Duane Ludwig and Nick Osipczak battled for 15 minutes Saturday at UFC 122, with Osipczak hurting Ludwig early on but then tiring out as the fight wore on, and Ludwig walking away with a hard-fought split decision.

An emotional Ludwig dedicated the fight afterward to his newborn son — whom Ludwig hasn’t met, because he’s been in Germany getting ready for the fight.

“I had my little boy three days ago, Little Duane Bang Ludwig,” he said after the fight. “I love you, buddy. I can’t wait to meet you.”

UFC 122 Predictions

Nate Marquardt vs Yushin Okami I don’t see Okami posing any threat to Marquardt other than maybe winning a decision, not that this couldn’t happen it could. Marquardt on the other hand has the power to finish Okami inside three rounds. I like Marquardt here. Jorge Rivera vs Alessio Sakara This is the second billing […]

Nate Marquardt vs Yushin Okami

I don’t see Okami posing any threat to Marquardt other than maybe winning a decision, not that this couldn’t happen it could. Marquardt on the other hand has the power to finish Okami inside three rounds. I like Marquardt here.

Jorge Rivera vs Alessio Sakara

This is the second billing fight and is a smart card for a free Spike TV showing. Rivera likes to stay on his feet and of course Sakara does as well. I like Rivera here.

Dennis Siver vs Andre Winner

Both guys have great boxing, Winner has better. Siver has some deadly leg kicks and his sidekick and back fist he uses quite a bit. Andre Winner though I could see putting a pounding on Siver without taking him out until the judge’s decision. Winner via decision.

Amir Sadollah vs Peter Sobotta

Amir Sadollah. UFC likes to showcase him.

Krzysztof Soszynski vs Goran Reljic

In the battle of eastern block names, I like Goran Reljic in this one. However, if Goran gets on his back, Soszynski probably does his key lock.

Kyle Noke vs Rob Kimmons

I’ll ride with Noke. Seemed tough on the show.

Vladimir Matyushenko vs Alexandre Ferreira

Vlad.

Duane Ludwig vs Nick Osipczak

In this match Ludwig is a 2-1 underdog here. I like Ludwig to win and with these odds seems like a no brainer.

Seth Petruzelli vs Karlos Vemola

Petruzelli via ridge hand.
