Carmont is a beast and I see another Submission win for him.

Prediction: correct Carmont   wrong Submission   wrong Round 2  

Carmont has made mistakes against lesser opponents like Vemola and Cedenblad that nearly cost him the fight. Against an experienced wrestler like Lawlor, I don't think he'll be able to make those mistakes and still end up winning.

Prediction: wrong Lawlor   wrong KO/TKO   wrong Round 2  

Lawlor is a good underdog to put a bet on for this one. Carmont is hard to put away, but easy to rock. I have lawlor controlling the pace in this fight, and think he might even pull off the TKO. Carmont is great at surviving, but lawlor is powerful and has a very underrated ground game.

Carmont's submission on Vemola was so technically sick, Vemola had never been subbed... Lawlor won his last fight cause he got a bone thrown to him matched up against MacDonald.

Somehow I don't like Carmont.. I find him arrogant.. so I'll root for Lawlor. On the other side he is pretty good fighter with enormous potential and probably won't give Lawlor a chance... but.. who knows..

@CareLL- I agree on everything, except Lawlor winning. I'm going to be cheering for him because he honestly has the most fun of any fighter in the UFC.

Carmont has been an absolute BEAST in his last couple of fights.  Lawlor's good, but Carmont is going to be way to big for him.
