UFC 138 Main card Predictions

Light Heavyweight bout: Cyrille Diabaté vs. Anthony Perosh

Diabate

Lightweight bout: Terry Etim vs. Eddie Faaloloto

Etim

Welterweight bout: Thiago Alves vs. Papy Abedi

Alves

Bantamweight bout: Brad Pickett vs. Renan Barão

Middleweight bout: Chris Leben vs. Mark Muñoz

Tough to analyze. Both fighters like to trade and have sloppy boxing. However, they both swing for home runs. Leben has probably been through more wars and can take more abuse than what Mark has been through in his career. In a war of attrition I give advantage to Leben because he take more abuse. However, I can see Munoz wrestling Leben and capturing a decision.

If this stays on the feet and Leben can avoid being double legged, I think Leben will win. Leben’s wrestling is not bad either.
