Prediction: correct Assunção wrong Submission wrong Round 1

I like Assuncao because he has had much more experience fighting higher ranked fighters he lost to most of them but the experience does count.

Assuncao's got more experience and has fought some of the best fighters in his weight class i think he wins pretty easy

Assuncao is a big BW(one who dwarfs Faber-who many consider to be a big BW). One that has already made the cut to 135. He will ride that out superior conditioning en route to a UD.

Prediction: wrong Tamura wrong KO/TKO wrong Round 1

@all

Tibau was a huge LW with far greater experience in his fight. Other things to consider: Tamura comes from that Krazy Bee camp with the likes of Boku and Horiguchi, probably the best thing JMMA has going. Also, Tamura is cutting down from FW so even though he'll be smaller it won't be that extreme.

It should be a good battle but I'm sticking with Tamura.

I like Assuncao here by decision. Tough guy who's really only lost to top notch fighters.

I see Raphael controlling from top position for 3 rounds.

Zhang stood right in front of that with his hands down and no head movement. He was asking for it.
