Prediction: correct Lawler   correct KO/TKO   wrong Round 3  

not everyone who uses peds looks like alistair overeem

Cain velasquez just has a different body type he cud be on roiids and its just hard to tell .. I know ppl with his body type they can work out and eat right all they want very hard if not next to improbable to get that 6 pack figure but they are fit nonetheless

Daniel Cormier is another example or Fedor not saying he used it in his recent fights .. but maybe during Pride

or Anderson silva he got caught and is still being a fake sissy denying it to protect his brand

Given the amount of training fighters do, if you're on roids, it's gonna be extremely hard not to wind up ripped as **** when taking something that allows you to train harder, faster, and more.

Prediction: wrong MacDonald   wrong KO/TKO   wrong Round 4  

There's a reason that the majority of guys who have failed the eye test for years (Vitor, Lombard, Reem) were all basically caught. I mean, it's not an absolute given that they're going to get gigantic. Chael willingly makes jokes about the amount of **** in his system during the first Silva fight and he pretty much looked the way he always did. I guess that makes sense seeing as how he was pretty much always on something, but he didn't really look like a typical juicer. I personally find it pointless to speculate on who is or is not on something. Stricter testing and stricter penalties for testing positive will push a lot of guys who were using to get clean hopefully. If we are going to play the speculation game I find it a lot more easy to believe that a guy who went from not really giving a **** and fighting at 185 to becoming the champion at 170 in his 30s would be more likely to cheat than a 25 year old who has looked like a future champion since his UFC debut.

Well, both guys have undoubtedly passed a lot of urine tests as they've both fought a lot for the UFC.

Prediction: correct Lawler   correct KO/TKO   wrong Round 2  

Such a better title fight than Hendricks/Lawler III. Both of these guys can finish this but Robbie definitely has the better chance for a highlight KO and I think that's his best shot. Unlike the Hendricks style match-up where Robbie could outlast Hendricks, I think 5 rounds in this rematch will help Rory as he will likely not gas out. But, Rory has to avoid the big shots and mix up his attacks like against Tarec, he's a solid pick if he can put it all together. With that said, I'm going back and forth on this one, Lawler's gas tank and takedown defense has gotten so much better over the years and I think Rory has some weaknesses Robbie can exploit.

I believe Macdonald will come out with a great strategy with the help of his coaching staff and pick Lawler apart in a calculated performance.

I see a very close fight like the first one, but Lawler will have two extra rounds to get it done.

MacDonald does not like to get hit, at least that's what I've learned from his fights. Lawler will hit him, I like MacDonald but do not like his safe style of fighting. Hopefully Lawler pressures him and breaks him.

I think Rory's improvements on the feet will lure him away from his wrestling, which is the item from his toolbelt he's going to need to win against Lawler.

Prediction: correct Lawler   correct KO/TKO   correct Round 5  

I agree that McDonald's next move should be 185. And I think he can get to another UFC title  at 185 rather than work for another shot at 170. Unless there is gonna be a third Lawler bout in the next year.  I'm not even a big Rory fan, but I'd like to add him to the 185 division... . His frame can carry it and he would be stronger..... 

I got creamed on my UFC 189 picks this week, but watching Lawler stop McDonald just as I predicted sort of eases the ego.
