I'm leaning Barao, Cub and Snake but I'm not sure on any of them.

I'm really confident on Barao the other two are pretty close to toss ups. I just think Poirier and Snake have been getting hit too much lately which isn't good given their opposition here

Mayday, Cub, Snake

I think Mayday has a chance for sure with his power and his boxing. Really looking forward to a standup battle between Manuwa and Snake.

Just curious, since I didn't have room for any more fights on a poll. How do you guys see both Nelson vs Santiago and Jimmo vs Te Huna playing out? I think both are tough fights but I'm taking Jorge and Te Huna.

So am I, but they are tough to pick. Really an epic card in regards to what look like well matched fights. But yer slutch a knewb for not adding Te Huna vs Jimmo oh mah gawld

Yeah I know Wasn't sure which one to pick, all of them seem close to me, but what do I know...

I hope to god Che Mills soccer kicks Matt Riddle in the head until he's unconcious on Saturday night.

Barao, Cub, Snake.

I voted Mayday, Cub and Snake. That's probably how I'll keep it. I think Mayday's power could be the difference.

Yeah it's a great matchup for sure. This fight was going to happen at some point, glad it's now and not later. I wonder how many times they will end up fighting?

Three minimum, though I could see McDonald moving up to FW in a few years or Barao moving to 125.

You didn't see where Barao said if/when Aldo moves up, he is moving up as well? Saw that last week I thought? Anyways, that's what he is saying. Aldo moves up to LW and he moves up to FW. So maybe we see this same matchup at FW down the road?

Yeah, but I think he would have better success at 125 then 145.

So you think he moves up to 145 and then goes all the way down to 125? Cause it sounds like he is going to be at 145 eventually. But I guess a loss tomorrow could change everything.

I went Mcdonald, Swanson, and Manuwa. Close fights, though. I also have Santiago and Te Huna.

I got the same with all those except I have Snake. But yeah, close fights.

I'm really only picking Manuwa due to hype, but I am actually considering betting Snake just because of the matchup he represents. A 6'6 southpaw with pro kickboxing experience is tough to prepare for at this weight class.
