look TS, all kidding aside. do you remember the Overeem/Lesnar bout? before the bout, roughly 90% of fans *knew* exactly who would win and how - about 45% thought Brock and about 45% thought Overeem.
they didn't *think*, they fucking KNEW. and half of em were wrong.
that was just the most extreme example of what happens in prior to most fights.
just look at the boards. many posters are positive that Jones has no chance. just like you're positive Cormier has no chance.
one of these groups is most likely wrong. maybe (some of us hope) both of you are wrong, and neither destroys the other, and the 3rd day into the new year we have a solid FOTY contender.
that you don't see this flabbergasts me. because i know you've fallen victim to this before (as i said in my last post). so the real question is, why wouldn't have have learned already?
enjoy the fight. and don't just enjoy being right (if you are), just like you wouldn't hate a really fucking good fight just because you were wrong.
