    Although I'm fairly confident Diaz wins, I'm quite looking forward to Diaz Vs Daley.

    Me too dude. I am a bit of a Diaz hugger, but this is a fight I am really looking forward to.

    The interest comes mainly from Nick's growing love of his stand up. He could make this an easy fight on the ground, but I know he'll make it a stand up war with Daley.

    And by the way, TLC and I had a debate a while back about Daley's laziness and lack of ability to consistently hit 170. He missed twice in the UFC and has now missed twice since leaving the UFC. Both misses since the UFC have come in title fights, one with SHARK and one with BAMMA.

    Don't be shocked if this ends being a non-title affair because Daley's lazy ass doesn't make weight.

    I'm excited about this one too. Diaz really should win this one easily on the ground, but just like you said, I have a funny feeling that he will want to trade with Daly and that could make things interesting.

    Askren UD
    Hieron UD

    Who the fuck are these last guys? How do you pick fights like this? Neither has ever fought anyone and I have never seen either fight.

    I'll take a wild guess and say Chandler UD, cause he doesn't have a stupid mustache.

    To be honest, I included the Chandler-Woodard fight because both guys won their quarterfinal bouts in the Bellator LW Tourney and the winner faces Patricky "Pitbull" Freire in the final. So basically I'm forcing you to learn about these guys before they hit the final. :giggle:

    I am an evil bastard like that.

    Yeah, I guess I would rather stick with the mainstream guys, otherwise it's going turn into a guessing game.

    Good point.

    I just want to be able to involve the Bellator Champions and it makes sense to learn early on about who they might be fighting.

    I'll keep it a little more mainstream from here on in although I will still include any Bellator Championship bouts or fights involving known guys such as Hieron, Riggs, Saunders, Herring, etc.

    Give me a pass on this one please!!!

    It's fine, include what ever fights you want man. I'm ok if I have to guess a few over the course of the season.

    I agree. For me, Strikeforce and Bellator have been more fun recently.

    By the way, make some picks JOM. It's just for fun.

    As much as I love Bellator, I can't wait for the SF card. Seriously, depending on who you ask, there might be 4 of the top 20 fighters in the world on that card with Diaz, Melendez, Mousasi and Aoki. Obviously I don't think that about Mousasi and Aoki but maybe they can convert me tonight. Hope not.

    Plus I would literally take knees to the groin to watch Aoki, Mousasi and Daley possibly lose!
