What I find crazy is, I’m not sure who will be able to beat Petrosyan right now.

He’s my pick to win the MAX tournament, partly because I expect him to have a far less difficult semi-final that whoever wins Buakaw v. Souwer.

Interestingly, Buakaw has stated in interviews that he expects to face Petrosyan in the finals (no surprise there) and that he will win because Petrosyan is not strong at defending against kicks. Not sure I buy that, but it’s interesting.
