Josh could get lucky he hits hard if he gets to the clinch he has pretty much won, dagistyle don't work against football tackles.
If he looks 2 weight classes bigger at weigh in which he probably will I may change my pick, to Roman way to long to starch Riberio who is obviously a glass cannon at best.

@UFC_1 
Is Reed a better striker than Godinez? Maybe. I just think that Reed makes good enough use of angles, footwork and kicks that she could confuse and outpoint Godinez who has a more planted stance and is sometimes hesitant to throw. If this fight stay standing --and Godinez has shown a disinclination to use her wrestling for some weird reason-- I think Reed has at least a 50% chance of winning. If Loopy wrestles though, then the odds are completely justified because Reed has negative TDD. I will say though, if Reed comes into this fight with randomly improved TDD, easily stuffs every takedown, and whoops Loopy in front of a probably majority Mexican crowd, I'll laugh my ass off

Fremd is huge and decently durable; he could probably wear on Kopylov in the clinch, but I don't see anything special about his takedowns except for the size behind them. I have a lot of $$ on Kopylov by finish, but I could see why someone might pick Fremd. The UFC lies so much about heights though, I think Kopylov is  6'3" and Fremd is like 6'4"

Is anyone else surprised that Shevchenko isn't a bigger favorite?  I hope it's as close as the line suggests.

My working theory is that the awards have something to do with UFC pick percentage.  They aren't in discussion threads for other promotions.  And they aren't in non-event threads, like Miscellaneous.
