Locks of the Year

Cain over Mir
JDS over Reem
Creepy over Mouse

Honorable mentions: Paul Harris over Belcher and Gus over Thiago.

Mouse is 2-1 favorite in the rematch by the oddsmakers.

I know. How LOL is that?

Kind of surrising imo. I can really see that as a pick 'em fight.

Creepy is great at making adjustments. I think he wins more convincing then he did last time(cause he won last time)

Paul Harris over Talent is not a lock. Alan has some of the best leg lock guys working with him to prepare him for the fight including Dean Lister and Davi Romos.

That won't save him. He is gonna get steam rolled. Just hope he taps early, his career has been fucked up enough by injuries.

So you agree with the other locks?

AV bet OU? How about I bet you Alan gets out of the first round?

How about just betting he gets finished? Allan makes it the distance, you win.

Your on.

Awesome. So what do you think about the other locks?

Not seeing any of those fights as locks.

You must be looking at it wrong.

Those are all good fights.

I'm willing to give handicapped odds on all fights mentioned. Name your fight.

So you don't think any of these are good competitive fights. All done deals?

Cain over Mir and Gus over Thaigo are locks.

JDS over Overeem is a lock in my eyes, but I could see many people saying different.

Creep vs MM is not a lock, but I favor Creepy to win.

I think Cain over Mir is the closest fight resembling a lock.

Order of Confidence

Cain over Mir
Palhares over Belchar
McCall over Johnson
Overeem over Dos Santos
Silva vs Gustafssen - undecided

I pretty much agree with this.

Except I'm extremely confident in JDS, which I'm sure you already know. That is the fight I'm most confident about. Mouse would be the the fight I'm least confident about. But just like I'm pretty sure Forrest will beat Tito again(for what should be the 3rd time). I'm pretty sure Creepy gets it done. I think Reem has a good chance vs anyone in the World...except JDS. That dude will own him.

Cain over Frank is definitely a lock, the other two aren't IMO.

Hendricks over Koscheck

Barnett over Cormier-

But I still got a tournament to fight. Bit by bit, inch by inch, one by one, I'm going to take them down. One skeleton in the collection to the next until I'm standing on top of a pile of bodies with gold in my hand.

I like those, but they aren't locks for me. But I can't stress enough how confident I am in JDS for this fight.

Brian Stann over Alessio Sakara is a lock
Rory McDonald over Che Mills
Jon Dodson over Darren Uyenoyama
Antonio Silva over Roy Nelson
Renan Barao over Ivan Menjivar

I can't wait until Frank subs Cain, that will be exciting.
