I'm going for Okami on the basis that he's one of the best grapplers for his division.

Prediction: correct Souza   wrong Submission   wrong Round 2  

I picked Jaccare but I think you guys are right about Okami being the should be favourite. Jacare always improving though so in my opinion this is anyones fight. I'm a little worried about my pick though

There is a lot of hype behind Jacare, but i think Okami has right set of tools to negate and beat Jacare via a fairly boring decision.

Picking Okami, cheering for Jacare!

Prediction: wrong Okami   wrong Decision  

I think Jacare will be a title contender soon, but  Okami is the toughest test he could've possibly been handed. He won't be able to capitalize on his biggest (and almost only) strenght which is his grappling/bjj as Okami has enough skills to neutralize it, especially standing up and in the clinch. I see Okami picking apart Jacare little by little with punches and some strikes to eventually wall n stall a decision from him.

God, I hope I'm wrong.

Okami looked scared to death... did  he even throw more than 5 strikes?  Sorry @Ben...

Prediction: correct Souza   correct KO/TKO   wrong Round 2  

Okami is usually timid. This should be no surprise. He's either laying on someone or throwing half punches and circling. I can't forget Okami had a single leg on Anderson and he just stood there with it staring at Anderson waiting to be punched. It's like Okami forgets he's in a fight.

Souza looked amazing last night and did what i had hoped he was going to do, i just didn't have the balls to pick him. I thought he'd get Okami'd..... Lots of people said Okami looked much bigger at weigh in's, but Souza proved he's a master of cutting weight, he looked like a ******* LHW last night and much bigger than Okami.

I also thought he looked very fast and crisp with his striking, i'm looking forward to seeing him fight again, the guy gets better every time.

Okami's chin holds up really well , hes fought some damn heavy hitters and has only been stopped by strikes.

Yeah, I was gonna say that the only other UFC guys to knock Okami out are Silva and Boetsch. Jacare has quite a bit of power there.

Getting TKO'd isn't really getting knocked out.
