Is going to be a close fight but Lombard's striking will win it.

Prediction: correct Okami   correct Decision  

So apparently Lombard is afraid of this fight not being exciting and him getting his walking papers. Probably not the best mindset to have 2 days before a fight.

If you mean why do I think that's not the best mindset, just a personal opinion. Who knows? Could be a motivating factor, but seems like putting extra pressure/stress on yourself prior to a fight wouldn't be beneficial.

@Cthulhu  I agree that´s  not the best mindset I was just wondering what make you think he had that mindset.

I read the article and I didn´t got that he was worried just that wanted to put on a good fight,  at least that´s what I hope ha ha, but I see what you mean

Lombard should worry about this being a boring fight. If Okami has his way he's just going to lean on Lombard up against the cage for 3 rounds. I think Lombard will be too strong though and he won't allow that.

It's really surprising to me that Lombard is this much of a favorite amongst the Tapology community.
His hype is truly shocking.

i'm with @justyn on this one... i honestly can't understand why tapology community is on Lombard nuts all over again. he looked terrible against Boetsch, and Okami has always been extremely consistent (with the exception of the obvious fluke KO to Boetsch, where he was dominating his opponent like he always do). yeah, i guess you're right Phan, asian brother can't get no love.

The reason why I think Lombard can win is because he is a judo expert, and won't be outgrappled easily by Okami. He has the power to land,and he doesnt need a lot to put someone out.

It's all down to the grappling I think

Prediction: wrong Lombard   wrong KO/TKO   wrong Round 2  

With my original picks I was surprised to notice that aside from the main event I picked all the underdogs. After a few revisions I changed some of them, but I kept Okami. Lombard has a lot of power, yes, but his striking... well, isn't superb and he doesn't do flurries unless he already has the opponent in trouble and if Okami fights smart (not necessarily "exciting") and uses his length and mass (funnily enough, at the weigh-ins Lombard was a pound heavier) he can take it.

Although Okami is about the only Japanese fighter that I think fares worse in Japan than in America.

If you can't see that Lombard is a nightmare match-up for Okami. well then i don't know what to say.

I had Okami by Dec then changed it after Chael Said Lombard had good TDD on the weigh in show. So if Okami wins im going to be pissed at Chael lol .

As obnoxious as Chael can be, he's a great judge of talent and skill. Very objective too. There's a reason he's a Fuel anchor and was chosen as a TUF coach.

Yeah, Lombard's TDD is unflappable and Okami has been put out by punches a few times. Hector makes his first real mark on the MW division tonight.
