UFC 121 Weigh Ins Live @ 5pm est

Sleeperin on the Hybrid. He's hands are way to quick for Gonzo. Gabe has a weak chin. Easiest fight on the card to call.

Schaub isn't experienced enough to handle a beast like Gonzaga, he'll go to sleep once Gabe puts his hands on him.

Hybrid aint gettin hit by dude. He aint Carwin. He's gonna slip and counter and do the damn thang.

Just like he did against Big Country?

Big Country is a lot more technically sound than Gonzaga is. Gonzaga was outstruck by a 44 year old Couture. Shaub would represent his best career win outside of Crocop.

U are alot higher on Shaub than I am thats for sure.

Shaub will be a top ten HW someday, someday soon.

Think so?? I just dont really see it although he is probably the favorite over gabe I dont think he would be a favorite over 2 many in the top 10.

But Brok blows and is overrated? Yeesh

I didn't say he was the best HW in the world, did I? Shaub is a gifted athlete with very fast hands, good cardio and a good work ethnic. He has been dominant against everyone he has fought except Nelson, but Nelson I've thought was a top ten level HW since his IFL days.

Saw the weigh ins earlier, Brock looked good, Cain looked soft but similar to his usual, about as much a size diference as I expected.

Even though it's obvious Cain has the edge in striking, I wouldn't be shocked at all if Brock catches him standing.

Well Cain beats Brock down Shaub can do it next LOL.

Shaub is a good fighter but I dont think he is sniffing the top 10 for a while.

Ever for me

Cain started his career at 250 then 246. At 2-0 his first UFC fight was at 235.5, then 236, 239, 238, 239, and 243 against Nog. No reason to think Cain is not in the best shape of his life as well. Since getting to the UFC he has been putting on about 1 and a quarter pounds per fight

Speed and mobility is what Cain needs to Beat brock, 244lb seems awfully high for that tactic and a man of his frame, he should be in the 220lb-235lb region.

He should be smaller than he has ever been before for this fight? I disagree. He has his speed, it will be faster.

225 is asking to get overpowered, like the weight, he'll be maybe a little slower then usual, but still faster and quicker then Brock, still picking Brocky though.

Brock clips him and then follows up on the ground with a TKO win. Not sure if 1st or 2nd round though

I can't wait to see Brock on his feet. He realized he actually has to work on his boxing and having a 2nd camp with Welch plus Barry in there had to help. I have a hard time believing an athlete of his caliber wouldn't start to pick things up pretty quickly once he really started to train

You think Cain is quicker?

Agree, think he still won't be as good as Cain standing, but better and if he hits Cain.....what's the reach diff? Brock has like an 82 inch reach right?

Without a doubt.

He's one pound bigger than he was in his last fight. All his moves were quick and precise. Cain hasn't even come into his physical prime yet.

Yeah, think its like 5 inch advantage
