Predictions: 5 of 12 Winners, 1 Perfect, 330 Points   |   Tied for 1338th

Skelli flagged this earlier, but I think it deserves its own post.

Not sure how the rematch goes. The first fight was close until Weidman threw that ridiculous axe kick which opened the door for him to get mounted. Both have had some bad knockouts.

Bit of a coin flip really. Both are very evenly matched.

I picked Rockhold in the first fight and I was dead on with the pick. However, with both of them having some bad knockout losses as of late, its going to be harder for me to pick this one. Stylistically I think Rockhold has more of a chance but I think Weidman is going to go in for that chin and make him pay. I'm going to give it to Weidman this time around, I'm sure him and his team are focusing on that.
