    I think Overeem will win the rematch without the ball shots.

    JZ Calvancante vs Hansen will be a really great fight to see though.. yow

    Cro Cop will win. :)

    He should have stayed at UFC.

    CC is one of the reasons I started watchin MMA, its very hard for me to watch him having a tough time now. I hope he wins, but he wasn't doing too well against Overeem before the money shot in the groin.

    Mirko needs to gracefully retire. That PRIDE tournament, where he was undeniably spectacular, was his last hurrah.

    Funny you mention that. CC has stated that if he lost that tournament he, that would have been it for him and fighting.

    I gotta wonder how he went from looking so spectacular to really mediocre so fast... I think it's a mental thing/desire on his part.

    It is a bit amazing. I think it is 100% mental, and I think it is irreversible. I expect him to lose to Alistair like he was losing to Alistair the first time.

    He needs a change of training scenery IMO and to work with some new guys to get properly motivated.

    A lot of it is mental, but some of it is physical. He had a smashed nose, and so he couldn't breathe very well out of his nose. He also just had elbow surgery recently, and will have knee surgery next year. But I do strongly agree he needs to leave his camp and go somewhere else. Sort of like with Chuck.
