Rousimar Palhares vs Alan Belcher

At UFC on FOX 3: Miller vs Diaz - May 5, 2012

Prediction

Belcher is a seasoned, durable veteran who is capable of beating anyone. Unfortunately for him, he is facing Palhares and while Belcher enjoys a significant advantage over the Brazilian in the stand-up department, he will not be able to handle him on the ground. Palhares wins this with a submission in the opening 5 minutes.

Post-fight comment

Belcher looked impressively composed on the ground and handled himself very well. An excellent display.
