wow, I won't miss it at all! Mark Hunt is going to be a fight, gypsy is going to detonate Edson, he's going to humiliate, I'm just a bit doubtful.
I think it's Alistair.
It may be that they are surprised at wanting to exchange with the gypsy, what I have doubts about is how the gypsy will escape the falls and believe me, he will be knocked down, I don't have faith in his ground as I do in the minotauro, demiam toquinho, etc... it's going to be a super fight, he has Frank Mir also wins because he would like to see Mir's blood on the gypsy's gloves, it would be the creature avenging the defeats of his creator, his master, his great friend, minotaur
Cigano won't be taken down... He's simply the most difficult guy to take to the ground in the history of the UFC... nobody trusts him on the ground, because nobody ever actually takes him to the ground... and a guy who's a Minotauro student won't know anything about fighting on the ground ? ateh it seems… The fight between Cigano and Overeem won't be much different than the fight in Jones and Rampage or the pride GP semi in 2005 between Shogun and Overeem….
