i know im in the minority but i really think burkman can grind out a decision. he is the better wrestler and is physically stronger. i think burkman can withstand any punishment swick throws at him and will be able to grind out a decision by putting swick on his back.



I was thinking this too.I think Burkmans key to victory is to slow the pace of the fight and pick apart Swick.I think that's his best bet on a victory.

I know you should never count out a fighter but i really cant give Burkman much chance to win

Swick is just so damn quick (yep the nickname dont lie!) and dynamic, Burkman gasses badly so i see a decision win as 100% impossible, his only chance is to land a punch of the button which is unlikely so id say NateDawg picking and wagering on Josh isnt the smartest move IMO bud

Will be a great fight tho and i give credit to Josh for being able to take some so im not picking a quick KO but in the 2nd prolly

i thought his nickname was quick because he finished fights quick, not because he was so quick. he really isnt much quicker than any other professional fighter.

It sounds like Swick never use to cut weight to make 185. I wonder how cutting weight for the first time and then fighting will impact him.
