FEG Fighters and Staff Pick Hari to Win

FEG has been asking their fighters and staff to weigh in on the upcoming Grand Prix.  Answers have  ranged from the well thought out, to the just plain goofy, to a few that make you question what the person is thinking.  But it's been fun to see how different fighters see this event going down. 

In the end, the favorite to win it is Badr Hari, with Overeem coming in second.  The full breakdown is as follows:

Karaev: 2 votes (5% of total)

Hari: 16 votes (41%)

Overeem: 11 votes (28%)

Teixeira: 1 vote (3%)

Schilt: 5 votes (13%)

Le Banner: 0 votes

Bonjasky: 3 votes (8%)

Zimmerman: 1 vote (3%)

To me, one of the most interesting aspects of this result is the very low number of people picking either Schilt or Bonjasky - both three time champions who have dominated the Grand Prix in the last decade. 

In other predictions news, K-1 has a fan poll on their Japanese web site.  Currently, Hari is leading that poll as well with 23% of the vote.  After that, everyone else is within a few points of each other, except for Teixeira who comes in far below at dead last.  You can find that poll here.

Finally, be sure to check back later this week for HKL's predictions.
