Fight night is only a few days away and it's starting to feel like a great main event is on the way. Brock Lesnar is a slight favorite at minus-160, but there are tons of people picking Cain Velasquez, especially inside the fight world. Fight Magazine caught up with some of the folks around Strikeforce and most of them like Velasquez.
Strikeforce CEO Scott Coker and announcer Frank Shamrock tabbed the challenger to steal the belt. Of course, Shamrock prefaces his pick by saying that he taught the fight game to "Crazy" Bob Cook, Velasquez's trainer, at American Kickboxing Academy. Randy Couture, attending the EA MMA game intro, likes Lesnar but said Cain has the ability to tire the big guy. HDNet announcer and former UFC fighter Bas Rutten also thinks stamina is the key. Dan Henderson is in the Cain corner as well, saying that Velasquez is going to be too much for Lesnar. The capper is Fedor Emelianenko, who really doesn't make a pick and shrugs at the end.
