My picks are in, really struggled with the Nog vs Herman fight. I feel like Nog is darn close to being completely shot even though I thought he looked pretty good against Mir in the rematch until he got in trouble on the ground, I also think he hasn't had enough time to fully recover from his injury and yet Herman isn't really in the same league as a healthy Nog so I'm struggling with this pick. Its certainly a 50/50 for me.

 

Chime in mother F'ers. You don't have to give away your picks to talk about this card.

 

TFK, you missed one fight on the main card. Phil Davis vs Wagner Prado

 

Herman sucks.

I had a harder time picking the Silva vs Fitch fight.

 

That's another tough one, but I still struggled with Nog vs Herman more, too many variables in that fight. Forgetting that the fight is in Brazil though, I think Nog stands a better chance than usual. He'll be motivated.

 

They are showing 6 fights on the PPV. I want to keep the contest as uniform as possible from card to card, so I am only putting 5 fights in each contest. I chose to omit the Davis fight.

TFK

 

Poor Phil.

 

Davis is just going to wrassle the dude to a UD anyway.

 

He may sub him. He's got some sub skills too. Don't be hatin' on Mr. Wunderful.

 

hoping to see a breakout performance by erick silva. i'd be impressed if he blasts out fitch or even if he just wins convincingly via decision.

 

Same here, Silva has a LOT to gain in this fight, Fitch has a LOT to lose. Fitch is not in a good position in this fight.

 

Fitch will most likely smother him to a UD. Unless he gets blasted like he did against Hendricks but I woulnd't count on that happening.

 

god i hate the way fitch fights. so fucking boring.

 

fitch just won't go away. having said that, that was an impressive win.

 

glover's relentless, but he got tagged and hurt at the end of that round.

 

haha. not really impressed w/ this guy.

 

big nog looks fat.

 

herman's a goof ball. if nog wins, they'll probably throw him in against struve.
