    As for the grappling - Brown could be toast if it goes to the mat, sure. Pyle's a crafty jitz guy. Hathaway seemed to have gone down too easily and I can buy into Brown being better at fighting off those trips. If Pyle had a good single or double leg in his arsenal then I'd probably opt out on this one - I think Brown spends enough time on the feet and flusters Pyle w/ his pressure and power.
    I don't think Brown offers a bigger threat than Story, Head, or even Neer for that matter. Man, Brown vs Neer, now that'd be a fight!

          Happy to do so?

          Right after his birth July 26, I wanted to be home and not have to be so focused on my fight, but that’s the way it is
          - They called and said, `Hey, we need you to step in if you can. (for Thiago Alves) We know you’ve got the baby coming – any way that you could work around that and make this happen
          - It took some time -- sitting with the wife, talking about things, trying to see how she could be comfortable here alone without me for a week with a newborn baby in the house.
          - It was a big decision for us, and I’ll tell you right now that I took some time, but in the end I agreed
          - Brown's a powerful dude; he’s gonna be bringing it. I’m gonna be bringing it
          - We’ve known each other for a few years, training around here in Vegas
          - We’ve trained together, been to gym barbecues, and just hanging out. I know him, his wife
          - We’ve slugged it out on PlayStation before, sitting around the house, but he and I both have families to feed. We know what we’ve got to do
          - Just because we know each other doesn’t change the fact that we’re fighters and we have to fight. That’s our job. He wouldn’t have turned it down, I’m sure.
          - We’re just gonna go in there and whale on each other until somebody gives up.
          On what penetrating planet does that read as HAPPY to do so.

Looking at the prefight interviews he cites that he needed over a week to think on it because he recently became a father, had to dicuss it with his wife to leave her alone with the newborn, he also mentioned that he and Brown are social with each other as in hangs out and play videogames together, barbeques and stuff like that.
            He was sitting in on mmajunkie radio not too long ago, he talked about knowing Matt Brown and said he was confident he would get his hand raised --- He didn't talk about having to leave his wife home... He trains in Vegas and he's the kinda guy who is in the gym even when he doesn't have a fight, so the baby wouldn't have kept him out of the gym for long... anyway, the newborn doesn't mean he doesn't want to take this fight and had to take it... he believes this is one of the best fights for him in the WW division and I tend to agree with him. Brown has a nice win streak going with some hype behind him now (clearly, with everyone on here backing him) and he'd be easier to beat than a lot of the other guys at 170... anyway, this is the first time i'm ever playing mike pyle instead of fading him, and i'm only doing so because i have him capped as the favorite and the books have him at dog odds.

              Swick was almost knocked out by Demarques penetrating Johnson, was obviously in the wrong weightclass and had been talking about being sick for a while. Chin was non existent. Was obvious Brown was somehow improving his game tremendously, something a lot of people haven't grasped yet. Had brown TKO in that fight, anyway dont wanna fight about it or anything, was more to counter argue the people trying to defame Browns skills in this thread.

                          you didn't have to hit the opener on barosso. he closed at like +140. still huge value, told u i had him capped as a big favorite and expected him to be released as a dog.

                          and you're hating by talking shit and making memes lol.... we used to run these streets together

                                    yeah Vitooch had a thread and did a video once, I think Gaberz called him a noob and mocked his losing streak and Vitooch didnt take kindly and started creating memes. Probably why he has pics of Gaberz on his page!

                                      I was joking, i doubt he has any pics of gabe on his page. I just said him because I know gabe hates him and rocky would be too easy.

                                        Hence why I said like.
                                        Dont think diaz takes that fight. Immortal or Pyle is not a big enough name. Plus diazi might cry about a leg kick or wrestling or circling or jabbing or being white

                                          I always thought vitooch and sac were the same.

                                                            My name comes from a play on a nickname and of course the devil.
