Josh may have gotten the win in our little prediction war for UFC 158, but I’m sorry, Bobby Voelker absolutely should have won that fight against Patrick Cote. Had the judges scored that fight correctly, I would have come out on top that night 2-1 in our three fight dissension battle. Nonetheless, I still have one win on him. Unfortunately for this event, there’s only one bout we disagree on.
It’s dissension at its finest, the ongoing prediction battle between MMAfix.com writers, Ryan “Fight Freek” Poli and Josh Leduc.
Tor Troeng vs. Adam Cella
Fight Freek’s thoughts : Tor was clipped bad in his loss on the Ultimate Fighter, but his fight to get into the house was more impressive than that of Cella’s. Not to mention, he’s has five times the professional experience, and his only loss in twelve fights was to the former UFC middleweight title contender, Thales Leites. Too Many factors in Tor’s corner for me to side with Cella.
Pick : Tor Troeng
Josh’s thoughts : Cella lost to Uriah Hall, who may be the best fighter on this TUF season. Tor on the other hand, lost the fight that his own coach set up. In his four professional fights, Cella has stopped all four of his opponents. Two by submission, and two by KO. I’m going with Cella’s well rounded skills, and ability to finish.
Pick : Adam Cella
And for the record, here’s the rest of our picks that we agree on…
Papy Abedi > Besam Yousef
Michael Kuiper < Tom Lawlor
Marcus Brimage > Conor McGregor
Chris Spang < Adlan Amagov
Reza Madadi < Michael Johnson
Ben Alloway > Ryan LaFlare
Akira Corassani < Robbie Peralta
Diego Brandao > Pablo Garza
Brad Pickett > Mike Easton
Matt Mitrione > Phil De Fries
Ryan Couture < Ross Pearson
Gegard Mousasi > Ilis Latifi
