The worst thing that can happen to K1 Werdum is to become Gonzaga and to just rely on his striking now.

I want to see Cain Velasquez put Werdum's lights out. I just hate his face. I loved seeing JDS shock the world when he KO'd the punk.

Mir vs. Werdum would be great. I will take Mir over Werdum any day.

I want to see Condit win but I think Diaz is going to grind it out

I don't see this one going to decision.  Got Nick by TKO in the 3rd, but I could see either fighter ending it before it hits a decision.

If this fight is half as good as we all think it's gonna be then this event has been one of the best ever imo

Condit looks ready to fight from the cage to the hospital. Which may actually happen.
