Picking against Shish Khabib again, only because Tibau's bigger than some welterweights.

It's hard to go against a guy so young with such an awesome record, but I think Tibau will be way too much for him.

With a name I cannot pronounce with 15 consanants and an undefeated record at 23 years old I have gotta choose that guy!

Tibau will ground Nurmagomedov no doubt. Tibau via decision is always a safe pick.

Prediction: correct Nurmagomedov   correct Decision  

I just see this as a fight that the UFC wanted to introduce an undefeated prospect against someone who is beatable by that prospect. Nurmagomedov is unknown to many, but if you youtube him you will find out he is no joke. Tibau's size will play as a huge factor, and I could easily see this being a split decision either way.

Prediction: correct Nurmagomedov   correct Decision  

This is a good match up. Tibau can win due to his strength and size. However, people forget that Nurmagomedov is not only a Sambo Russian National Champ but a Sambo World Champ as well. He's also a 2012 NAGA World Champ.

Khabib's win over Shalorus was more impressive than when Jim Miller or Dos Anjos beat him. Mainly because Shalorus is an olympic wrestler and a freestyle wrestling world champion...and for those who didn't see it, Khabib took him down at will. His sambo was far superior to what Shalorus brought to the table in that department.

This fight is going to rule and both these guys are going to put each other to the test.

Prediction: correct Nurmagomedov   wrong Submission   wrong Round 1  

Khabib is a real deal prospect, he will tap out Tibau. Tibau will be tired from cutting from 220 down to 155. Joke.

I want Shish Khabib to win but goddamn, Tibau is way too beastly to allow that to happen. Tibau's the best Brazilian wrestler out there.
