Rockhold/Belfort is the one I was most unsure about.  Sure enough, I've picked every other winner correctly.

This will be a good fight.

I doubt it would even go the ground and Jacare is much better on the feet.

I like everything about RVCA except their sponsorship of Vitor Belfort.

Close odds show that nobody should be too overconfident about their pick here.

But Rockhold is my guy... I think he's a slightly more modern era MMA fighter training with a sick camp, and he'll have a size advantage.

Can't deny Vitor's experience and hometown advantages, though.

Praying to the MMA gods that Rockhold beats the **** out of Belfort, even if Belfort's entrance music is in my opinion, top 5 best ever.
