I think Johnson is going to pull off the upset.. i think Vitor is better and i think vitor is gna do well... but for some reason i think ant is going to KO Vitor but who knows
Actually a lot of people have been picking Johnson to win via KO or UD.
I myself am going for a Anthony Johnson KO in the first.
is rumble winning really an upset?
only way he is beating belfort is by wrestling to a decision. he is slower than belfort and everyone keeps going on about his size, what a beast he is, how he is going to win etc etc. > short memories cos he couldn"t beat kos could he. size is not everything.
Im with you. Johnson is going to be a beast at MW. Not sure how much of an "upset" it would be, but I am also going with Rumble.
I thought Vitor was ****y , but Johnson is worst.
I hope that Johnson will try to do the front kick on Vitor's face like Akiyama did .
He will probably fail (because he isnt anderson silva) ,then Vitor will get Pissed Off seriously, and go nuts on Anthony johnson and punch him so fast to knock Him out . :D (just like in the Akiyama's fight)
i said vitor way too many times in that paragraph
Anthony Johnson is a freaking beast .. how did that guy ever make 170 !
I think he wil destroy Vitor .. maybe second round TKO/KO !
Too bad he's got no personality.
I don't think AJ can finish Vitor, unless he really pushes a pace that breaks him.
Side note how the **** did this guy fight at 170 he looks way bigger than Rashad...dudes a freak of nature!
You know what...I like this guy and sometimes think Vitor is too full of shit (and of himself). Would not mind to see Rumble winning this one...
