I doubt that, if the guillotines Cowboy had him in during their WEC fights didn't faze him, nothing Nate has is going to make a difference.

**Hitoshura** · 2012-08-12 23:28

Cowboy's BJJ =/= Nate's.

**tyven** · 2012-08-12 23:29

i think bocek's jits is as good or better than nate's and he had bendo's neck and couldnt end it. guy is untappable. maybe nates longer limbs will be the different tho. i just hope nate doesnt get embarrassed.

**Rhyis.** · 2012-08-12 23:38

Some of the shit Cerrone had Bendo in was completely locked up. Logically, he should've tapped like 3 times in that fight.

**AidenCarby** · 2012-08-12 23:42

I think Nate has a legitimate chance at winning this, if he can keep his distance and box him to a decision or pull off a sub off his back. Frankie, and Donald both have legit grappling games, Bocek has top tier jiujitsu and Jim Miller isn't bad, but Nate is the most dangerous off his back and certainly more active than anyone in the division, in terms of working his guard. (inb4 pettis, he's active but not as efficient as Nate.)

**tyven** · 2012-08-12 23:44

at this point nate has easily the best striking of them all. he has really turned the corner since dropping back to light weight. im hoping it becomes a boxing match and nate just boxes the shit out of him. fucking bendo leg kicks could ruin everything though.

Cain vs JDS confirmed for Dec. 29th

**Rhyis.** · 2012-08-13 11:50

I predict that fight will end as a NC via accidental headbutt.

Wtf Mayhem.

**Hitoshura** · 2012-08-13 18:28

Predicting a decision/TKO bloody win for Cain in the rematch but who fucking knows, could be another K.O from JDS late in the rounds or whenever Cain gets caught slippin', but I don't think Cain will be put away as easy. He looked like himself again when he fought big foot, not fat and rusty looking like in the first JDS fight.

Sucks for Mayhem.. dude is seriously going through some shit.

***Blarg*** · 2012-08-13 18:29

still not as bad as his fight against bisping

**Rhyis.** · 2012-08-13 18:31

OMFG.. praying that these guys can remain injury free, otherwise the best fucking way to end the year. Nate will be champion, Rua should rough this one out via decision or TKO but def won't be easy, Rory will probably steamroll Penn via mount/GnP unless BJ can stand strong with his boxing and doesn't get taken down with ease. I hope BJ takes all this time to really get ready for this fight, it's a fucking god awful match up for him unless he can pull a miracle sub or Rory is stupid enough to stand with him.

Idk how this is a bad match up for BJ lol, how the fuck is he the underdog? His striking is better, his jiujitsu is better, the question is: Is he half as motivated as he's showing the media?

**tyven** · 2012-08-15 11:23

rory mac is the future, he should be able to body BJ. rua will die against gustafson if it goes past the first.

Not saying he is the underdog but seriously just look at Penn's recent record. When was the last time he knocked out anyone or subbed them? Long time ago by today's standards, and as you pointed out, he isn't really showing much motivation already and the fight was actually going to be sooner than this confirmed new event. IDK I just have an awful feeling it won't be a good night for Penn.

If an in shape and motivated BJ shows up that forces Rory to stand and trade, defend subs, it has FOTY potential all over it.
