Stoolcannon I changed the buentello/baby fedor pick again

[WAR RANDLEMAN!]

I went back to Buentello. After reviewing more video of Sidelnikov and a few Buentello vids, I've decided the Headhunter will most likely knock him the fuck out. Kiril throws wide looping shots and goes straight ahead into fights, while Buentello has strong straight shots, and a reach advantage. Sildenikov hasn't fought any names at all and that's probably the only reason he looked decent, so I decided to settle on my first pick.

[WAR RANDLEMAN!]

Plus baby fedor is just too gay of a nickname to be associated with.

[WAR RANDLEMAN!]

I just figured I'd let you know cause I suggested changing yours but decided it wasn't the best choice.

im picking the upset

[WAR RANDLEMAN!]

I've already changed it 3 times so I better just leave it where it's at now. I haven't ever seen a ground game from Kiril in any of his videos.

[P 2 Tha Mofo J]

soko and vitor are just risky picks imo

[WAR RANDLEMAN!]

Both have the ability to win. Babalu looked like shit vs Southworth until the cut stoppage, and Lindland looked horrible vs Fabio Negao.

[P 2 Tha Mofo J]

hmm i dont know i guess you might be right, but I don't see why matt wouldnt just lnp vitor. soko i could see giving babalu problems though.

[WAR RANDLEMAN!]

I believe Vitor will light him up on the feet. If he can keep Matt at a distance and away from the clinch I can see him putting him out.

[Elk Penis]

Baby Fat Fedor also keeps his lead hand low. That hasn't been a problem since he's been facing cans and has decent head movement and footwork. However, against Buentello, who's going to have big reach advantage and has pretty quick hands for a heavyweight, it will probably be a problem.

Baby Fat needs to drop down to 205. He looked fat and out of shape at the weigh ins. He could have beaten Buentello by making it a tough fight and wait until Buentello slows down or gasses. From the looks of it, Baby Fat is gonna gas first:

Buentello - round 1 or 2 KO.
