A reminder to what not checking Aldo's leg kicks can do to you.

People forget that a caught leg kick is still a landed leg kick.

Frankie is going to catch a knee to the face in round 3 when he goes to grab a leg at half speed.

I doubt it. Aldo's fight against Hominick was an anomaly IMO. Im not saying he has super cardio, I just think that performance was not indicative of his overall ability. Edgar is a great all-around fighter, and does have a real chance of winning tonight, but Aldo counter striking is a good recipe for fighting Edgar and his spastic pace. You know Frankie is going to move move move so Aldo shouldnt chase him around. If he stands his ground and forces Edgar into a striking match its not going to end well for him. Also, Edgar has had issues with getting blasted early in fights. If he lets Aldo strike him for minutes at a time (when he is at full strength and stamina) its going to be good night Irene.

edit: And Overeem wins big tonight. If Cain stopped Silva the way he did, Overeem is going to fucking obliterate him. Silva better just try and take him down and smother, because he has absolutely no fucking chance striking with a K-1 grand prix heavyweight champion.
I agree with you for the most part, but I think you're underestimating Frankie's ability to strike on the outside and you are overestimating Aldo's cardio. I think Also is going to tko him in the second/third though.

As for Overeem, there's a reason he's like -400. Silva could smother him, but it's likely Overeem will just nail him in his giant fucking head over and over again.

I switched my pick to Maia at the last second.

I feel sick to my stomach and its not even prelims yet. The match ups on this card are as good as it gets.

Dropped the guy once, take him down. Only one landing shots, take him down.

This. After spending the last 30 seconds or so of the 2nd round defending all the submissions Kimura was throwing off his back, lets try to take him down some more.

Edit: WOW, Kim Winslow proving she is still the worst ref ever with that standup, what garbage.

Wow, I hope she never refs again. That was fucking ridiculous.

And that looks to be an 0-4 start for me /sigh

FUCK YES BOBBY GREEN, fuck Volkmann in his ass and Winslow for the worst stand up I've seen in a long time.

On that note, I am 0/4 for the night, but I am damn happy about it after that one.

Man, the size difference on these 2 is crazy. Looking at this really makes me think they should possibly re-think the weight divisions. I will add my thoughts on that later.
