Prediction: correct Miocic   correct KO/TKO   wrong Round 3  

with both undefeated fighters it really is going to be a great fight to watch, both have great kickboxing, while miocic has wrestling Del rosario has subs it will be a great fight and expect it to end in the first two rounds.

I think this is too much, too soon for Miocic, but he's certainly got the power to turn anyone's lights out in the HW division.

Miocic got hit a bit too much by De Fries for my liking but I might still pick him

Prediction: wrong Del Rosario   wrong Decision  

Del Rosario's gameplan doesn't really change which is avoid the TD......

That combined with Miocic taking it on short notice makes me think that Del Rosario takes this fight!

I'm not saying that Gonzaga is as good a wrestler as Miocic but Del Rosario is talented enough to keep it on the feet imo

I'm taking Stipe only because he's not coming off a horrible car accident, injury, and a giant layoff in between fights.

Miocic reminds me of a bigger, younger, faster, better version of Mirko Cro-Cop. I hope he wins this one by highlight reel KO. Del Rosario is a tough order for any fighter though.

I don't see how miocic wins this? Shane wins first round via submission.

@delrose, if you think SDR wins by first round submission then why do you have ko/tko? I cant go with Shane that easily because he is coming off of that car accident.

Prediction: wrong Del Rosario   wrong KO/TKO   wrong Round 2  

Man, another top prospect match-up.  This'll be like Davis/Gustafsson, with the winner getting all the attention after the fight and the loser being looked down on.  It won't be until much later that the loser gets the attention he deserves (like Gustafsson).

Anyways, I like SDR here.  Miocic showed some holes in his game against Beltran that del Rosario can take advantage of, as he's been unstoppable since the beginning of his career til now.  Only thing stopping him would be ring rust from that car accident.  :/

Miocic is a beast and SDR has had a long lay off but this is gonna be a close fight. If Shane had been fighting lately I would probably pick him but Miocic has looks like Cro-Cop 2.0.

This could be fight of the night. Both men are undefeated and they are almost identical height wise and reach wise, however Del Rosario has been preparing for the fight longer which is why he is my pick.

This fight is really hard to pick but I think Del Rosario has more ways to win both standing and on the ground..

Too bad these guys are fighting eachother already. Im picking Miocic because i think he can beat Rosario on the feet and if he needs to take him down and grind out a round or two he can do that too
