I agree with Franca but not O’Brien, it is probably because a lot of people don’t know who Velasquez is.

Velasquez wins easily.. O’briens only weapon is his wrestling and Cain is a better wrestler to go along with his striking and submissions.

BTW.. I posted a fanshot of Cain’s UFC win but it got deleted. was it because it was a UFC fight and you could face issues with Zuffa? if true I won’t in the future.

Franca maybe. His cardio is suspect though.

I agree with The Legend. Most people probably don’t know Velasquez.

Nah Id have to say Jake Obrien is better than people think. He’s a good wrestler and he trains with pro boxers. Hopefully he comes in in shape and pics up a win.

Velazquez is gonna walk through O’Brien IMO.

Waiting for the odds to come out for the Velasquez – O’brien fight.

Apparently

Joke O’Brien and Cain wrestled against each other in college. Cain won.

Cain is really unknown by casual fans. I’m a little surprised about Hermes getting more votes, though. Edgar has been involved with several exciting matches in the last 18 months, and he emerged the winner in all but one of them. I guess you could say the same about Hermes, and his only loss since ‘05 was to Sherk, then champion.

I guess it’s not surprising, but I think Cain is going to steamroll Jake O’Brien.

Neither result surprises me because Velasquez is completely unknown by most fans and I’m picking Franca to beat Edgar anyway.
