Going Varner on this one.

Varner looked awesome in his last fight, but he was super motivated. Maybe he will be for this one too. I like Joe and I'd like to see him with a win.

J-Lau bags a douche via BJJ lesson.

Jamie Varner lost to Dakota Cochrane. Just sayin'...

[Tallica1981]

I actually picked varner to beat Barboza (albeit by decision), and I think he can get a late TKO here. Varner has good power, and a solid chin. I think he can withstand the initial barrage and hurt Joe in rd 2 or 3. The Cochran fight was pretty bad, but I really think you had a guy who had lost his fire in that fight. I think he's back and focused. I don't see him contending for the belt, but I think he finds a nice home at 155 for a while in the UFC.

AFter his last fight I have some excitement to see this. I honestly think this could be fotn.

I have no doubt that Lauzon can tap Varner.....but theres also a good chance Varner survives and TKOs a gassed Lauzon. Hoping for the former.

I agree.

Varner may have struggled recently, but he's been around the block a few times, so I don't see him succumbing to the fury of a first round Lauzon.

Anyone think Lauzon has a chance to make a run for the title?
