Who else thinks that Starks, despite his unbeaten record at 185, just might be better off at 170?

And I have a feeling that however many of you think so now, more of you will be thinking that way after this fight.

I can't believe 16% of the people that picked this fight actually are going with Stark! That's entirely to high a number, Short Fuse wins this one with whatever he's feeling at the time!

Prediction: correct Herman   correct Submission   wrong Round 1  

@Loptai okay that would be a decent point in most cases, but Herman is head and shoulders better then Starks in every facet including wrestling. Plus Herman has been on a absolute rampage since returning from injury, turning Creduer's lights completely out in less than a minute, and subbing a very good fighter in Kyle Noke in the first round! I'll be very surprised to see Clifford make it out of the first.

And it's not a good sign for Starks how Dustin Jacoby did on Saturday night.

Jacoby will probably be cut.

Herman shows that Colorado might just be the home of the best MMA in the country with a 1st round sub of Starks!

Herman is a solid MW, should be able to get by Starks who hasn't been that impressive in his career so far.

Prediction: correct Herman   correct Submission   correct Round 2  

I remember doubting Herman was ever going to come back in good shape after the injury I watched him sustain against Aaron Simpson, but I'm impressed as hell by his current streak, especially the fight against Kyle Noke.
