I'll be rooting for Burkman and think he's got a good chance. Team Quest is no joke and I wouldn't be surprised to see him extremely improved.

P.S. I'd say Soko will be working Burkman with some Judo, and that will help exponentially.

I think Karo is to good for burkman. Karo has only been finished once and that was by sherk and karo was very new to mma. GSP couldnt even stop karo or serra. So that being said if burkman wins it will go to dec, but i see karo stoping burkman late in the 2nd. From the Diego fight to Drew fight Karo improved his striking. So i am thinking he has gotten better. It is time for Karo to shine.

This is tough. I like both of them, so its hard to say who I'll be pulling for. If Burkman wins, I definitely think it would be considered an upset.

Very evenly matched fight but I am going with Burkman, he is just a marginally better skilled than Karo IMO.

if karo comes into the fight in any kind of shape i say he takes it... if burkman drags it into the later rounds and karo starts gassing (like he did against fickett) burkman is talented enough to make him pay.

If Karo actually trained like he should he would be champion today. He sees a fight an thinks i should win off talent and does not train as hard.
