King Mo is coming on tomorrow if anyone has any questions for him.

I'd like to hear his take on Davis vs McGreary, who he thinks will win and who he'd rather fight if he got to pick (doesn't have to be because he thinks one's an easier opponent, could just be because he doesn't like one of 'em or thinks beating one of them would be bigger for his career).

I think he wins a rematch with Rockhold and makes for the worst match-up with Weidman. Romero's my wildcard, I'm not sure how good that dude can be.
Why does he beat Rockhold? I agree he's the worst matchup for Weidman but I think Rockhold is the worst matchup for Jacare :heh:

Romero is interesting

Basically comes down to the fact that in the first fight Jacare hurt Rockhold repeatedly and punished him by countering kicks in a way I don't think any opponent has since. I don't have a problem with cats who disagree, it was a hell of a fight but I just think Souza has only become a more powerful puncher since then which doesn't bode well for the types of punches Rockhold took in that first match-up. I also think Jacare slowed down pretty quickly the first time around but after the Mousasi performance, I think his stamina can hold up much better.
