Well, since its tomorrow and on free tv, what's your predictions on the fights?
Card: Henderson vs. Rampage- Very even fight and a hard one to call. Hendo stated recently that he wants to wear Jackson down in a 25 minute fight. Hendo can KO Rampage and vice versa, but I think the most likely to happen will be-
Hendo by TKO in the 3rd.
Michael Bisping vs. Matt Hamill- Another good fight. Hamill's only had 3 fights and I don't think his game is well rounded enough to put Bisping away or control the fight enough to win a decision. So...
Bisping by TKO in the 2nd
Mirko Cro Cop vs. Cheick Kongo- This fights not going to a decision and it probably won't see the end of the first round. Kongo's a good striker but if CC comes in motivated and focused like he said he is for this fight, then it'll be a rough night for Kongo.
Cro Cop by KO in the 1st.
Houston Alexander vs. Alessio Sakara- Houston by KO 2nd.
Marcus Davis vs. Paul Taylor- Davis by Dec.

I'll just do winners. I don't see the point of predicting how a fight will end. MMA is just too much of an oddball sport.
- Dan Henderson vs. Rampage Jackson - Michael Bisping vs. Matt Hamill - Mirko Cro Cop vs. Cheick Kongo - Houston Alexander vs. Alessio Sakara - Marcus Davis vs. Paul Taylor

I am confused. You picked Henderson for a TKO in your predictions but your sig says a KO?

I am confused. You picked Henderson for a TKO in your predictions but your sig says a KO? Yeah I know, I've been going back and forth on a KO or TKO for a couple days now. A TKO does seem more likely than a big 1 punch KO so thats why I put that as the final choice. I'm hoping for a big KO though.

Dan Henderson vs. Rampage Jackson Two pretty even fighters. Everyone seems to give Henderson the advantage but you don't knock out Rampage. He can take a hit, the only thing he had trouble with was defending knees. And I'm positive since getting a good camp to train with he has improved his game all-around. Rampage is the stronger more aggressive fighter who relies on his strength to get out of submissions other fighters are not able to. I am going to say Rampage will TKO Henderson second round.
Michael Bisping vs. Matt Hamill I don't want to completely shoot-down Hamills chances at winning this fight as he is a very good wrestler. But I think Bisping will be too much for him. If it doesn't end in a big KO in the first round I am going to say Bisping will KO Hamill with a flying knee.
Mirko Cro Cop vs. Cheick Kongo I think Cro-Cop was a little apprehensive with his first 2 fights in the octagon but I heard he is training in his own octagon now and I think his lost to Gonzaga really kind of woke his ass up and let him know "Whoa, I'm not just going to run through these UFC guys like I thought I would". So I am almost positive this will be the fight that lets all the non-pride fans know who Mirko "Cro-Cop" Flipovic is.
Houston Alexander vs. Alessio Sakara I know it is dumb to join the bandwagon of a guy who has had one fight in the UFC but I just do not see Alexander losing anytime soon...

- Dan Henderson vs. Rampage Jackson - Michael Bisping vs. Matt Hamill - Mirko Cro Cop vs. Cheick Kongo - Houston Alexander vs. Alessio Sakara Got a feeling Houston will be one of these guys that is great standing but has no ground game, The problem he's going to have is that sakara is going to be better standing up. Got a big bet on Sakara so i'm hoping i'm right. - Marcus Davis vs. Paul Taylor

Im hoping Hamill will beat Bisbing since hes from my town...... But Henderson will beat Rampage no doubt. If you guys watched Pride back in the day, Rampage was good but Henderson was one of the best...

I'm really surprised people aren't really giving Rampage a shot at all in this fight. I love Dan Henderson but Rampage will beat him tonight.

^Uhm there was people rooting for Ramoage above, but Hendersons got him beat when it comes to ground and striking, so basically Hendersons the best pick.

Based off of what I know of UFC, I will pick Rampage Jackson and Cro Cop to win their fights. I don't know enough about the other fights to pick a winner for those.

Cro Cop and Hamil I want to win. Rampage and Henderson, I dont care, as long as the fight rules, Either one winner will be fine since they are both great.

I think CroCop will be done in UFC. It's basically proven he was one of the best but there's many guys better than him. I doubt we'll see too much more from him. I still bet Jackson will win.
