Prediction: wrong Diaz   wrong KO/TKO   wrong Round 3  

I'm really, really, REALLY looking forward to this one. Stun Gun has been flying way below the radar but he dismantled a good fighter in Amir Sadollah and he's still undefeated. There should be some excellent grappling on display.

Prediction: correct Kim   correct Decision  

Nate Diaz is an entirely different fighter than Sodallah. Diaz is far more dangerous on the ground especially in the guard. Diaz is also very hard to hurt and Kim has been decisioning a lot lately.

Prediction: wrong Diaz   wrong KO/TKO   wrong Round 3  

agreed @bigj, and i think diaz takes it, but i think there could be some exciting sequences, some flips and reversals on the ground and some nice sub attempts by both guys.  i think diaz's cardio and increased strength will be what ices it for him.

Prediction: correct Kim   wrong  

Kim way underrated and I think Nate Diaz is a little overrated.

Prediction: correct Kim   correct Decision  

Another very intriguing match up that i feel could go either way but i believe the stun guns kickboxing pedigree and judo skills will be enough to carry him to a decision victory despite the ever improving game of nate diaz.

FOTN. I think DHK's size, strength, and control will be the deciding factor.

Tough fight to call. Diaz is impressive with strikes and subs, but Kim is a tough opponent.

Prediction: correct Kim   correct Decision  

After Stun Gun totally had his way with Amir, he made me a believer.  Not that Amir is the bench mark for a great fighter or not, but Kim seems to be able to translate his Judo pretty well in the Octogon.  And If Diaz past has shown anything, its that a grappler who can control him on the ground (Stevenson, Guida), then they can beat him.

Prediction: wrong Diaz   wrong Submission   wrong Round 2  

i see diaz attacking early with the jab and frustrating the physically stronger Kim. Kim will eventually get the fight to the ground only to be stuck in Diaz's guard and eventally tapped via triangle in the second.
