I give up on Paul Harris that dude will never get his head on straight, and I wouldn't be so quick to say Weidman wins. Boetsch is a tough b*stard just look at the Okami fight for evidence.

I just dont think he's cut out to be an MMA fighter, dude is a hellofa grappler though

The World Series of Fighting will have it's debut card on the same night as the Mir-Cormier Strikeforce card....dumb...or smart? Miguel Torres will headline the card against a currently unknown opponent the rest of the main card is: Josh Burkman vs. Gerald Harris, Gesias Cavalcante vs. John Gunderson, Gregor Gracie vs. Tyson Steele and Ronys Torres vs. Brian Cobb.


Weidman and Boetsch tentatively scheduled @ UFC 155...how does Boetsch logically win this fight?

He doesn't win that fight, at least not anyway that I see.

I will DVR the WSOF, the Strikeforce card is better.

Palhares vs. Lombard is the fight I wanted....great match-up. Roman, why do you think this fight won't happen?

Boetsch has some power, so it's possible he could get the KO. Don't see it happening tho, have Weidman winning soundly.

Good matchup. My nikka Toqinho cant take a punch tho :to:

His chin isn't that bad, based on what I've seen from him, he doesn't react well to getting hit.

Paul Harris has a tough match-up with Lombard. Lombard's judo [shyt is magnificent] neutralizes Paul Harris's biggest strength (his BJJ). And I don't see Paul Harris out-striking Lombard (although Lombard's striking is overrated). Don't count him out tho, this guy can pull subs out of nowhere.

Thats what i should have said more or less. Dudes whole gameplan flies out the door when he takes a good shot. This should be a great grappling match, as Paul Harris has great takedowns for a bjj guy, Lombard better be careful with his kicks, or hes gonna get snatched up and heel hooked quick :whew:

I doubt this fight hits the ground, unless Paul Harris pulls guard. Paul Harris's TDs are good, but it pales in comparison to Lombard's judo, this n!gga going to shrug off any TD attempts.

We'll see...he's good at grabbing a leg and making something happen. Lombard will try to close the space and make use of hip throws or trips...but who knows. Lombard was very timid last fight and i have a feeling Paul Harris will be turnt up. Hes had a long layoff
