Hikikomori Member Since: 11/23/11 Posts: 1043	Danny Castillo vs. Paul Sass -- So much at stake in this fight. can Sass bounce back? he wont have to worry about taking the fight to the ground cuz Danny will put him on his back. Will Sass attempt to stand with Danny? Wow! I cant wait for this fight. You have ignored this user.

Bisping KOd by CHRIST Member Since: 1/13/13 Posts: 293	Although gunnar may be the better grappler than jorge is, hes 10x the striker! So i see him koing him. Id like to see gunnar vs wonderboy. Theyre pretty even on the feet imo. You have ignored this user.

mata_leao 9 Member Since: 2/3/09 Posts: 1390	Wow, great match up! I thought Edwards would be an easy fight for Gunnar, Jorge is a big step up in competition. Jorge hasn't had the best of luck in the UFC, but when he's on, he's an amazing fighter. Looking forward! You have ignored this user.
