Pretty decent card for a free fight on Versus tonight, can't wait for next week though. Bets, info, and thoughts all welcome.
Laid some down on the dogs:
- Walel Watson [primarily a submission guy, new to UFC along with his opponent Sandoval. I think Watson's skill level of previous opponents is slightly higher than Sandoval's and should control the fight on the ground]
- Paul Sass [young Brit w/ 11-0 record, 10 by submission (including 8 triangle chokes), although Johnson appears to be the stronger wrestler in this fight, he has glaring weaknesses in his sub defense when his takedowns aren't working for him]
- Charlie Brennemen [Good chance Rumble Johnson wins this fight but if Charlie can keep his distance from Johnson's striking and take him in deep water, he might pull out a decision once again.]
Got Cruz [will probably go to decision] in a parlay with Wiman [I feel that Wiman's hands will the deciding factor here] and Pat Barry, hoping that he doesn't get flash KO'ed by Stefan Struve (although he's no Kongo).
