[Leed]

I'm going with Nate and Brown.

 

[Xerxes]

Same here.

 

[Machida Karate]

NAte and Almeida!

I see Almeida grinding this one out!

 

[Icculus]

WAR MATT BROWN.
I love watching this guy fight anyone (who doesnt), but this should be a classic striker vs grappler, except the striker will win!!!!!!!!!

 

[Stapler]

So does anyone know if there is a reason on why Markham weighed in at 177 pounds? He seemed to be significantly bigger than Diaz at the weigh ins so that doesn't seem to fair to me. I'll still pick Diaz by submission.

This sounds fairly exciting.

Almeida has a real exciting gameplan..... Throw a punch, go for a leg, and repeat.

 

[Guymay]

good finish

 

[The Horticulturist]

Brown's striking reminded me of Mayhem's last fight ....

 

[box]

Nice sub, but boring fight. Hopefully Diaz and Marham put on a show.

Diaz fight is lopsided as hell. Markhams weighing alot by now compared to him.

 

[Guymay]

 

[The Horticulturist]

Yeah! Diaz winz

 

[UrbanBounca]

Wow! Diaz ******* owned Markham.

 

[box]

Diaz is puting on a ******* ass whooopin!!

 

[Canadian Psycho]

War Diaz!!!

 

[michelangelo]

Brilliant. Almeida looks like a mini Brock Lesnar at 170 lbs.

I'm glad Nate had a strong showing--Rory coming in 7 lbs. over is ridiculous!

edit: I'm really impressed with this Diaz kid. He really let his hands go, and dare I say, showed some BJ Penn style flexibility once he had Rory's back. Wow!

 

[coldcall420]

Champ pick em picked almeida for 2nd rd sub....Nate also 2nd rd sub

Nate looked good...really good!!!

 

[Guymay]

YES DIAZ !! his boxing looked really good .

byebye Markham

 

[MagiK11]

Diaz really did totally own Markham. Maybe moving up wasn't such a bad decision.
