He might be training for it, but that doesn't mean he'll be able to stop it....If he gets sloppy shooting for a takedown, he will be in big danger of getting caught.....Hicks has more power on the feet, and he will run through varner, if varner is stupid anuff to keep it standing.
If you've only seen hicks fights in the WEC, you haven't seen nothing yet, he has amazing sweeps, and if varner trys to take it to the ground, he could get his head caught, or he could get sweeped and end up on his back.
Hicks will almost always be at a reach disadvantage, look at his last fight againt 9mm, did it look like much of a disavantage to you??...
Varner is in more danger of getting stopped on the feet, or the ground in this fight, then hicks is....if varner wins it will be by split desision, I expect a great fight, but hicks breaths this sport, and he's a hard worker, jamie will have to work really fuckin hard to win a desision....Hicks should be a slight favorite, and this fight will probly steal the show.
gl to you, with whoever you deside.
