Prediction: correct Kingsbury   wrong KO/TKO   wrong Round 1  

Kingsbu shut me up in his last fight. If his stand up is that much improved, he could be a good lhw.

Prediction: correct Kingsbury   correct Decision  

I wasn't really sure who to pick here. Fabio trains with the Nogueira brothers, but since his losses to Tony Lopez and Tom Lawlor, Kingsbury has shown some great improvement, and had some very impressive victories.

If this stays on the feet Maldonado has this. I think Kingsbu will test his TDD and I'm hoping it holds up.

Not really sure of where to pick this fight should be a good one....So I'll choose the guy who knocked James McSweeney out of the UFC!

I think Kingsbury will use his wrestling to hold Maldonado down and get the UD

I'm not sure how good of a wrestler Kingsbury is, but if this fight stays on the feet, Kingsbury is getting lit up. Maldonado is a great boxer.

Prediction: correct Kingsbury   correct Decision  

Tough to call, Maldonado has nasty boxing with exceptional body punches while Kingsbury looks like the love child between growth hormoneized Michael Ironside and pre-hair loss Randy Couture. I favor the latter slightly.

Prediction: wrong Maldonado   wrong KO/TKO   wrong Round 3  

Maldonado is an amazing striker. I'm not sure how good Kingsbury's wrestling is, or if he'll be able to get it to the ground, but Maldonado's great boxing will eventually show. I think at some point he'll finish Kingsbury.

Maldonaldo has good boxing but Kingsbury is a beast and evolving quickly. He'll take it to the mat and pound it out.

I think Kingsbury gasses out in the middle of the 2nd and allows himself to be finished.

Kingsbury will try to trade w/ him ... I betcha... Maldonado is no slouch on the ground... BJJ wise... I think he'll be able to stall position until the 2nd round and gas the Kyle "the fanny pack" Kingsbury out.

Very hard fight to predict. I think Maldonado definitely wins if it stays standing. But I can't pick him against a wrestler when I haven't seen any evidence of his TDD.
