Big Country vs Francisco Santos Mir III? who wins?

We needed a new front page poll with Edgar vs Maynard off. So who you got?

Had Roy but pretty sure I'm changing my pick to Mur

Why the change? I know I didn't put the options up but how do you see Fransico winning? Sub,dec or KO? I'm picking Roy by TKO but I think Fransico finds some success early on.

Roy's a good enough grappler to not get caught in one of Mir's submissions.I'd lean towards Nelson by decision.

Decision. I think Mir outstrikes him and picks him apart standing. Worried that Roy has just become a one-trick pony with that overhand right. I don't see it ever going to the ground

Yeah I can see that. I think it will go that way but I think Mir will get over confident after having early success and I think Roy eventually lands a game changer. I also think it very possible it never goes to the ground.

I got Roy, think it'll be a standup fight and Roy can take shots better.

I expected this to be a closer vote. It's the reason why I picked this fight as the poll over the Hamill vs Page fight. Figured it would be a closer poll.

Hammil would have been closer me thinks, some think he'll outwork Page to a decision, could happen, I'm rolling with my boy.

I thought maybe a couple would pick Hamill. But I expected this to be a close vote. I mean Mir is the slight favorite.

Was it just me or did Mir look huge at the press conference? Looks like he went back to his packing on muscle philosophy

No I saw some other clip of him and Roy on MMAF and he looked way bigger, I was surprised.

I thought so too.

I like Big Country. I think this will be the high profile win that has eluded Roy Nelson his entire career.

Go Mullet Man!

Im picking Mir to win by decision

The poll is starting to even out. I was worried when Fatboy jumped out to a 5 to 1 lead. This is more what I was expecting.

So apparently he was vegan for a year then went off of it and is actually cutting weight to make 265 this time around

Doesn't Roy also cut to get to the HW limit? I think I remember him saying he has to go easy on the burgers leading up to a fight.

I think Roy doesn't so much cut weight as he stops shoving nasty shit into his mouth for a couple days

6 in one, half a dozen in the other.

Big Country by knockout.

roy by tko. francisco looked old and slow in his previous fight. i think the losses to brock and carwin really beat him up physically and mentally
