This fight has the chance to be a really good one. Can Brock avoid big hits before getting into the body of JDS. I think if he can get his mits on JDS then he wins BUT I'm not sure if he'll have time. For all the big talking Brock does he really needs to back it up here. You're a fighter, that's all you do so take some damn punches this time without going straight into the fetal position.

Saying all of that, it's really hard to root against a guy like JDS. He's very likeable while Brock is nothing but the bully at school.

I have to believe that Brock is training non stop with his hands. What i find really strange is against Mir and Randy and even Heath Herring he stood with all these guys with no sign of bailing. Now he bails as soon as he sees a glove coming at him. :shrug: Dos Santos is a better banger then all these guys and is most likely the best striker in the heavyweight division. This might be bad for Brock. He is gonna have to show his ballerina days are over but do u show it against this beast? I find no case in the world where i would bet Brock. Only way he wins is if Dos Santos comes in with some undisclosed injury. I hope Dos Santos is practicing his Ju Jitsu cause he has a real shot at a submission here.

Sponge, I'm not Brock fan but I think he has a legit chance in this fight. For one, I don't think the subs are a worry. He learned in his loss to Mir, he'll stay low in the guard and control the lower body and never have any worries. The question is whether or not he can get close to JDS. IMO if he does JDS will be going down. We've seen it over and over again with the elite wrestlers. I think Cain and Carwin were both bad match ups for Brock because of their wrestling ability combined with their striking. If I was Brock I would do nothing but shoot in for the tds at all cost. If he gets tagged by JDS then he's done. He has no chance if he tries to stand at any point, no matter how much he works on his striking.

I hope JDS wins so we can see him vs Cain because I think that could be a 5 round war.(Cain winning IMO)
