Prediction: correct Romero   correct Decision  

Crazy how old these dudes are. Changing to Romero based on that Machida performance and the fact that Jacare's level of competition hasn't been stellar in recent years.

Wow, all but one of Jacare's last five opponents are current/former UFC wash-outs.

After Okami lost to Jacare, he got bounced to WSOF.

I hope this fight actually happens. I am thinking Is Jacare can avoid the heavy strikes and move the fight to the ground he can control it and maybe get the Sub.

Jacare is a smart fighter and Romero has some pretty big holes in his game but you can never rule out one of those shots from Hell wiping Jacare out at any moment. It's always so tense and inevitably heart breaking watching a fighter you like fight Romero.

Tempted to take the king of 3rd round finishes in the third but I think Souza will get him down.

Prediction: wrong Souza   wrong Decision  

I'm surprised the pick percentages are so spread (70-30 Souza right now), I see this fight as just as much of a toss up as the two title fights. I am in agreement with the majority though, I think Jacare can win if he keeps up constant pressure. Wish this was a 5 round fight.
