It's amazing how quickly Cowboy Oliveira became unlikable.

Prediction: Oliveira  |  KO/TKO  |  Round 3

Not unlikeable at all for me. What did he do? "Disrespect" Brooks post-fight. Brooks was an ass to him pre-fight. I get it, Cowboy missed weight, but who cares. I like fighting. I couldn't care less that one guy KO'd the other and taunted him. Boo hoo, move on.

I think the disparity in picking percentage reflects people's personal feelings in this close match (great matchmaking).

However I think people are entertained when there's beef between fighters pre-fight. But once the final bell rings or the fight is stopped, most think that should be it. No reason to be carrying on like a ******, especially if you drastically missed weight.

I don't see how Brooks was an ass, he was mad that Oliveira missed weight by 7 ******* pounds. Guys have said much worse to each other before a fight but Oliveira gets pissy over being called out on missing weight by a ridiculous amount and taunts an obviously injured guy after his win.

@Legz @Griffy Means is undefeated against Brazilians though!

Prediction: Means  |  Decision

I'm not a fan of the way Oliveira acted after the Brooks fight, especially after missing weight by so much. 

BUT I'm not going to let that make me hate him. I really liked Brazilian Cowboy before the fight, and I still do like him. Like MikeyG said, he throws down often and is relatively fun to watch. 

He made one mistake...everyone makes mistakes. I'm going to give him a pass for that last fight. He seems like an okay dude otherwise. 

All that said...war Dirty Bird!

Means hit hard and Oliveira really act like an ashole...

Missing the weight by something like 6 pounds? being to big to be taked down and keeped down, Win because of that, and Taunt his oponennt?


Hope Means Knock him out and taunt him right after!

Alex Oliveira has been on a role and he looks like he will stay on that role. Means is a tough dude, but I see Oliveira outpointing Means and maybe even finishing him late.

Oliveira is a live dog but I think Means is a far better striker and KO's him stiff.
