Wish there were more HWY fights in the UFC.

Prediction: correct Rosholt   wrong Submission   wrong Round 1  

In his last RFA fight Copeland looked good- just not showing up to fight seems like. He loses this one, just depends on how bad.

Rosholt lays on Copeland like he's paper, Copeland maybe gets rocked once or twice, and then Copeland gets cut. 

Also, no hablas lituano.

Now I have that first loss anxiety. Does Rosholt bounce back or does he get slept again.

I wouldn't be so sure.Rosholt is known to strike a good bit and likes to stand.He went through a lot of shoulder issues and a hand that broke a few times and was fully broken when he fought Tua which forced the pure wrestling gameplan.At least this is according to him of course.He came out last fight throwing heat with bad intentions which was the first fight he says his shoulder and hand were finally 100%.Does he wrestle now because he's scared of getting ko'd again,possibly.Does he almost purely wrestle in this fight because it's the smarter way to win,I really don't think so.

Rosholt has been known to strike a lot and is generally very exciting imo because no matter where he is he never stops working and I think that's rare for hw's.His story of injuries that kept him from a more stand up gameplan imo checks out.He was never shy about striking before the ufc and had a striking battle with an almost pure striker in Walt Harris to begin his UFC career and continued to exchange after getting dropped and hurt bad really not looking to wrestle at all until Walt was tired and easy pickings in the 3rd iirc.Then wrestled Omianenochekolio and Soa with the injuries and back to striking in his last fight.I'm not a big Rosholt fan but I think he's an exciting fighter and I don't think he get's enough credit for constantly working even on the ground.I don't really have a point except I don't view him as just a wrestler or expect 15 minutes of hugging when he fights.Who am I to say though,I think almost everyone's exciting and every card is stacked lol.

I hate to see Copeland lose. He seems like such a nice guy.
