am I the only one who thinks Etim is gonna take this fight? His stand up is better than Richie's and his ground game is solid. All that rich really has is experience and weight.

Rich is on a 5 fight win streak...

I havent watched a ton of Clementi's fights. But the way he told Guiliard how he was gunna put him away and then did it, was cool.

Experience is very important aswell, especially in big shows. That crowd gets you way more jacked then you need to be I.E. sucking the gas right of you.

No Love takes it. If it makes you feel better I'm maybe 1 of 3 that thinks Naka is gonna beat Soko

that was a tough one for me too. Reimey is sooo unproven and Naka knows how to make a fight last. But I think Soku's hands are better than Naka's chin.

I do hope soko becomes the star we think he can be, but I'm going with naka.

Should be a good fight (Naka v Soakajew). If No Love does win, I'd like to see who he faces next. That would be 6 straight wins. They would have to put him up against a top guy.

No Love by dec. See his fight vs Sam Stout, who has better stand up than Etim, though not as much of a ground game.


Soakajew by 1st round KO. I don't see Nakamura taking it, nor do I see it going to a decision. Even if it ends in the 2nd, I'll still take the 7 points. I think Sok's Africa power will break Nakamura eventually. Or he'll just try to take off his gi again.

Yeah, his decision with Stout was weighing on my mind.

Don't forget, prior to catching his sub vs Grice, he was getting pretty dominated on the floor, too.

Thats true. I guess I just don't hold Rich in very high regard. If he wins, he better get a shot at a top name.
