Which makes me thing that we will get to see two fights. PREDICTION: I’m still guessing that Jesse is the finalist that gets the boot for breaking the limo window because Jeremy May calls him a Jew again or something just trying to get under his skin. I expect CB to win against Amir in the best fight of the season. Then they will have to have another fight to determine who will take Jesses place in the finale to fight CB. Amir has to fight Tim for a spot in the finale against CB. Final Prediction: I’m sticking with what I’ve said since the first two episodes aired, no need to change now. CB vs Tim.

Marquadt only submitted guby cause he beat him up a little first. Lister wont be able to soften him up, so it will end up just being a grappling stalemate. I see Hazlett submitting Burkman in highlight fashion, that is why I want to see that fight. and I dont know about you, but besides the Frankie Edgar fight, Fisher has always had entertaining performances.

Good stuff! I missed your post about CB outwrestling Jesse, which worried me. Now it doesnt look like Jesse will be fighting CB in the finals anyway. Thanks for the intel on Matt brown as well. I had no idea. He didnt to that bad fighting at middleweight. He will probably be Nasty at welterweight. I too would love to see the original fight between Aroyo vs. Brown! Good stuff Mike!

I know a lot of people are going for Hazelett on this fight as well, but Burkman's solid, i see him as a gatekeeper. and i see this as a really tough fight for both of them. horn's sick, and i wanna see him back up there again, but i just don't see it happening. i really don't like lister. he's boring as hell, he's gone to desision more times then burkman, and the only decent guy i know of the lister beat was Sakara, and he's not a ground guy at all. idk fisher has some crazy stand up. and being that Stephens likes to stand i think it’s gonna be a sick fight.

And you are right, there might not be any punches thrown, but I think that's part of what makes this a good match. Both are exceptional grapplers with a LOT of experience. I expect a submission/fight of the night. (Dean Lister by guillotine in round one) I agree that Hazelett is solid talent, but Josh Burkman is a can who lacks the ability to finish fights decisively and back up any of his trash talk. That alone merits the fight not worthy of a main card. Even still, though, I think this fight at least has a lot more going for it than the Spencer Fisher one.

BUt while CB Dalloway was attending Arizona State University he was an all american wrestler. He actually wrestled this freak of nature known as Jesse Taylor TWO times in college. CB came out victorious on both occasions. Oh yeah, John, I posted this a week or two ago, but didn’t see you respond at all, cuz I put in an older thread.
