in an upset.

I believe Munoz was injured.

Weidman's definitely worth keeping an eye out for. Trains on the eastcoast ... has good wrestling and jits, and decent hand game to boot. I think the UFC is trying to see where he slots in against reputed talent like Maia who have had their ups and downs in recent years. Maia's improved his stand-up now which is good in that he isn't as 1-dimensional.

True ... Evans has too much experience. Davis has a better wrestling pedigree as far as collegiate experience goes, but Evans has been in the UFC since 2005/2006 and fought at heavy and light heavy, and Davis has solely been light-heavy since 2010 or so. He doesn't have the hand speed either. Lol @ Evans saying to him at the December 2011 press conference - "Guaranteed you're the first one to shoot. Guaranteed!" - totally fucking with the cat with the mind games and sport psychology :lol: - getting in his head and trying to bait him to stand and trade, not Davis' forte.

I've been hearing some 4-to-1 odds against Bisping ... that would be a big cash out for those who are into betting for sure.

I have a feeling Sonnen will be too much for him though. That said ... if Bisping comes out like a bat out of hell and aggressively, you never know. I just don't see him finishing though - doesn't have the power (Bisping). Sonnen's got that chip on his shoulder since 2010. I'm having a tough time going against him :lol:
