Stipe Miocic vs Daniel Cormier

This didnt happen like how I imagined it would happen. I thought that Miocic would keep him on the outside and use his jab, but DC decided to go Robocop on Stipe for 3 rounds and got his ass knocked out. Big up to Stipe for finding that body, and then finding the head. I personally think that the body shot is one of DC’s big weaknesses

Nate Diaz vs Anthony Pettis

Do you think that Nate Diaz would come back if he thought that he couldn’t beat Pettis? Not a chance. I don’t think he’ll fight Usman, or any wrestler for that matter. If he fights Masvidal he’ll get his ass whooped also, but I do think this sets up a McGregor trilogy for him. Pettis as no heart, that’s about it. read more

UFC 241 recap

I’m pretty excited about this card. I think it’s because I feel like I know what’s going to happen. So be sure to empty your bank accounts, and get on a shady gambling site and ruin your lives. 😊 Great fights here too

Daniel CormiervsStipe Miocic

Stipe will try to stay on the outside, and try to wear out Cormier in the clinch. I think this goes all 5 rounds and I think the firefighter will take it.

Nate DiazvsAnthony Pettis

This one is a little hard to predict, since Diaz has been out for so long. Diaz doesn’t fight with his hands down like Wonderboy, so there’s that…and I also think that Pettis doesn’t have the juice anymore. We’ll get to see if Diaz still has the pace and the stamina that he’s known for read more

Max HollowayvsFrankie Edgar

I think Max Holloway will take this one. I just don’t think that Edgar has got the juice that he once had. Volkanovski beats them both though. Get Volkanovski in the title picture, and then we’ll see Max lose and move up a weight class.

Cris CyborgvsFelicia Spencer

I hope Spencer got paid for this one, because she’s not going to be able to take down Cyborg like she took down Megan Anderson. I think that Cyborg gets the finish in the 2nd round.

Geoff NealvsNiko Price

Niko Price is a fascinating character. If you’re not a real MMA fighter, I don’t think you beat him. He tries to exploit his opponents’ weaknesses. Geoff Neal has great striking, if you play that stand up game with him, he’s gonna make you pay, I see Price taking this to the ground and checking out Neal’s ground game. I think it will be a very competitive fight, but I think Price will pick up the win by sub. read more

Jon JonesvsThiago Santos

This is the biggest test for Jon Jones ever. I think Thiago Santos is a very worthy opponent. I do not think he’s only a “hard hitter”. He is crafty on the ground, very technical, and very durable. I think he had a fluke loss against David Branch. Jon Jones is the best Mixed Martial Artist ever, and I think that he’ll get the victory here. I think that he has to withstand some storms though. This fight is not going to be like the Anthony Smith fight.

Amanda NunesvsHolly Holm

This is a tough fight to call. Holly Holm is a very worthy opponent, and I think she’s going to get it done here. I think she is going to go for technical-point fighting to get the win. read more

Here’s how it turned out

Henry CejudovsMarlon Moraes

These are very worthy challengers for the Bantamweight title. I think Cejudo beat Dillashaw fairly-squarely when the two fought, even though that dude was jacked-up on EPO. I think Moraes would whoop Dillashaw’s ass no matter what steroid he was on. Moraes always looked to me, like aliens made him in a lab. Anyway, I think Cejudo will win this one, because Cejudo has terrific wrestling. I think he’ll have to weather some storms though, but I think he gets it done in 25 minutes. A lot a grapple-fucking read more

Rose NamajunasvsJessica Andrade

Namajunas has fantastic coaching. I think the coaching contingent at her camp has some of the best coaching for females in MMA (periodt), so I think she’ll be prepared. I have a feeling that Rose will want to play a little Jiu Jitsu with Andrade at some point. Jedrzejczyk wrote the book on how to beat Andrade, I think Rose will follow it

Jared CannoniervsAnderson Silva

Cannonier looks good at 185 and I think he’ll continue to look good. Anderson Silva can be a tricky fight for anyone, but you have to not let the spider get into your head. I see this one going the distance and Cannonier taking it. – His great coaching will get him through read more

What happened at UFC 236?

Max HollowayvsDustin Poirier

Holloway has the best footwork in the division. He is going to put the pressure on Poirier and get the TKO victory. I see him taking this in the championship rounds. I expect a lot of “sprawl and brawl” from Holloway

Kelvin Gastelum vs. Israel Adesanya

Stylebender should win this one. It should be a boring affair for the casuals. It will go all five rounds. Adesanya has the reach, Gastelum has the chin.

Eryk Andersvs.Khalil Rountree Jr

Anders has terrible technique, but has a hard head. I see Anders eating a lot of shots, but I don’t see him getting finished. Rountree should win this one easily read more

UFC 234 Picks

UFC 234 Picks

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
BantamweightWuliji Burenvs.Jonathan Martinez
Martinez should get the win here, by first round stoppage
