Prediction: correct Tibau   correct Submission   wrong Round 1  

I'm taking Tibau in this fight because I don't know that much about Oliveira, but I'm sure after this event either I'll get to know him really well, or I'll never hear of him again.

Prediction: correct Tibau   wrong Decision  

I'm hoping for another clinic on throws like Tibau did to Josh Neer and taking an easy UD

Prediction: correct Tibau   wrong Decision  

Against anything but top competition, Tibau will toss his opponent around to win a decision.

@mino he could do the same to some of the top 10 but wouldnt be anywhere near as consistent about it.

Prediction: correct Tibau   correct Submission   wrong Round 1  

Tibau has all the physical tools to be a top contender in the UFC LW division. It just seems like something is missing in his overall fight game.

Prediction: correct Tibau   wrong Decision  

I like Tibau a lot, but I think Barboza would make short work of him. He's good in the clinch, and could probably shut Tibau down there. Also, his striking is elite, Tibau's is average. I think Barboza would light him up, that's a very favorable match up for Edson in my opinion.

Prediction: correct Tibau   wrong KO/TKO   wrong Round 3  

I hope Tibau makes weight. He's a huge 155. I think he catches Rafaello in the 3rd round.

People who compare this guy to Sherk.. he dwarfs Sherk.

Prediction: correct Tibau   wrong Decision  

Tibau will simply be too much for Oliveira. That Split D against Pellegrino shouldve been a clear UD. Anyway, Tibau with ease (i hope i wont eat my words afterwards;)
