Grand. Now that the weigh-ins are done, lets get this party startedddd! Garcia by TKO.

I doubt it. Garcia is too wild with his punches, and Brown is way underrated. All around, Brown is the much better fighter.

Well, he may be wild with his punches, but as time has proven, he can afford the shot that he may take to the chin. AKA, he can eat Brown’s shot alll day and if one of his powerful “wild” punches lands a couple time, Browns going lights out.
Besides, I usually never vote against Camp Jackson.

Brown UD. Garcia can’t wrestle and his JJ is overrated.

I agree. I go UFC number one, WEC number two. It has great fights. I’m going to be at this event with floor seats, having the time of my life. War Garcia, gotta pull for the texas boy.

NameNotRequired, have you seen Garcia’s JJ cause I don’t think I recall ever seeing any JJ Garcia has used except for a small display of it with Huerta.

Allen “Monsta” berube was taking it to him on the ground and shrugged off his subs like nothing. Cole miller supposedly made him look bad too. Huerta was also shutting him down. He’s ok from the top and at the taking the back but his bottom game leaves much to be desired. With this- Brown has the most # of extremely high level black belts than any camp in the US at his disposal in ATT.

I dont know about anyone else, but i ready for Brown to beat Garcia so we can all see Brown-Faber 2!!!!!

by belfort_fan on Feb 28, 2009 5:29 PM EST reply actions

garcia may be good and may be big but brown is much more patient and will win with experience and composure with a tko either way the winner gets beat up by faber

i don’t care how brown wins, just so long as he shuts that crackhead up.

by kitsunex on Feb 28, 2009 7:44 PM EST reply actions

does anyone really care about this fight? honestly

by ja434650 on Feb 28, 2009 8:19 PM EST reply actions

Yea. Its free. If you dont care, then your a pointless MMA fan.

by BrutalKnockout. on Feb 28, 2009 8:46 PM EST up reply actions

Why wouldn’t we care? This is #1 FW v. #7ishFW in the world. Garcia is super flabouyant, fights with 100% emotion, and has nice punching power. Brown’s methodical, experienced, and technical. I’m kinda surprised that the odds are as close as they are. I think some of it might be cause he fights out of Jackson’s camp. All of the fights tommorow r gonna kick ass. I like Aldo, Bart, and M.Brown as a parlay. Throw in a lil Hendricks???
