Prediction: wrong Carwin   wrong KO/TKO   wrong Round 1  

I am so up in the air about this fight. You would be a complete idiot to bet on this fight. However I see this fight going one of two ways. One being Carwin uses his strength and pins Dos Santos up against the cage and pummels him Frank Mir style, or Dos Santos using his speed and range and stays away from Carwin's big shots and pulls out a UD or a late KO/TKO in the 3rd rd. This fight has me hyped, which will probably mean it will be a boring 3 round decision but I sure hope that it isn't. So many questions about Carwin's cardio, how will he react after a loss? Also Dos Santos's chin has not been really tested yet, we will see how that develops. This has FOTY potential.

I wouldn't be shocked to see Carwin get the KO here, but I don't think it will happen. Dos Santos is faster, has better striking, is healthier, younger, has better cardio, and is more agile. Carwin has the power advantage but I don't think he gets to use it.

Ive had my eyes on JDS since he uppercut werdum into oblivion. I'd be very surprised if carwin manages to grind JDS or even catch him. In fact I'd be very surprised to see anything else than a KO by JDS.

Prediction: wrong Carwin   wrong KO/TKO   wrong Round 1  

Late first round finish.  Dos santos will land a little bit because of his speed and technique, carwin will land 1 for every 3 but he will hurt dos santos more with each of his strikes.  I think tentative first minute, followed by a couple hits and then someone sleeping.  I think carwin will take this but neither would be a surprise.

Well, what can I say I calls em like I sees em. I respect how nice you all are but I cannot forsake common sense= hence my thoughts on Carwin. I did find it funny, however, that a few of you seemed somehow offended that I voiced my opinions about Carwin and his supplementation, yet none of you seemed to agree with me. Is this because Carwin is so popular? I suspect its more of an issue of people not doing their homework on said issues. Of all my friends we all know he did it as well as others who have been brought up or suspended. I could list them, how much time do we have? Point being, some of you don't give a ****, ignorant of the issue, or too damn P.C.   Should I make a thread concerning this issue or is all of this talk taboo? Should I show the Gustapo my ID, or can we speak freely of our opinions without some bleeding heart crying "fighter bashing!"

"Grrr."
