This is the dark horse for FOTN.

Honestly this fight excites me more than almost any other fight on the card.

I think Dan was picked to lose an exciting fight

So good move by Silva.

His legs however, are less comfortable with this idea.

It's just a world, it's just a life.

Should make doing the Moonwalk a little easier though.

Braver man than me.

unless you have the stand-up firepower of MW’s like Silva or Vitor, Palhares will get you and he is very strong and his ground work is unpredictable and you are going to have a frightening night in the cage.

I think it speaks about Dan when Maia wouldn’t play ground with him but Palhares trains leg locks on statues…. I would be afraid.

Leg locks on statues, wtf?

Seriously?

Miller’s a scrappy guy with a very strong ground game of his own, but I think he’s just going to be physically overpowered by Harris. That seems to be the Miller Bros. kryptonite.

Yes

when he fought Marquardt and his plane arrived at Austin, there were some marble statues at the airport. The brazilian top team manager went to the bathroom and when he came back, Paul had heel hooked 3 of the 5 statues. I wasnt there but Chael told me about it.

I'm wondering if this was his brother's logic as well

I’m also wondering how much worse this will end. Hope he makes it out with all his ligaments.

Jab, jab, towards, short, fierce.

He just doesn't strike me as a straight up killer

Like Palhares is. This could be a really even fight for a while, and then Dan will be tapping.

Head conductor of the Charles Oliveira hype train.

The Palhares-Horn fight gives me hope for Miller.

Palhares couldn’t grab any leglocks on a seasoned grappler like Horn, and even ended up in some precarious positions himself with Horn nearly locking on an arm triangle.

Toquinho’s power won out though and he just muscled Horn around mostly, but I think, like in that fight, he’s going to have difficulty getting Miller to tap.
