UFC 235 was fantastic. The fights were entertaining, and my picks held up for the most part

Jon Jones vs. Anthony Smith

Jon Jones dominated Smith. – This site is called unbroken MMA because there comes a time, when someone has you in the dirt, when you have no path to victory, when you know that winning is not an option, but you don’t give up. I like those moments in fighting, and I cherish them. Anthony Smith was BROKEN in this fight, not beaten, BROKEN. He got broken right after Jones threw a flying knee and busted his face up. He was willing to go out at anytime after that. Smith would not go the route of taking the DQ victory after being broken in that fight- to his credit. Jones then rewarded him by letting him lose via Unanimous decision. I picked Jones to finish Smith in the 2nd round, I don’t think I made a bad pick, because this was pure dominance read more

Jon JonesvsAnthony Smith

Jones should be able to dominate Anthony Smith in this fight. Smith is just not technical enough, and Jones is a technical beast right now. Round 2 stoppage, Jones wins.

Tyron Woodley vs. Kamaru Usman

This is one of the best fights of the year. This classic should be headling its own event. This fight makes this card unbroken. Tyron Woodley has the best Fight IQ in all of MMA. I expect that this bout will go the distance and Woodley will win by Unanimous decision

Robbie Lawlervs.Ben Askren

Ben Askren should take this one very easily. He should be able to neutralize Lawler for 3 rounds and win by Unanimous decision read more

UFC 234 came and went. I’ll get into how the fights played out, whats next for them, and how I did on my picks.

Kelvin Gastelum vs Robert Whittaker

Oh, the fight that didnt happen. I am a little bit happy, because I made a bold prediction, picking Gastelum. Whittaker is a very smart fighter and his hit and run style could’ve beat Gastelum. I still love Gastelum’s chin though, which is his best weapon, and I think that he can beat Whittaker more easily now, knowing his injury. Can you say, push-kick to the gut?

Israel Adesanya vs Anderson Silva

This fight didnt end the way I thought it would, and I’m happy it did not end the way I thought it would. What we saw was a modern day Kung fu fight, and it was delightful. We really needed to see these guys for five rounds, but it seems as if the MMA Gods hate Australia. Adesanya will dismantle Gastelum if he faces him, and as for Anderson Silva, I see he’s still playing with his consciousness by intentionally taking shorts to the head. read more

MiddleweightRobert Whittacker (c)vs.Kelvin Gastelum
Sure Whittaker is krafty, and he’ll try to hit and run, but Gastelum has a solid chin and will look to get in close. I see him sinking in the RNC in the championship rounds
MiddleweightIsrael Adesanyavs.Anderson Silva
Style bender will showcase how much speed kills. Silva is old and passed. A changing of the guard type fight. Adesanya wins by Rd. 2 stoppage
BantamweightRani Yahyavs.Ricky Simon
Yahya is all technique. Simon is all piss and vinegar, a la Uriah Faber variety. Simon wins by Unanimous decison
Women’s FlyweightMontana de la Rosavs.
Nadia Kassem
Nadia Kassem should take this one by decision
Light Heavyweight Jim Crute vs. Sam Alvey
Jim Crute will stay away from the left hand and get the win over Alvey
LightweightDevonte Smithvs.Dong Hyun Ma
This should be show time for Devonte Smith. Rd.1 KO
FeatherweightShane Youngvs.Austin Arnett
Shane young should be able to grind this out. I think its gonna be a close match. Split decision win.
FlyweightKai Kara-Francevs.Raulian Paiva
Kai Kara-France should take this one
BantamweightTeruto Ishiharavs.Kang Kyung-ho
Ishihara should win by UD. Even though Ishihara has a bad losing streak going, he’s faced more talented competition
LightweightLando Vannatavs.Marcos Rosa
Groovy Lando should get the finish in the 2nd Rd
Lightweight
Jalin Turner 		vs.Callan Potter
This should be showtime for Jalin Turner, who will look to show-off his immense physical tools
