CAN’T WAIT FOR THIS!!! Extremely tough fight to call but I’m going with my gut and sayin’ Babalu drags him down and beats him via elbows or choke late in the fight…jeez. Gamblers? What are the lines?

I saw Babalu @ +130.

I still think Gegard looks a little undersized at LHW and with Babalu’s wrestling I would have to agree with your perdiction Mac. Seems like the best fight of the card now.

Mousasi all the way. Babalu is getting clipped.

Hey with all the Barnett news flyin around I forgot about this fight; I was thinking about not buying the PPV after Josh dropped out of the fight, but this is a good scrap, well worth the $$$ even if the main event doesn’t come through.

Mousasi will win….this guy is on a whole different level than Babalu

mousasi…babalu looked less than stellar against southworth before the cut won him the match.

by JB on Jul 23, 2009 10:31 AM EDT reply actions   0 recs

I really think he took that fight very lightly, I mean, it’s Booby. This is a real test I am confident he will come in well prepared for.

by BNF on Jul 23, 2009 10:38 AM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

mousasi is gonna handle babalu pretty easy i think. striking is more technical and heavier and he’s suprisingly strong on the ground physically. mousasi by ud.
