Prediction: wrong Sass wrong Decision

Wiman is no slouch opponent, but The way Sass overcame Volkman in his last fight and on top of that he has a 6 inch reach advantage as well but Wiman has never been submitted so I am thinking Sass for a Decison victory.

Prediction: correct Wiman wrong Decision

I think Sass has finally run into someone good enough at BJJ to not get subbed, and well rounded enough to make Sass pay for only having one trick. Wiman by decision, or a late TKO.

This might end up being one of those fights where the guy defending submissions but retaining top control gets the SD victory.

I can't believe how many guys he has triangled... wondering when people will get wise to what he is doing and avoid his guard.

After seeing Sass' record, I think he might be able to beat Sonnen. But I'll take Wiman for absolutely no reason at all.

The Sassangle is scary.You know its coming but nothing can be done.If Sass wins here I will consider him a legit LW and would like to see him get a step up in competition.That being said this is far from a lock.Wiman could very well pull out a decision.

At some point or another Wiman will try and take the fight to the ground, only to get subbed.

Prediction: correct Wiman wrong Decision

I'm surprised Wiman isn't getting a little more love here. I see Wiman as much better than anyone else Sass has fought. His BJJ is solid, he has well rounded skills, a lot of experience, and some power in his hands. If Sass can sub him like everyone else, I'll be very impressed.

I've got to pick Wiman though. Too often hyped prospects, especially those who are one trick ponies, get exposed as not really being THAT good when they step up in competition.

I agree with you Alias. I've been burnt by many a hyped prospects in the past. If Wiman keeps some distance standing I think he can TKO Sass.

Wiman is solid, and is Sass' biggest test. But honestly Sass is so aggressive and WILL pull guard...I see this going how his other fights have gone. Won't be surprised if Wiman wins though...

Prediction: correct Wiman wrong Decision

Sass is nasty on the ground, but I just don't see him being able to simply pull guard and slap on submission just like that with a guy like Wiman. I think if he pulls guard, Wiman will be able to avoid the subs and land some groundNpound.

Like I said before though....If Sass really is THAT good that he outclasses Wiman, I will jump on the Paul Sass bandwagon with two feet.

I think the odds are better that we find out what kind of chin Sass has than that either fighter wins.
