As i can only fit 8 on the poll out of the 10, i'm leaving the Henderson - Anderson fight off there and Sakara vs. Leben as Sakara and Henderson are the best underdogs (odds wise)
Explain how you think the underdog you pick will win.
Personally i fancy Jake O'Brien at 14/5, i think he can pull off a boring decision against Arlovski.
Its shocking that Sakara is even an underdog...id take him at even money. Tanner is a great bet as well. I also personally took Wilson over Fitch because of the line. There's a chance Fitch is overlooking his upcoming fight against a game fighter.
lots going with herring but his game plans have really sucked so i dont know with him. hazzlet has the perfect style to beat kos. kos stand up is good but Dustins is just as good and his grappling is miles aheads of kos so im going with him...most of all i want to see tanner win i just dont think he will
Went with Herring, I think out of the choices he has the best chance to score the upset. I just don't any of the other guys winning, tho I could be wrong about Wilson...but I doubt it.
choke wire what makes you think Hazzlet has better wrestling, I don't know his background?
I chose Herring and Hazelett to win, but since Haze is more of the underdog I chose him in the poll. I think he will catch KOS sometime in the first with a sub with all the takedowns. At first I chose KOS by decision, but I changed my mind.
Chris Wilson has a chance to beat Fitch...its small, but he's a talented guy. If I had to vote, I'd go with Herring, as I think if he fights with half a brain, he'll put Kongo on his back.
Herring's a nice money bet, if he shows up and fights the way he fought against Nog, Erikson and Kerr. He can take Kongo down and pound him out, if he doesn't stand there banging with him for three rounds.
If he tries standing with him it wont be for three rounds.If he takes em down i see something along the lines of mccully vs hardonk. If he tries standing with him i see something along the lines of him getting ktfo
I put some thought into Heath vs Kongo, and yeah, I think Herring might pull it off, since he has the tools to do so. It wouldn't even be an upset to me, since Heath's still a solid fighter. I picked Kongo before, but Herring could win this.
Although I think the only reason he is the underdog is because of a long absence. Both guys have lost to Franklin, and we just don't know how Tanner is going to come back he has a lot of experience and has had some time to train again, maybe he'll come back even better.
I would have said "if 2007 taught you anything, it's pick all the underdogs", but not so much for this card, most of the underdog's are pretty stumped.
But I'll go with the crowd and pick Herring because I don't like Cheick, and Tanner because we might see a flash of his past.
