Shane O' Mac Version 2 Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 Just watched JOE vs James Thomson and Herman vs Michal Kita, both guys are very slick on the ground for heavyweights, fairly quick and athletic. Of course the 5 year absence of JOE is a huge factor, but assuming he's been training hard (and you'd think he would have considering he was meant to fight Carwin), this could be a good heavyweight fight. It is all a bit curious though, was Einemo brought in originally as cannon fodder for Carwin, or do the top brass consider him a legitimate threat due to his BJJ skills?

Paid Members Egg Shen Posted June 10, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted June 10, 2011 quick note on Aaron Rosa, unbelievable that he's weighing 261, not so long ago he was a 205'er. The guy's packed on weight (and not good weight either), so it's wild that he's getting a shot whilst probably being in the worst shape of his fighting life. Having said that, he still moves pretty good and he can strike so i see him and Beltran being fireworks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magnum Milano Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 quick note on Aaron Rosa, unbelievable that he's weighing 261, not so long ago he was a 205'er.

Having said that, he still moves pretty good and he can strike so i see him and Beltran being fireworks. I was shocked when I watched his fight against Abe Wagner from the Titan Fighting Championship card and saw what poor physical shape the guy was in. A vast change from how I remember him on those old ShoXC events, when he didn't seen to have an ounce of excess weight on him. Â Re: Florian, when watching Dana's second video blog and Kenny was in his suit, I was thinking to myself how thin facially he was looking.

Paid Members Egg Shen Posted June 10, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted June 10, 2011 yeh they mentioned on the Titan broadcast that Rosa was juggling fighting with working full time so he'd let himself go physically. Hopefully the UFC run will allow him to get back into shape. Great place to start cause Beltran's a small heavyweight too, but Rosa is by no means a heavyweight fighter. Â Abe Wagner must be kicking himself, if he'd beaten Rosa he'd no doubt be in his spot on this card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
METAL ON METAL Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 After the weigh-ins I just want to see a Nunes win, simply due to the fact he wore a Canucks jersey and KenFlo wore a Bruins Jersey. Â Yes, being a hockey fan makes you this petty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members GlennCullen Posted June 11, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted June 11, 2011 Ken-Flo is looking shredded! He's my favourite fighter so Im hoping he performs well at 145. This card has a lot to offer hardcore fans if not casuals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Checkmate Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 I wonder if Kenny has lost much strength or power from this weight cut Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RancidPunx Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 Yeah i kinda like Kenny but Nunes looks quite impressive at least from the countdown. Â I would have to pick Kenny but only just. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shane O' Mac Version 2 Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 I always watch past fights of every fighter on a card in preparation for an event, but I couldn't find a single Diego Nunes fight anywhere. Shame, he did look fairly good on the Countdown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hbk4life Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 My picks for tonight are: JDS, Florian, Maia, Einemo and Cerrone. The only one I feel pretty confident with is Maia. The other 4 i'm really unsure, especially the Einemo and Cerrone fights. I've only seen one of Einemos fights and I've never seen Rocha so i'm not sure how those two fights will end up going. I'm looking forward to seeing all 5 fights, so i'm not disappointed with the card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
