Prediction: wrong Cook   wrong KO/TKO   wrong Round 1  

TJ Cook is 12 - 3
Trevor Smith is 8 - 1

Two good records!  But does this tell the whole story?  I analyzed each fighter's opponent's records.  Did one of the two fighters above beat a stud or a white belt?  I'll present the data and you be the judge.  First, I'll tell you what I did and how I came up with the figures.  I took each opponent's record and added the total wins and losses, before they fought Smith or Cook and their current record as of today.  However, I was unable to find any information on one of Trevor Smith's opponents; Wes Swafford.  He wasn't listed on any well-known mma site.  If someone knows his record and can validate it, let me know.  Another thing to note, TJ Cook has had 4 title fights and still currently holds two of them.  Yes I am a TJ Cook fan, but look at the stats.  TJ has fought tougher opponents with more impressive records than Trevor Smith has.  You be the judge......

                                                          CURRENT                       PRIOR TO FIGHT
 Total Opponent's Record:        Avg. W:L       Total W:L       Avg. W:L       Total W:L                  
 
TJ COOK                                    6.13-3.73           92-56           4.33-2.13           65-32
trevor smith                                 6.00-5.63           48-45            5.63-3.5            45-28           

And to anyone that has voted for Trevor Smith, it's not too late to change your mind.  I won't hold it against you.  Albert Einstein said 'those that don't change their minds, don't think'.........

On a scale from 1-10, how much did you like Prob/Stat in high school? :)

Prediction: correct Smith   correct Submission   correct Round 1  

Would TJ consider adding the nickname "Cookie" ... if so I might have no choice but to pick him

LOL @ Xbassisit..... I mean, maybe a 2.  But that was high school!  My priorities and like/dislikes have changed since!  

Mr. Gregory..... We'll have to ask him.  There was a point and time where Cookie Monster was in the dialogue but it never really stuck.  TJ Cook seems to work well for him.

Hahaha because I'm a senior right now, so I'm taking Prob/Stat, and looking at the table made me think about how I did on my test! haha

Not a bad class though :) And I am picking Cook!

@bassist... Nice!!!  Hope you did good!  It's good knowledge to have and useful with just about every situation.  You made a good choice!  Smith's opponents career wins:losses are 1:1    TJ's opponents career wins:losses are 2:1  Out of 50-100 fights, that's not marginal.  

@livetowrestle.... No sweat!  I admire you having admiration for me!  But I still think you should switch and I'm not asking you to do it right now.  You have a little time to make a better decision.  And to be honest, I have faith in you man.  Just do it.  Come on.  It'll be fun!!

Thanks!

The way that you're presenting this information, it's almost impossible for me not to pick Cook.

@bassist.. You're going places buddy!!!!!!!!!! 

@thiagosilva..... What fan??  I never said it could predict an outcome.  However, it certainly offers little insight on the history of the fighters and the probability of Cook victory.

If you get TJ to sign up and be an active poster here, I'll have to pick him.

I don't think that would be in TJ's best interest.  But I can't speak for him.  I don't even know if he sees these posts or not.

@Soccer ...  You pinned it buddy!  I'm TELLING you, the only reason I'm hyping TJ up so much, is because I've seen first-hand many, many times TJ knock people out, I mean out!  He's never backed down, never fear in his eye NOT ONCE, EVER!!  He might have got caught a few times but he can not be 'beat up'.  No one can dominate him.  He will get his!
