Ronda said there is nothing predictable about Carmouche. I think that makes it very hard for Ronda to prepare for someone without tendancies. Carmouche was saying she's going to get Rousey past the 1st round because then it turns into anyone's fight. I think if she can accomplish that it could get very interesting.
I picked Rousey but I have a strange feeling that Liz could make even more history then she already has.

Hoping these picks are better than my last UFC picks.

I used to make slightly more elaborate threads, but then I started seeing other good threads pop up days in advance of the fights.
These days I basically just wait and see if there's a thread with a good title already made. You don't want something like "Should Hendo be the main event?" as the thing sitting on top of the forum homepage all night long.
