I put jones hendo as most likely because hendo is a huge underdog but has the 1 punch ko power.

Sonnen silva is silvas to win any way he wants. Sonnens only chance is to grind out a decision, very unlikely without 16:1 t/e ratio.

GSP condit is sadly GSP all the way. Condit will probably fight defensively like he did against Diaz and get wrestle raped.

Aldo all the way.

Where's faber Cruz?

Jds should beat Mir fairly easily but Mir could pull off the sub. Honestly this is probably most likely but jones needs a h-bomb so damn bad :twisted:

Faber/Cruz was too late to add. It will reset the poll count if I add it now. I figured FW and up would suffice plus I don't think Faber over Cruz would be a huge upset albeit unlikely.

Condit imo... GSP coming off a huge layoff, Carlos has reach advantage, good footwork and movement, and he's ok on the ground

oh and Edgar over Bendo wouldn't be such a big surprise, i don't think he can beat him, but most people wouldn't be shocked if he does

I think that atleast 2 of those choice are not even physically possible.

If you think that's an advantage maybe you should visit some Jon jones threads. Apparently reach has no effect on the outcome of a fight. Regardless of 1 inch or 12.

a foot of reach advantage makes a huge difference

Edgar over Bendo. Edgar was beating him up until the upkick landed.

And it's not listed, but I'm gonna pick Faber over Cruz too.

Sonnen getting the title over Silva would be the most talked about topic for years to come.
Obviously Sonnen would NEVER stop talking about it, Silva would have to hang his head for the rest of his retirement(Which is good, cuz the cocky jerk needs to be humbled) and then we can sit back and watch the Sonnen reign last until Hector Lombard viciously KO Sonnen.

But it wouldnt matter if Hector did, or any other challenger. Sonnen will BRAG BRAG BRAG til his dying day about how he got revenge for that pussy arm triangle he got locked in, and manage to put away one of the most talented strikers the world has seen...

War Sonnen!

XD
