I've got Tito, by boring lay and pray. Just kidding. I think Babalu will give him a good fight, but Tito will just be to strong and good at keeping him on his back and win a decision.

Should be a good fight. I like mixed martial arts matches in general because of the sheer skill level it takes to compete at a competition level. These are not guys you would want to meet in a dark alley or have mad at you.

I'd be more scared of a hard hitting boxer than an mma guy. If you can survive a 30 second flurry of an mma fighter, you can win. Boxers have extreme conditioning and the chances of you surviving a 30 second barrage of punches doesn't matter because he can keep fighting.

Anyhow, you're right. I like the different skill sets shown in mma matches. Knees are fun to watch and they open up nice cuts. It's just tough to bet on this sometimes because a grappler can take so much punishment and then win the fight by sub. You just never know.

You present a very good point. grapplers train to take damage and its like a soilder going up against a tank. An extreme example would be a skinny teen martial artist going up against a plump sumo wrestler.
