Jon Fitch vs. Palhares at wsof 16

Rousimar (AKA God) Toquinho Palhares is savagely going to retire Jon.

Bank on it.
 
The only area fitch might have advantage is in offensive wrestling, which basically doesnt help him at all here
 
Fitch is going to find a way to bore the title away.
 
Palhares wins imo. I hope he makes Fitch scream
 
Hoping to see Palhares by heal hook
 
Sick fight, Fitch may be skilled enough to avoid the leg locks.

Imo tho palhares will bull rush a past his prime Fitch for a first round leg lock
 
I wish Dana wouldn't have told Askren to go to WSOF.. Because then Ben might have gone and ran a train on Fitch and Shields.. Palhares would be an interesting match for Ben.
 
Why the hell is this not until DECEMBER 27???????

This should happen way sooner.

Jon needed more time to get his surgeon free for the post fight press conference.
 
Hope Mr. Fitch is practicing his leg lock escapes. Hope he wins.
 
People forgot how easily Belcher beat him on the ground, I wouldn't be surprised if Fitch did the same.

Belcher was quite aggressive on the ground, quickly countering Rousimar's leg lock attempts and smashing Rousimar with heavy ground and pound. While we all assume Fitch will do his homework like Belcher and be well prepared to counter leg lock attempts, I doubt he will put the kind of pressure on Rousimar like Belcher did with strikes on the ground.
 
I think Fitch survives the 1st then finishes a gassed out Palhares in the 3rd via TKO
 
If we're going just by skills and athleticism, palhares is far superior. But there are other factors such as Palhares' mental lapses. Dude does some stupid shit. I still think it's more than enough to be a shot Jon Fitch
