Heavyweight bout: Randy Couture vs. Antônio Rodrigo Nogueira- Basing this off of past fights. Nog looked horrible in the fight against Frank Mir. He was incredibly slow with his reactions, head straight up in the air, hands low. In result, people thought Mir won because of his "INCREDIBLE BOXING"..including Mir himself who recently said during an interview that in a standup battle, he would win against Cheick Kongo. Couture looked great against Brock Lesnar. I feel like if he didn't get caught with that shot that he could have wore Lesnar out and perhaps even beat him. A rematch between Lesnar/Couture intrigues me more than a fight with Lesnar/Nog. I see Couture using his boxing to outstrike Nog to a decision victory.
Light Heavyweight bout: Keith Jardine vs. Thiago Silva- Keith Jardine is a rollercoaster ride of a fighter. He wins the fights he is supposed to lose, and he loses the fights he is supposed to win. He holds very notable wins against Vera, Griffin, and Liddell..but right after those wins always came a loss to Houston, Rampage, and Wanderlei Silva. So just using logic here, his last fight was a loss so I will say that in this fight he will win in a dominating fashion perhaps even knocking Silva out.
Middleweight bout: Chris Leben vs. Jake Rosholt- Chris Leben is one of my favorites. But 9 months is a long layoff and I think it'll be interesting to see how Leben is mentally after losing to Bisping. I think Jake Rosholt will pull off a submission.
Middleweight bout: Nate Marquardt vs. Demian Maia- I guarantee 9 people out of 10 will choose Maia. But I have to go with Marquardt. He is a fantastic striker, extremely strong, and also can defend submissions very well..He got caught by Ricardo Almeida..and Maia is better at BJJ than Almeida but I still think Marquardt can pull out the win.
Light Heavyweight bout: Brandon Vera vs. Krzysztof Soszynski- Krzysztof is on a roll right now. I think this is going to be his 3rd or 4th time fighting this year? He is a big strong guy who is excellent at submissions. But this is a big test for him. Brandon Vera is no push-over. I feel he is a guy who gets overlooked at a lot but I feel he is finally acclimated to the move at 205 and he has looked great in his last 2 fights. I see him destroying Soszynski with his Muay Thai.

I agree sandy on Vera destroying Soszynski. I hope to god Leben wins. But I agree he might not be in the right state of mind after 9 months...

Light Heavyweight bout: Keith Jardine vs. Thiago Silva
Middleweight bout: Chris Leben vs. Jake Rosholt

Every other fight to me is a toss up. But Nate Marquardt will win. That is my one and only pick. So hopefully he wins.

Couture's one of my favorites and I'm a pretty big fan of Maia. His Jiu Jitsu backround is a notch above. I'm gonna pick Couture, silva, Leben, Maia, and Vera.

Im excited to see Chris Tushcerer debut!^^^ He trains with Brock! Might want to step his game up and become his own person. No need to look just like Lesnar. (I tried to find the Money May video of him saying "step your game up" on Jim Rome is Burning. But couldn't so any help would be cool.) |
