Re: Performify\'s UFC 59 picks
I gotta point out two things with regards to PDP v Monson:
1) PDP aint gonna open up anything with strikes. He refuses to even train standup, and it drives the people he trains with absolutely nuts. PDP is a great ground fighter but his standup isnt bad, its non-existent.
2) PDP never beat Monson; PDP "tapped" to a non-existent can -opener at ADCC, instantly DQ'ing Monson, who flipped out and ran around naked, screaming for vengance and blood from what Im told.
The only advantages PDP has are height and reach, which do matter against someone built like Monson, but there is no reason at all to believe that Monson isnt going to brutalize PDP in ways we can scarcely imagine.
