Prediction: correct Miocic   correct KO/TKO   wrong Round 3  

I have an underlying feeling Miocic finds a way to win this.

Anyone else feel like how Cain looked in his last fight is pretty much how Moicic always looks?  He pretty much just a water down Cain. This does not seem good for Moicic.


Moicic I think can win, i don't favor him, but I believe if he keeps it striking he could potential upset. However if he tries to do his Cain impression like he done his last few fights (excluding Arloski), I think this ends very badly for him.

I don't think Miocic has ever gassed after one round and I think his striking is overall better. Still doubt he can handle Werdum though.

I was a bit meh on this fight, but seeing them face-off at the presser really had me sizing up the match-up, and I like it all around. Great style clash, especially with Werdum's impressive striking as of late.

Prediction: wrong Werdum   wrong Decision  

Good to see with Cain injured again they decided to stick with their replacement fighter this time even after Werdum cancelled.

Prediction: correct Miocic   wrong Decision  

Close fight. Can Miocic survive the clinch? We'll see. Give me the underdog. Unlike his reach advantage and gas tank. Werdum was on point in the Cain fight though

Stipe always seemed really stiff to me. I think Werdum has this by what he wants.

Toss up. Werdum has looked brilliant lately but also had probs with better strikers.
