Yeah, poor Caol is going to get smashed imo... Shame really.

I would also like to see Gomi win if for no other reason than to have BJ have a fight that isn't a rematch. He did look in good shape at the weigh ins so maybe he won't gas and can put on a good fight. If he does get to fight BJ I think they should have to prove who has the better chin so the fight would involve them smashing their heads together like rams. I'm also disappointed that Uno wasn't given an easier fight considering the outcomes of the past 2.

BJ-Gomi would be a rematch noob... and you act like you know what you are talking about.

Penn has a better chin, Gomi has been knocked down on more than one occasion which is clearly proof.

that was like 6-7 years ago noob, there is a big difference between rematching kenny after only a year and rematching someone that barely any ufc fans would even remember. that fight was also before gomi's pride run so stop being a bad person.

Gomi has only let us see him knocked down to make us think his chin isn't as good as BJ's but it was all a calculated plan to trick BJ into head ramming him without really understanding how good it is

Kenny Florian (156) vs. Takanori Gomi (155)
Roy Nelson (263) vs. Stefan Struve (248
Nate Quarry (186) vs. Jorge Rivera (186)
Ross Pearson (156) vs. Dennis Siver (156)
Andre Winner (156) vs. Rafaello Oliveira (156)
Jacob Volkmann (155) vs. Ronys Torres (155)
Robert Emerson (154) vs. Nik Lentz (155)
Caol Uno (156) vs. Gleison Tibau (156)
Yushin Okami (184) vs. Lucio Linhares (184)
Gerald Harris (186) vs. Mario Miranda (186)
Charlie Brenneman (170) vs. Jason High (170)

My picks also. Although, I'd like to see Gomi, Emerson and Uno come out victorious, but I don't see either happening.

Spoiler: show

Pearson is looking fantastic so far.

[Blarg]

pearson to me seems like a natural, I thought the riley fight would have been too much for him but he just seems to know what to do in the standup. I like what he is doing with jabbing and quickly backing up to get out of the way of the counter. It's also good to see that he seems to have good cardio

[Blarg]

In style matchups gut beats height

[EckoGecko]

Roy will come up quick if he keeps that up. Wow.

[dudeguy]

For the little amount of time they fought it was hilarious to see them standing beside eachother

[Rhyis.]

So much for the reach advantage.

[Rhyis.]

Nothing even to say to that.

[Kyo]

Jesus christ these first two fights were short.

[Tekki]

anyone watching the show?

[Kyo]

Im watching, but all these fights are hella fast, and man that one kid that got cut was fucked up, BJ Penn style.

[Blarg]

highlight aside from the first fight was the frenchie who wanted to prove that the french don't give up... giving up between rounds

[Tekki]

some super bloody and awesome fights. goddamn Lynch's nose.....

[FNH]

dudes nose got fucked up like he got hit with a baseball bat.

[Rhyis.]

Looks to be a good season.

[Rowe]

wow, that nose was nasty. It was like the guy stood there and took a 90mph fastball to the face.

[Kyo]

Man, dat nose.
