What a bunch of crap. Barboza is getting 3 consecutive fights in Brazil. The pandering to the Brazilians is ridiculous. Guess I'll be picking Barboza by decision, because even if he loses the fight, the judges will still give him the win.

EDIT: Nevermind. Didn't see that it was actually in 146. That's better. Now I don't know who I'll pick.

its an interesting fight, i think dunham's the better grappler and he's a lot bigger so i got him by decision...but i think if it were a 5rd fight those nasty leg kicks would be more damaging

@megadave, I don't think the jab & jog will work against someone with as viscous leg kicks as Barboza has. If Edson can stop the take down, he'll easily outstrike Dunham. But, thats a big "if".

Megadave, when has Dunham ever jab and jogged anyone? More importantly, why do you think that will work on a striker as elite as Barboza?

plus barboza is bigger than dunham. i saw somewhere, where someone said that. he is an 1 inch taller but i heard he fights at 170-175 pounds (barboza). i like dunham but he is not fast enough to beat barboza.

@wolf i said dunham's bigger than barboza, and i believe he is. i wasn't referring to height tho, i think barboza is a slimmer than dunham. i don't know which one is taller, and i really don't take anything i read for certain when it comes to height lol remember when shane carwin was 6'5 until he fought lesnar and lesnar was like an inch taller than him even tho he's 6'3

Huge step up in class for Dunham, from Lentz (who is a gamer) to Barboza! Hope it's not another 2 big a jump to soon for Evan, I really like him. Of course I really like Barboza as well, don't know who I'll be rooting for in this one, although I'm pretty sure I know who I'm picking...

Dunham is a fighter @MegaDave, I've never seen him strike and runaway against anyone. Not even when Guillard handed him his ass, so why do you think he tries this now? Especially seeing as how Dunham is a grappler, I see him trying to get the TD for most of the fight. Problem with that is, Barboza thus far has shown exceptional TDD, this is definitely gonna be a intriguing fight!

Dunham's faced top guys b4, but Barbozas never faced anyone in the top 30, so @rorschach, I'd worry about the jump in comp for Edson a lot more.

Edson's shown solid wrestling so far but he's never faced a good grappler so far. I think Dunham does enough on the ground to get the Ud.

Barboza may have not fought top rated competition but Njokuani, Pearson & Etim are no pushovers, and Dunham hasn't exactly been outstanding against that top 30 competition you spoke of (which I feel Edson is in now) going 1-2 with his only win against a undersized and declining Tyson Griffin. I think Barboza is the monster in this fight, but that's just my opinion.

@fglop that's weird because I thought Terry Etim was always known for being a very good grappler and submission finisher.
