Tavares vs Romero
Tavares is boring as hell to me. Hes been decisioning cans for a min. Romero is a beast and should take his skull off. Hopefully he doesn't gas and get picked apart. Romero TKO rd 2
Cerrone vs Barboza
FOTN potential here. Both dudes are great muy thai artist and grapplers. There weakness are pretty much the same as they both fold when facing pressure(the Varner fight exposed Barboza greatly) I'm going with Barboza for the decision because I believe Cerrone is a fighter who just doesn't take the sport seriously anymore. He usually starts out slow so I expect Barboza to keep him at bay with leg kicks and pick his shots.
Tate vs Carmouche
This is a true pick em fight. This can go either way. Both of them are similar in strengths and flaws. But I'll go with Tate by UD. I could see Tate controlling with her wrestling. Carmouche is not that good. She looked like shyt against Davis and her record is not very good. But Tate still has that idiot Caraway in her corner so you can never count out Tate's oppopnent.
Browne vs Werdum
This sucks. I like Werdum and he should have got his shot over that third Dos Santos/Cain fight. Hes improved in his striking greatly since he came back. But hes going to lose. And lose badly. I'm done beating against Browne and I've realized hes the real deal. He has size, striking, length, good TDD. Hes destroyed almost everyone in the HW outside the two elite. Werdum does not do well against powerful strikers as we saw with Dos Santos/Overeem. And lets be real, hes last three fights against Russow, Nelson, Nog( Can, gatekeeper, beyond washed) is not exactly stellar competition, esp if you are fighting once a year. Browne by KO rd 1
