Florian is a great fit at 145. He will overwhelm Nunes.

Prediction: correct Florian   correct Decision  

Nunes is one of the better under the radar featherweights, but this is Kennys time and nothing will stop him, besides maybe a Jose Aldo...

Prediction: correct Florian   wrong Submission   wrong Round 2  

Nunes going to get the decision win here. I don't think the weight cut will help Kenny, he's already a weak LW. Imagine how weak he will be at 145...Plus Nunes is very well rounded.

Prediction: correct Florian   correct Decision  

I really want Nunes to win this fight because I just don't really care for Kenny "Ben Stiller" Florian, but I think that Florian just has more way to win. I'm picking Florian by decision.

I changed my pick, picking with my head rather then heart. I really would like to be wrong on this pick though.

Prediction: correct Florian   wrong Submission   wrong Round 2  

Nunes is mainly a striker I'd say. He throws a lot of spinning back kicks. His TDD looked much improved against Mike Brown in his last fight as he was wrestled to a decision in his only WEC loss to L.C. Davis. He's pretty active on the ground looking for submissions, I don't think Kenny will be able to sub him unless he's rocked.

Prediction: correct Florian   correct Decision  

Kenny's too smart to move down in weight if it's not good for him. I'm sure he'll be fine. I think he's proved himself as one of the best at Lightweight, but he's still not good against wrestlers. I don't know anything about Nunes, but I don't think he's a wrestler. Florian decision, although a finish isn't unlikely.

Prediction: correct Florian   correct Decision  

This is a very tough fight to call. Nunes is a great striker, but Florian is very good too. Kenny is very inconsistent, but his striking has been getting much better, and he's good at mixing takedowns in with his jabs,and I think that will be his key to a win here.

ill be so very crushed if kenny loses but i think he'll mix up the striking well to set up a TD and from there he'll work his way to sinking that RN choke in.

Prediction: correct Florian   correct Decision  

Florian has great jiu-jitsu but I strongly doubt he subs Nunes. Maybe if he really hurts him, but Nunes is pretty good on the ground. I think if Florian implements a jab heavy gameplan like he did to Gomi and Guida, he should win this.

 I wasn't too excited for this fight until I rewatched Florian's fight with Guida. He is a very entertaining guy, as is Nunes. This should be an awesome fight. I hope Florian wins it.
