I already jumped on George at +220. He has looked AWESOME in all of his UFC fights.

George S.  looked awsome against Jason Dent at UFC 106.  However, George's standup is questionable at best.  If George can get Joe down, George will have a great chance of getting the submission.  If he can't take him down, Joe Daddy will outstrike him...

At +220, George S is definitely worth a look...

George really doesn't have very good standup at all, but he is an absolute beast on the ground.

Joe's standup is also lacking, but he is strong as hell and a great wrestler.

I'll take George in this one by armbar. At +220 for a guy with his BJJ skill against another guy who is primarily a ground fighter is a great bet.

I don't know how much it will factor in, but this fight is taking place in George Sotiropoulos' home country of Austrailia.

I thought he did well on the show, he knocked out Jared Rollins, beat Ritchie Hightower by Kimura and if I remember correctly he got poked in the eye which led to him getting KOed by Tommy Spear.

Since coming to the UFC he is 5-0 and has finished all 5 opponents either by submission or KO.

His BJJ is VERY good.

The Only thing that I DON'T like about George is his hairstyle. His hairstyle looks like something a Gay Hairdresser would have.

While I dont think he should be that heavy of a favorite, I still like Stevenson to win this fight.  I wouldn't be too surprised if George takes it, I just don't see it happening.  Joe Daddy looked as good as he's ever been in his last fight vs Spencer  Fisher (I bet on Fisher, ouch), and his confidence is sky high right now.  Hopefully I'm wrong though...GL

I know Joe beat Nate, but he has struggled against BJJ guys in the past. This should be a very interesting fight.
