So UFC 130 is happening - the question about the main event is "Can Rampage be motivated enough to win?" That is the only interesting thing. I think 60% of Rampage demolishes 110% of Hammil. Rampage wins by TKO in a fight where the only drama is in the minds of a few hardcore fans like me.
Rick Story is super strong, but Alves is too. Considering that Story has had tough fights with less, I think he gets beaten up here. Safe pick with long time top 5 welter Alves.
Roy Nelson KOs the shit out of Frank Mir. Everyone thinks Nelson is an elite heavyweight afterwards except people who watched Nelson fights prior to TUF.
Browne KOs Struve inside a round.
Santiago KOs Stann. I know Stann hits hard and Santiago's chin is questionable, but c'mon. Santiago is a skilled fighter who's faced better.
Has anyone noticed that Demetrious Johnson got his ranking beating a guy who hadn't had a meaningful win in like 3 years? And by beating Damacio Page, who's fame comes from an episode of the unwatchable shitfest that was Tapout? Miguel Torres is winning a decision and brings the exciting back because he's easily hittable.
Kendall Grove beats the shit out of the Viking Boetsch. Guys moving down like this who were never that good at their original weight rarely work. He'll probably lose a lot of his strength and get KOed.
Tibau and Tractor are both top control guys. Who wins? The guy who is stronger. That's Tibau. Tibau wins.
Other fights I know not enough about both competitors to make a prediction.
