Fight break downs - Top 3 fights.. Short version...
TJ Dillashaw vs Renan Barao - TJ is a good wrestler, a solid fighter and well rounded but he's meeting a super star of the sport in Renan Barao whom is on a massive fight win streak.. (32-1).. Barao simply looks unbeatable right now and hasn't lost a fight since 2005.. Chances are Renan Barao is going to knock out Dillashaw (9-2) whom was stopped by John Dodson with strikes not too long ago..
Dan Henderson vs Daniel Cormier - Hendo's been on a nice roll lately but I smell trouble going into this fight.. Hendo was rocked and knocked silly and really showed his age in his last fight.. He was fortunate to land that sneaky upper cut to beat Shogun.. Now he faces a beast in DC whom has cut weight and looks great at 205.. DC is undefeated at 14-0.. http://www.sherdog.com/fighter/Daniel-Cormier-52311
Daniel Cormier is the full package now at 205, wrestling, punching power, has shown a great chin and remains undefeated in his MMA career... This probably will be the fight where Hendo get's dropped and KO'd.. Hendo's only chance in this one is for him to keep his distance and land that H-Bomb. DC should be stronger, have better cardio and be the more dominate fighter in basically all areas... To Dan's credit he has landed the H-Bomb before to end fights so it's possible but not likely... DC has never been rocked or wobbled from a punch yet in his fights....
Robbie Lawler vs Jake Ellenberger - Robbie Lawler has looked solid lately, he's been dominate standing and is solid on the ground.. Jake Ellenberger is a (great wrestler) but I'm thinking Robbie keeps it standing and KO's Jake at some point.. Robbie Lawler, some would say got robbed against Johnny Hendricks (great wrestler) in his last fight.. I'm sure he's still bitter over that and will seek revenge starting with Jake Ellenberger..
