First thoughts:
• Munoz vs. Mousasi (Dunno. Munoz showed he was back on track in his fight against Tim Boetsch and looked great. I'm not counting his most recent fight against Machida cuz I expected him to lose that fight, as Machida is faster, has better movement, and is a better striker than Munoz. I've said it before and I'll say it again, Mousasi just doesn't impress me. Yeah, the guy has skills but, maybe his style of fighting just doesn't cut it against the current UFC fighters? He's way too hesitant when he fights, and he will automatically be at a disadvantage when he faces a wrestling based fighter in the UFC.)
• Dolloway > Carmont
• Barnatt > Strickland
• Niinimaki > Backstrom
• Alcantara > Lee
• Ogle > Blanco
No idea on the rest of the card. |

Have a small bet $50 on Munoz here. He's +250 and I think that this line should be closer. Mousasi has been pretty disappointing since basically 2009. Munoz in his last few fights has looked really good. After the loss against Weidman he looked like he reinvented himself and shows up in way better shape than before. |

Mousasi is ridiculously boring but he is winning this one by decision i think.Munoz will shoot for the takedown constantly and if he can not finish in the first couple of rounds he will lose.
I think the prelims with so many unpopular fighters will be much better than the main card. |

Shitty card, I mean the last time I was at an German UFC Event was like Wanderlei Silva vs Rich Franklin and Cain Velasquez vs Check Kongo.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UFC_99
Like almost every matchup was with known and good fighters or up and comer. Now its just a pile of shit with a "main event".
Munoz is a great guy but I don't think he can ever get further than top3-5 and is not getting younger.
Mousasi is a great fighter but he always looks bored. He didn't improve that much last 4+ years and its sad to see.
I mean he was doing really good few years ago, very entertaining but nowdays I am not interested in watching him fight. |

heh if it makes you feel any better the overall quality of UFC cards has dropped significantly lately since they started doing like 50 shows a year instead of about 20.
I agree Mousasi' demeanor in the cage is annoying. He always gets praised for being calm but he is far to relaxed and it causes him to be complacent and lose fights. Reminds me of Frank Mir but with a solid chin.
Only thing keeping Mousasi from being an underdog in this fight is the fact that Munoz has a paper chin. The kick Machida knocked him out with looked like it was blocked and barely even touched Munoz. Mousasi should be able to land a decent shot here and finish it. Maybe via hitting a sweep and finishing Munoz with GnP. |

Well King Mo won vs Mousasi because of wrestlefucking him hard. I think Mousasi has better take down defense by now and his ground game is underrated. On paper Mousasi is the better fighter I mean damn look at his stats he is like 34-4 he has fought Hector Lobard, Melvin Manhoef, Ronaldo Souza, Mark Hunt, Sokoudjou, Keith Jardine, Ovince St. Preux, Mike Kyle and so on while (40 fights in total, while losing 2 decisions/2submissions). In the past 8 years he lost a total of 2 fights and only by decisions: 1fight to King Mo and 1 recently vs Machida (who owned Munoz bad). I mean Munoz will be super motivated and stuff but Mousasi is really experienced.
Mousasi had basically only 2 decisions wins up until the UFC (was either KO or submitting EVERYONE) but his last 2 winning fights were decisions and he just didn't look as hungry/precise as before. I dunno what it is ...his stats and his fights a few years back got me really excited but right now he doesn't seem to be the same fighter. I mean he is only 28 years old with 40fights+ and he had a 1 year layoff before the UFC fights.
Maybe he is just finding his way back into it and we could see a revitalized Mousasi, I sure hope so.

Mousasi is frustrating but I kind of liked his fight with Machida... I watched it after the fact that, and slow-mo:ed the interesting parts and sped through the boring ones lol
The interesting parts were really cool tho. |

Funny that Blanco still almost lost that fight. His fight IQ is so fucking terrible. His record is proof of that. |
