Dammit I keep getting fooled by these classic fights because I mute the stream and go to another tab... and when I return I see Baker and then Makovsky.

Yeah Fresno, another old fight, here we go with the Bastress/Gracie fight, I picked Gracie Sub 2, but I'm not very confident.

I got Gracie by decision, don't know either fighters though, besides what I researched on them :/

So I'm not too confident either.  And if Makovsky doesn't get the 2nd round sub I might cry, after seeing that old fight and getting all excited for nothing lol.

Keith Peterson is a great ref (see Curran/Sandro) but he seems a little small for 185's. No offense though

Bastress looks like a larger version of Denis Kang.
