Jon Jones vs Brandon Vera
As much as I like betting with Brandon Vera, I like betting with Jon Jones more. Jon Jones finds ways to win no matter what. He has rarely if ever been in danger. Jones is like GSP, very athletic, and overwhelms other fighters. Vera is not that guy anymore. He used to be.
I’m taking Jon Jones in this one.
Junior Dos Santos vs Gabriel Gonzaga
This fight is going to be awesome. Gonzaga will surely have a ground advantage. However, Santos hands and foot work is too good. I have to go with the beast Junior Dos Santos though.
I’m taking Junior Dos Santos in this one.
Cheick Kongo vs Paul Beuntello
Beuntello likes to keep every fight standing, unfortunately for him, Kongo has a long reach and power.
Since the fight is going to be standing, watch Kongo utilize his knees.
I’m picking Cheick Kongo in this one.
Alessio Sakara vs James Irvin
The tale of two punchers. Irvin and Sakara are great punchers, while Irvin packs more power, Sakara packs more technique. I don’t remember exactly, but I think Irvin has been out with an injury.
I’m picking Sakara in this fight.
Clay Guida vs Shannon Gugerty
Guida via furball.
Elliot Marshall vs Vladimir Matyushenko
Elliot Marshall’s standup is better than Matyushenko’s – hands down. However, almost everyone Vladi has fought that has been the case. The difference is Vladimir Matyushenko has the Randy Couture style. Great wrestling, take down after take down, side control pummeling. Marshall will have an active guard, but I expect Vladimir Matyushenko’s game to look better in the judges eye’s and take the decision.
Brendan Schaub vs Chase Gormley
Chase is an up and comer with great wrestling until he walked into a Stefan Struve triangle choke in his last fight. Schaub also recently stumbled when he was KO’d by Roy Nelson. Schaub is better on the feet and his wrestling is more than enough to handle Gormley.
I like Schaub to win this one.
