Blackzilians maybe the most over rated camp there ever has been. Sign Bob Sapp & Cheick Kongo & the sink the whole gym to the bottom of the ocean & I would be a happy fan.

That's why I'm asking homme, it's gotten to the point that I just pick against the Blackzilian.

if nothing else to go on when picking the fight I'll go for that, but really come to think of it might need to make it a top reason even when I think I know what's going on.

Well yeah, it's not my top criteria, but I don't know either of these guys very well.  I've seen Burrell fight once, and never seen Villefort I don't think, so finding out one of them was a Blackzilian would probably tip the scale for me in this case.

Ha, the way I said that made it sound like we were outing Blackzilians like they were witches or Communists.

Villefort is one of the most hyped prospects ever, dude is insanely talented but has been fighting injuries and layoffs

Prediction: wrong Villefort   wrong Submission   wrong Round 2  

2 young guys with a good future ahead of them. Burrell is fairly well rounded, but I think Villefort is much more dangerous everywhere this fight can go. I don't think Villefort will finish, but I do think he will put on a clinic for 15 minutes.

Prediction: wrong Villefort   wrong Submission   wrong Round 1  

Very hard fight to pick. I've been thorn on this one since it's been announced. Both men are taking this on short notice, under 2 weeks if I believe correctly. They were slated to fight in Strikeforce before the event got cancelled. Villefort says he has studied tape on him and is happy the fight is taking place. He's also very motivated and one of the youngest fighters on the roster right now. Villefort seems to me like a ground specialist. Burrell on the other hand has only been training 3 years which is probably not enough for him to have UFC caliber ground game. I'm leaning with Villefort by submission, but if the fight goes the distance I believer Burrell gets the nod. I have to give aggression, wrestling and the standup to Burrell. Not confident in my pick but going with my gut. Let's see if any of these guys misses weight also, can be a factor.

Villefort is gonna pound him out... Burrell looked so sloppy against Spang... Just think Villefort has the ability to finish anywhere in this fight and is more aggressive.

Burrell is too ****y in that picture even after missing weight.... ****y as$ dudes have been getting ko'd lately.... i.e. King Mo, Overeem. I hope Villefort breaks one off or sends him to dream in wonderland.
