I'm not sure I will be satisfied if Gunnar wins because of his endurance or if Thatch wins because of his size and power.
Great fight though.

Probably a different story in Vegas, especially now that he's been in the deep water.

Gunni's grappling leagues and bounds above both Bendo's and Thatch's.
@skelli, theoretically the elevation was supposed to affect Bendo more than Thatch since he's the one who's actually from Colorado and trains there. I think Thatch's conditioning has to do with his suspicious(?) muscle gain (his growth between fights is almost on Overeem-level) and how his body's responding to that. I'll give him the fact that it's completely opposite to his portrayed personality (then again same with Ortega) and that he hasn't been in too many longer fights and didn't know how to manage his energy properly, but I have my suspicions about Thatch (which I hate because I'm a huge fan).

I agree that this fight did get way harder for Gunni, I just don't think that what happened to Gunni and Thatch in their respective last fights is too much of an indication as to what we'll see here ...

Thatch could win a decision; possibly a tko and Nelson could latch onto a sub later on.
I'm a Nelson fan too but not sure who to pick
