Can't tell with the Bonnar fight...I think poor Babalu is gonna get Ko'ed again even though I want him to win the fight.

I dont think Babalu has a bad chin, even though it doesnt really matter when fighting Chuck the way I see it is hes only been KO'd once in his life and that leg kick he fell into was serious.. it woulda KO'd some of the strongest chins out there.. not somethin thats gonna happen often, hes gotta weather the storm and I think if Horn can go 4 rounds with Liddell.. Babalu can go 5! nothing against Horn, just how I see it.. and IMO if it goes into round 4, 5.. Babalu has the advantage and I think he'll win.. but Chucks gotta either dominate rounds 1-3 or finish him.
so its either Chuck wins by (T)KO or Decision or Babalu wins by suprise decision or submission.
for the record, im cheering for Babalu all the way!

I agree...If Babalu can make it out of round 3 without taking a whole heap of punishment, than he could easily take the fight. He needs to get Chuck to exert a ton of energy in the early rounds so that he can get him down and keep him down.

ya cuz we all know that chucks conditioning isnt the best and he'll gas, I think Babalu has a good shot of taking him down in the early rounds.. let it go to round 4 and he'll definently score a takedown and thats gonna be a problem for Chuck
Hell chuck was talkin about his ground game, his wrestling in the interviews.. hopefully for us Babalu fans he'll get a little cocky and take Babalu down which would be a bigger mistake then Coutures decision to stand up with Chuck.

Sobral via submission in round 3.
Forrest via T.K.O in round 2.
Neer via decision
Kongo via T.K.O round 1
No idea between Franca and Varner but I'd expect to see a ground war with a lot of attempted submissions.
I just hope they're arent any long boring fights so they can show some of the undercard as well.

Even with that said I don't see Chuck wanting any part of Babalus ground game. He's a smart fighter and will try and keep it on his feet all night and counter punch while looking for that opening.
My heart is with Babalu, but i've doubted Chuck so many times and come up being completely wrong.  | |
