Now that the heavier WEC weight classes have been merged with the UFC, the lighter weight class fighters will be getting more chances to shine. It may take some time to get used to a lot of these new names, but these little dudes can scrap! Little guys like bantamweights, Marcos Galvao and Damacio Page are going to show the world what 135 pounds of solid muscle and speed can do.
Here are the PRO MMA (promma.info) 'STAFF PICKS' for WEC 39:
Mike Brown vs. Leonard Garcia
DENNY: Leonard Garcia - Despite Leonard Garcia's one punch KO power, Mike Brown has never been knocked out. Garcia is a very resilient fighter with tons of heart, and I believe Mike Brown will use his superior grappling to try to neutralize Garcia's power. However, maybe Brown will be a thinking about this defense just a little bit in the back of his mind and will stand with Garcia. I think that is what will happen and Garcia will be the NEW champ at 145 setting up a showdown with Urijah Faber. Garcia by TKO in Round 3.
JACK: Leonard Garcia - Garcia has never been finished. He trains with one of the top camps in the world. He's tough as nails. They have five rounds to decide a winner and I just feel Garcia will pull it off. I think all of Brown's losses have come by way of submission so it's about time for a TKO. Also, he gave us an exclusive interview so he deserves to win! Garcia via TKO in Round 2.
MATT: Mike Brown
EDDIE: Mike Brown
Bart Palaszewski vs. Ricardo Lamas
DENNY: Bart Palaszewski - Lamas steps into this fight as a late replacement and giving up a lot of experience to the veteran Bart Palaszewski. These two factors will equate to a short night for the up and coming prospect, and a first round TKO victory for Palaszewski.
JACK: Bart Palaszeski - Cause of what
