Im anxious to see who all picks Carwin and who picks Dos Santos. I would bet everyone will pick KO as a method of victory. Someone will get knocked out tom, I don't know who, but that fight is going to remain standing. I'll get my picks in tom.

Inside MMA had a poll about how people thought the fight would go. It was something like 46% picked Dos Santos by TKO/KO, 43% picked Carwin by TKO/KO and the rest was spread out between decisions and submissions.

Prelims start in 5 minutes.

In other news, all main events will be 5 rounds regardless starting this August.

Within the past year, there have been quite a few fights ending in draws, and main-event fights leaving fans unsatisfied.
The UFC has finally done something to help fix this problem.

Dana White has said that all main-event fights that are not title fights will now be five rounds. How does this help? It gives judges more rounds to score, and the chances of there being a draw in three-round fights is higher. But the most significant purpose of the addition of the two extra rounds is to give the main events a chance to be more definitive and to extend an exciting fight for the fans.

Of course there is always the possibility that some main-event fights will now be two extra rounds of slow-paced action, but it does set the stage for fighters to clearly show that they won the fight.

The way this can set a stage for the fighters is that, if a fighter is losing, he will very much realize this if he has gone four of the five rounds being taken down or out-pointed. The fighter will know this much better after four rounds than two. This should tell the fighter that this last round is when they need to push for a finish if they want to win.

Also, with more rounds, you may find those fighters that start to dwindle into the “championship rounds." This creates an opportunity for the opponent to capitalize and get a finish, since the gassed fighter is not defending himself, has slowed down or is just feeling the wear and tear.

This new modification will take place immediately, with the exception of Rashad Evans vs. Phil Davis at UFC 133, and Dan Hardy vs. Chris Lytle at UFC on Versus 5.

We are not off to a collectively good start gentlemen. Looks like Minnesota is the only one to pick a winner so far :lol:

 
Carwin looked at out it before Santos took it too him in the first. Wasn't aggressive at all and took the punches. Damn looks like I'll be rooting for Sanots when he fights Velasquez.
