UFC 169: Faber vs Barao II Pick 'Em


Deuce7

Recommended Posts

Had to change my pick from Lineker to Bagautinov after seeing Lineker after the weigh ins. He looked like shit after cutting that last pound, time to move to BW or get cut

 

He will continue to make weight. Without being cut.

Not surprised. He better pray that he doesn't lose or that Dana & Joe are willing to let him move up to Bantamweight.

Faber is a plodding wrestler with good chokes, decent stand up and good cardio. BARAO on the other hand has TOP NOTCH reflexes and speed, power, explosiveness, world class striking and knockout power, cat like take down defense and GREAT submission skills (from any postion, not just chokes). I can't see ANYWHERE faber takes this fight quite honestly.

 

Faber hasn't gotten better since they last fought, he's just been fighting shittier opposition NOWHERE NEAR the level of barao. Faber is the roy nelson of the bantamweight/featherweight divisions. Kid WILL NEVER hold a title in the ufc.

 

Only reason barao has went on record to say faber has gotten better was to make this fight SEEM a little more interesting. And MAKE IT LOOK more impressive when he DOMINATES him AGAIN. Which seemed to do a good job and has fooled a lot of idiots. This is the DEFINITION of an easy fight.

Anyone picking faber is an absolute fuckin fool. and none of your picks can be trusted. put simply

Gee, why don't you tell us how you really feel? (Note sarcasm).

 

Apparently I'm a fool and an idiot, because I agree with the couple of others who are picking Faber here.

Faber has some of the best grappling in MMA imo. I can see him tire Barao out by making it a constant scramble and then get his neck eventually (Barao cuts enormous amounts of weight) but most likely Barao is gonna kick the crap out of him.
