Predictions: 12 of 13 Winners, 4 Perfect, 785 Points | Tied for 84th
I didn't see one of these already (at least on one that's linked to the event), so I'll kick it off myself.
Here's the Primetime:
What I get from this is that Cain's basically sparring on a daily basis with Daniel Cormier while JDS is beating on tiny-ass no-names and trying to simulate Cain's MMA wrestling with an Olympic wrestler who can't throw a punch to save his life...
Also, banking on the fact that he finished Cain in a minute and Cain couldn't finish him in 5 rounds sounds to me like false justification in order to gain confidence ... I don't blame him for doing it, because after the beating he took last time you need to convince yourself somehow that it's even worth it for you to get in there with him again, but I'm not buying it.
Velasquez. TKO3. You heard it here first.
