LOL, I love the don't care responses.
Here are my predictions,
Rashad Evans over Griffin. Rashad Evans is the better wrestler and unfortunately I beleive MMA is more suited to wrestlers. Rashad will be able to keep the fight on the ground if it goes there and nullify Forrests attacks. Standing it's a toss up, but Rashad has KO power, Forrest doesn't.
Nogueira over Mir: Nogueira is a better striker and Jiu Jitsu player than Mir. He can take punishment and keep coming. Mir loses by sub.
Wanderlai over Rampage: We have to see where Rampage's head is at after his title loss, automobile escapade, and subsequent arrest. Also, Im sure he is going to go into this fight a little gun shy knowing that Wanderlai has knocked him sensless before and beat him twice. The cage suits Rampage's style more, but Wanderlai is Wanderlai. I think Silva KO's Rampage. I wouldn't bet my house on it, but I am pulling for Wanderlai and think he can do it yet again.
C.B. Dollaway vs Mike Massenzio: Don't know much about Massenzio, however CB is a tough guy, but he's a little to cocky and arrogant for my taste, which if you know me, means I want to see him beaten soundly. Mike is a BJJ player who has won mostly by submission. From what I have seen from CB, his submission defense isn't great but his record shows he has KO power, so Im going with...CB, eventhough I don't like him.
Cheick Kongo over Mustapha Al-Turk: Cheick Kong is a bigger better striker in my opinion, though he like to shoot in for takedowns as of late and keep his opponent there. Either way I think Kong takes it. Not much else to say here.
Undercard:
Okami vs Lister: I don't know where to go with this one. It is going to be a boring fight I will tell you that much. Okami is very passive in the first few rounds and Lister is going to look to go to the ground immediately and work on a submission. Okami however is no slouch on the ground, and should be able to hold off Lister, plus Okami has great Ground and Pound soooooooooooo........I will take Okami over Lister by boring snoozefest decision.
Antoni Hardonk over Mark Burch
Matt Hamill over Reese Andy
Ryo Chonan over Brad Blackburn
Patrick Barry over Dan Evensen: Cheick Kongo knocked Evensen silly in their fight, and I think Barry is much better striker than Kongo. Our good friend Patrick is a skilled K-1 level Kickboxer & Sanshou Champion, if he is training the ground game, he will be a tough contender in the UFC. I hope to see him do well.
There you go. Of course however, being the Muay Thai fighter I am, I will pretty much always pull for the established striker, but it doesn't mean I dont understand the other aspects of the game. MMA is great, but Muay Thai is for life!
