I see Cavalcante getting Mike Kyled again, Britt lacking in the sub department but he should hold every other advantage in this fight

I could see that being possible. Really not too stone cold on any of these fights, but feel I have a good handle on the card overall...

Overeem...Far superior striker, better submissions, more agile, in better shape, better all around fighter too. Only way he loses is if he gets caught.

Arlovski...Was questioning this one until the weigh-ins, really thought Big Foot would look much bigger for some reason. Arlovski is too quick, and technical. If he works the gameplan, he can easily win a decision, or land a nice shot. Always have to worry about Arlovski's chin though, as I'm sure you're well aware.

Cavalcante...It's going to be a war either way. Really like what I've read about him putting in lots of time with Anderson, and training with Rua in order for him to get ready for Machida.

Villasenor...While he's not a top tier striker, he's one of the better ones Jacare has fought. Think this is another fight where if the right game plan is used (get in and get out in this case), I can see an easy win.

I think your way off on the Jacare fight.Jacares improved his standup alot,but this fight isnt gonna stay on the feet very long. Joeys takedown defense is trash, he got owned on the ground by ninja, and in his last fight he got taken down by cyborg,lol.Jacares a world class bjj champion, and will have no problems getting this fight to the ground and getting a sub or a lopsided unanimous decision.

SFHA: 2-2 (-1.50)
YTD: 55-40 (+24.47)

Was my 3rd losing card in a row, but not really a bad card.

Overeem and Cavalcante did exactly what I expected.

Arlovski looked horrible. Guy is a headcase apparently. Bad pick by me.

Villasenor almost had that fight. Not going to exactly say it was a very close fight, but it was wayyy closer than most people thought. A lot of you thought I was nuts. Jacare was overwhelmed standing up, and gassed in that fight. Not a 5-1 fav in my eyes, but to each their own.

I was with you on the Villasenor play... There was value with that line. He showed it, but just didn't cash in our value

I love me some Jacare but he still shows room for improvement.
