Prediction: correct Caceres   wrong Decision  

Caceres has went like 6-0 as a Bantamweight. I think Pettis will be looking to close distance and go for takedowns and land a choke. I think Caceres has improved a lot more than people think.

Caceres by severe hype train derailment. Little Pettis will have his day, but I don't think today will be that day.

Could go any way ... 

Pettis took round 1 easy and dominated round 2 but was dropped and almost finished so you never know how to score that one. Round 3 was Bruce Leeroy's all the way.

Prediction: wrong Pettis   wrong Submission   wrong Round 2  

I agree^

How would you score R2 is the question. Pettis was dropped in the first minute of the round, then proceeded to win the rest of the round. Do you give it to Alex for dropping Pettis or Pettis for winning the vast majority of the R?

EDIT:  Alex looked great though I thought.  He is so much improved and better since he dropped to BW.

Prediction: wrong Pettis   wrong Decision  

@Kalibo: Good point about R2. I personally gave it to Leroy, but I had Pettis winning the first and third up until the sub. He was probably on his way to a Split win. Good on Bruce for stopping it.

Prediction: correct Caceres   wrong Decision  

Round 1 was Sergio, Round 3 was gonna be Alex, and round 2 was a toss-up...so had it gone to the judges, idk. I would've had it 29-28 Caceres, but i bet since his name and hype, it would've been a decision for Sergio. But Alex DGAF and sealed the deal with a comeback and killer sub. 


Maybe Leeroy can give Ben some pointers in the gym next time.
