I want BJ to win, but I believe that Nick will win. Penn's always had an issue with cardio. Nick beats guys by keeping up a ridiculous pace and eventually the guys wear down and it gives him the opening to go in for the kill. I can see Nick winning by TKO. Not because BJ's actually hurt or in trouble. Just because he'll get exhausted and won't fight back like he did with Fitch. However, the way I want it to pan out is BJ by KO. I believe he can do it. I just don't think he will.
My pick: Nick Daiz
I have Mitrione winning. Mitrione can fight man. I think we'll see Matt stand for a bit before clinching against the cage and taking it to the mat. I have it being a 3 round decision for Mitrione.
My pick: Matt Mittrione
I have Crocop winning. IMO I felt he was actually winning against Schaub until he made that stupid decision to turn his head as the punch was coming in. Roy can get a KO, but I don't think he matches up to Cop on the feet. I have Cop by decision. Sprawl and brawl.
My pick: Mirko Filopovic
Donald Cerrone is a beast man. Siver's no slouch. But Cerrone is just tough as nails, great BJJ, and excellent boxing.
My pick: Donald Cerrone
Brandon Vera will win by TKO. Elliot is good, but he's not at Brandon's level yet. Brandon's Muay Thai is superior. I see that being the deciding factor.
My pick: Brandon Vera
Tyson by decision.
The rest I don't know well enough to predict.
