I changed my pick because Nedkov didn't look so good in the weigh-ins.

Prediction: wrong Cané   wrong KO/TKO   wrong Round 1  

Cane is gonna crush Nedkov in the 1st, maybe he'll drop down a weight class after this.

Prediction: wrong Cané   wrong KO/TKO   wrong Round 3  

Hardest pick on the card for me. After a lot of thinking, I've decided the proven striker will beat the unproven wrestler. We'll see.

I'm more confident with Cane now then I was, hopefully he can break him down early and finish him in the 2nd.

Prediction: wrong Cané   wrong KO/TKO   wrong Round 1  

he does have some credentials, but im still not all that impressed with nedkov. i try not to pick fighters in their debut, and having that first fight in brazil doesnt really help. cane by quick destruction.

Both of these gents have finishing power, but I see a decision.

Prediction: wrong Cané   wrong KO/TKO   wrong Round 2  

Im not overly impressed with Cane, his skillset should however suffice to neutralize Nedkov and get the TKO. The only thing i'm worried about is that Banha has never faced a strong wrestler before and that Nedkov might expose a hole in Banha's game. I doubt it however, especially taking Nedkov's tit for tat fight against a mediocre Randleman and his overall level of competition into account.

Prediction: wrong Cané   wrong KO/TKO   wrong Round 2  

Cane is a dangerous striker who was out-struck by more technical fighters in his last two outings. Nedkov won't be able to do the same.

Plus Nedkov is right handed. Cane can't handle southpaws.

Prediction: wrong Cané   wrong KO/TKO   wrong Round 1  

I was going back and forth on this fight until the Weigh-Ins, Nedkov looked fat and really uninterested while Cane came in shredded and looked a full weight class bigger than his opponent. With his height/reach advantage, he should be able to avoid the clinch/takedowns and pick Nedkov apart.
