WEC 44: Aldo vs. Brown Staff Predictions

Jose Aldo vs. Mike Brown

Charles Walker-Tough, tough fight to call, how will Brown deal with the explosiveness of Aldo and how will Aldo deal with the size of Brown.  Something tells me this won't go further than 3rd round in which Brown's size will come in to play and TKO Aldo

Rich Wyatt-Mike Brown by decision

Kelvin Hunt-I've gotta say I've watched like a gazillion highlights of Jose Aldo destroying guys.  He very well may catch Mike Brown shooting in for a take down.  However, I think Brown will crowd Aldo against the cage and possibly take him down from there.  No way he gives him space to get off with the blazing speed that he has.  Once Brown gets him down, can Aldo get back up withe the size advantage that Brown has?  I say no.  Brown via decision.

Leonard Garcia vs. Manny Gamburyan

Charles Walker-Another good, close fight, if it stays standing Garcia definitely could put Gamburyan away however I think Gamburyan will muscle this to the ground and work hard for a decision.

Rich Wyatt-Garcia by TKO in the 2nd

Kelvin Hunt-I can see Garcia winging punches only to be taken down to the ground by Gamburyan and smothered for 3 rounds.  I don't see Garcia subbing him, so I'm go with Gamburyan via decision.

Rob McCullough vs. Karen Darabedyan

Charles Walker-Easily Razor Rob by TKO, probably 2nd round

Rich Wyatt-McCullough by decision

Kelvin Hunt-Tough one to call...I know very litte about Darabedyan.  McCullough seems hesitant and unwilling to go for the kill.  Darabedyan supposedly is well rounded....ehh...I'll go with McCullough via decision.

Danny Castillo vs. Shane Roller

Charles Walker-Another hard one to pick but I think Roller will come away with the victory for some reason, this is a pick 'em in my opinion though, so I'll say Roller by decision

Rich Wyatt-Castillo by submission in the 1st

Kelvin Hunt-I'm going with Castillo via TKO Rd. 2

I like RnP’s picks here.

Really looking forward to Aldo/Brown. What a fight. I got a feeling about Aldo tonight.

Hopefully Garcia TKOs the midget. It’s up to LG to make it exciting. Manny will probably get injured.

Razor should win but I think that Karen person surprises him.

Castillo and his head band are tough but I normally back the Team Takedown guys so I got Roller here too.

it's funny you have brown winning the way couture did

you lost 9k for a parlay on couture? you should learn from past mistakes. lol i think aldo is a bit faster than vera lol.

yes i am obsessive, obnoxious, in your face and all about covering the spread. those are my good qualities.

you misread it or i did not put it right

i was saying that you are picking brown to win how couture did. meaning since you had vera who is much slower than aldo and would imo easily get away from brown’s clinch unlike vera doing vs couture.

yes i am obsessive, obnoxious, in your face and all about covering the spread. those are my good qualities.

This Brown vs. Aldo fight has me really intrigued. Aldo is one of my favoirte fighters to watch and could become a star with a win here. And Brown is an outstanding featherweight fighter that could use this victory to catapult him to a possible attempted run at lightweight. It’s really tough for me to call. I know it’s cliche to say that a fight looks 50/50 on paper but it truly is a tough match to call in this case.
