Prediction: wrong Oliveira   wrong Submission   wrong Round 2  

I disagree. I not talking about simply the body shot I talking the entire fight. Cerrone was just man handling him from the start due to superior size. And I guess will just have to agree to disagree. I feel confident Cub Swanson won't be able to replicate what cerrone did due to lack of size. Not that cub can't beat Oliveria but I dont believe it will look anything like his fight with cerrone.

I think Cerrone is better and I can't wait until they throw down so he can prove it.

Prediction: correct Swanson   correct KO/TKO   wrong Round 2  

Tough fight for Cub. Both fighters have had a sort of career resurgence lately and I've enjoyed watching Cub get back on track. I'm rooting for Cub big time here, but Oliveira has the skills to be a dangerous opponent for anyone in the division. The last times Oliveira was truely tested (vs Miller and Cerrone) he was fininshed both times so it'll be interesting to see how he does against a skilled featherweight veteran in Swanson.

And as I said I'm rooting for Swanson so I'm picking him

Prediction: wrong Oliveira   wrong Submission   wrong Round 2  

Cerrone ... Diaz ... dudes, this fight is against Cub Swanson, and though he's a good striker, he's no Cerrone, no Diaz and definitely doesn't have that big of an advantage over Oliveira because of the height/reach advantage and because Oliveira is not a bad striker himself.

This fight will eventually go to the ground (hopefully in the 2nd round, daddy needs his 100 points) where Swanson is outmatched, outclassed and has no chance whatsoever (on the other hand, that what I said about Palhares vs. Belcher, duuuuh).

I love Swanson's heart, but I've been doing way too much picking by "heart". Oliveira has mad skills and is so quick with those subs. His only losses have been to bigger opponents.

BTW, I don't believe for a minute that Oliveira's 6'1.
