I switched to Struve/Gomi/Kang/&***uda late.  I'll never regret that.....right?

I SHOULD change to DHK, but I'm too damn stubborn.

Sanchez/Gomi was a tought fight to pick.  Sanchez is clearly the better fighter, more well rounded.  BUT, I picked Gomi for a few reasons;

Sanchez missed weight, he says an injury during camp forced him to cut over 50lbs only to still miss weight, potential jet lag for Sanchez, homefield advantage for Gomi, Gomi will likely be faster on the feet than Sanchez, and Sanchez forgets that he is a wrestler and insists on brawling every fight.

My problem with UFC's is picking guys I want to win over guys i think will win. I need to stop that. I wanted to pick Siyar so bad but had to resist . I think not picking Guimares is going to bite me in the ass . I hated his last fight so bad I had to pick against him.
