Posted 6/21/07 4:27:00PM Drwal should have a decent height advantage here....but Palhares just forces the fight to the ground. Im thinking either Palhares by submission or Drwal by tko. They both have a win over lucio linhares. |

Posted 9/22/08 2:18:00AM Pretty bad style matchup for Drwal, I'm not sure how good his ground game is...from what I've seen from him, he's primarily a striker. I think Palhares takes a leg home w/ him in this one. |

I'm quite the opposite. Palhares is lost on the feet, and Drwal is a pretty big middlweight. I think he should be able to keep it on the feet for long enough to knock Rousimar's block off. |

Posted 1/15/07 6:05:00PM Should be a great fight. I like both of these guys. Classic striker-grappler match up. |

Posted 12/5/07 12:38:00PM Yeah, I like this matchup, too. Should be a fun finish however it ends. Drwal has looked scary in his last few fights. Provided he can defend the takedown, it's his fight to lose imo. |
