Prediction: wrong Pettis   wrong Decision  

So pumped for this one. 

Nice striking technique and underrated grappling all around. Neither is going to be able to smother the other one as well.

Damn, just noticed if Caceres didn't have all the low blows against Figueroa and the failed drug test he'd be 6-0 at 135. Not sure who i'll pick here though, sweet matchup.

Awesome fight, two really flashy bantamweights with a tricky ground game.  I like it, but I think Pettis subs Caceres, although I want Caceres to win

I'm really glad they added this fight to a somewhat underwhelming card. Bruce Leeroy is always exciting. I'm going to Chicago for Fox 10, I have pretty good seats for this event, can't wait.

In future maybe, but not yet. Pettis almost lost to Campuzano, who comes on short notice.  Wineland is  former title challenger, so we got wht we got, but I still not understand why UFC decide to do this

I think Bruce Leeroy is underrated in a bad way (and has the misleading record to show for it) ... dude got very good, very fast ... I actually think he might win this easily (easily? yeah, I know, just a hunch), but for now I'm buying into the Pettis hype for my pick (because it took me while to get on board with his brother) ... but don't be surprised if Caceres not only wins, but dominates.

It's a tough one. You can't let hype make a decision for you. At some point Pettis will lose and it won't be a big deal as he's only 20 years old. It might actually be good for him to help him grow. Caceres has won 3 spilt decisions in a row which doesn't exactly fill me with confidence. I'm going back and forth on this one but I think it's worth a small play on Caceres as the underdog

Prediction: wrong Pettis   wrong Decision  

Also. Caceres is also arguably on a 6 fight win streak and hasn't lost at 135 (if you count the 2 points deduction vs. Figueroa and the Kang fight), that's something in the UFC, expecially if you take into consideration that his learning curve has been exponential.

I don't think I've made my final decision on this one.

I would like to pick Caceres hes one of my favorite fighters, I think he has more talent at this point in their career's. But Alex has stated numerous times hes already thinking about retirement soon ect. I don't think his heart/mind is in it and you can kind of tell by the way he fights. Pettis will be a hard win if you're not there 100% mentally.

I can't tell if the UFC is feeding Bruce Leroy to the wolves or just unsure of Sergio's skills.

Nah, good solid matchup, no wolf chow here, imo. I wouldn't consider Sergio a wolf at 135 just yet.

When did Leeroy speak of retirement? He seems hungry to me, that's strange.
