Prediction: correct Halsey   correct Submission   correct Round 1  

I think Halsey can get it done, but Shlemenko could finish him with dem body shots.

Prediction: correct Halsey   wrong Decision  

Shlemenko has trouble with capable grapplers. Tito, Lombard, and the recent bout with Cooper. Tough fight to call. Halsey looks to be improving by leaps and bounds every time we see him.

I think we're going to have a new middleweight champ who isn't severely undersized for his weight class.

Prediction: correct Halsey   wrong Decision  

I noticed that Shlemenko does this weird sounding grunt after every lunging punch he throws. I didn't realize it until the Doug Marsahll fight.

Prediction: wrong Shlemenko   wrong KO/TKO   wrong Round 3  

Halsey is a popular underdog pick; the All-American wrestler is built like like a superhero and has dominant ground game but I'm too unsure of his chin and endurance; if Halsey lets Shlemenko stand too long he'll eventually wilt to his aggression

Torn on this fight. I'm picking Shlemenko, but Halsey is the type of fighter that can give him fits. So I won't be shocked at all if he wins. Shlemenko is a welterweight who is too stubborn to acknowledge it.

I was watching the main event with the Russian commentary. The Russians' reaction was priceless.

Including dead ones? Because I've heard he's fluent in Latin, Yiddish, Aramaic and Northern Klingon ...
