The rivalry between Jon Jones and Rashad Evans has only just begun to intensify. While making an appearance on the CBS sports talk-show “Sportsnite,” the two light heavyweights didn’t hold back from hiding their true feelings towards one another, especially Evans. “I don’t respect Jon as a person,” Evans said. “I think Jon is fake […]

Main Card Predictions

Light Heavyweight Championship bout: Jon Jones (c) vs Lyoto Machida

Love both these guys. The patience of Machida will probably give Jon Jones a little bit of trouble for the first round. However, I don’t think there is much that Machida can do against the elusive Jones. The best chance Machida has at winning this fight is being Jon Jones Guard and landing long punches. I hope the odds are too far apart on this one. I like Jon Jones winning this one pretty much no matter what. If the odds are like -600 though, I might take Machida.

Heavyweight bout: Frank Mir vs Antônio Rodrigo Nogueira

A rematch that Mir won the first time. I think this back to being a toss up again as Nogueira was sick with the flu last time they fought. If the odds are ridiculously skewed in favor of Mir, I like Nogueira to win. Otherwise if its close go with Mir.

Light Heavyweight bout: Tito Ortiz vs Antônio Rogério Nogueira

Tito ain’t KOing Nogueira on the feet so imo that will give Nogueira time to work his championship level boxing. Ortiz’ best shot at winning this is obviously one way. The double leg > GnP. However, he is going against a Nogueira. So in that position you have to worry about being armbarred. The two brothers have some of the best armbars in the game. Nogueira’s boxing is much much better than Tito’s. I like Nogueira winning this, but I’ve been finding myself rooting for Tito in his last few fights. Maybe its the nostalgic fan in me. I used to dislike Tito all those years he fought before his stint on the TUF show, before he came back for the first Ken Shamrock fight, but these days I’m a fan. I think Nogueira has the right skillset to give Ortiz problems. I see little Nog taking a decision. Cardio could be Ortiz ace in the hole in this one though.

Welterweight bout: Claude Patrick vs Brian Ebersole

Ebersole. There are only a few people in the division that can beat him right now.

Featherweight bout: Mark Hominick vs Chan Sung Jung

Awesome fight potential, but I lean towards Hominick here. Sung Jung is wild and Hominick is crisp and tight. Big advantage for Hominick.

Preliminary card (Ion Television)

Light Heavyweight bout: Krzysztof Soszynski vs Igor Pokrajac

Soszynski will likely win being bigger and better on the ground. I like the way Igor fights though.

Middleweight bout: Jared Hamman vs Constantinos Philippou

Hamman is the guy that presses and he doesn’t look like hes tough or a fighter, but hes got skills. I expect him to win then sell you a computer when its over.

Lightweight bout: John Makdessi vs Dennis Hallman

One thing you can count on here is that Hallman won’t be wearing a mankini. Only prediction to be made here.

Bantamweight bout: Yves Jabouin vs Walel Watson

Preliminary card

Lightweight bout: Mark Bocek vs Nik Lentz

I want to see this fight. Bocek has been a monster lately, but Nik Lentz is always fun to watch and has some good skills. On the ground though Bocek has distinct advantage.

Welterweight bout: Rich Attonito vs Jake Hecht

Lightweight bout: Mitch Clarke vs John Cholish

Ultimate Fighter Finale Bisping vs Miller Predictions

Michael Bisping vs Jason Miller The early MMA odds show the Count is favorite at -200 and Miller at +160. I think the best bet for this fight is that it will go past the first and second round. I also lean towards Miller winning here because of the chance at a submission whereas if

Michael Bisping vs Jason Miller

The early MMA odds show the Count is favorite at -200 and Miller at +160. I think the best bet for this fight is that it will go past the first and second round. I also lean towards Miller winning here because of the chance at a submission whereas if you see this fight as more of a boxing match, Bisping could win on points. Bisping will not be knocking out Miller and Miller most likely will not be knocking out Bisping. Based on styles and their past fights, you have to lean towards this one going to the judges in favor of Bisping or a submission for Miller. Lower odds imo that Miller gets a decision here, but he was able to handle Jaccare in his fight in Pride before getting DQ’d for an errant head kick. That to me tells me Miller’s skills have improved. Lets not forget the last time we saw Jason Miller in the UFC he fought George St Pierre and gave him a fight initially and managed to survive a huge onslaught of elbows that made him a bloody mess.

Miller could get Bisping to the ground and keep there most of the fight and take a decision that way. He also is excellent at minimizing damaging strikes when he on bottom.

I think the odds makers on this fight got it perfect. However, I personally want Miller to win this fight and I think there is a slightly better chance that he could win it than the odds show.

Tony Ferguson vs Yves Edwards

Pretty sure both of these guys just fought like within the last 2 months? Ferguson on Sep 24th, Yeh and Yves last month October 1st. Weird they are putting together this fight so soon, but I guess its because these two ended their last fight so quickly.

Tony has some excellent standup boxing and he overwhelms opponents. Yves obviously has the experience to weather what Tony is brining plus the ground skills to give Tony fits. However, Tony is likely the fighter that is going to end up on top due to his tenacious pressure and excellent takedown game.

I see Tony getting the decision or TKO late. Best bet is this goes beyond round 1.

The Ultimate Fighter Finale Fight

John Dodson vs T.J. Dillashaw

Dodson seems unstoppable. Doesn’t get rocked, doesn’t get taken down, is fast as can be. Dillashaw trains with team Alpha Male and is going to have loads of experience on Dodson. However, I think Dodson is one of those guys that is nearly impossible to beat. Dodson won’t always win, but his skillset and ability make him very difficult to finish. I think the smiling Dodson wins.

Diego Brandao vs Dennis Bermudez

Bermudez had great top game and is longer than Caraway who couldn’t take down Brandao. Diego seems ultra-determined though unlike many a fighter I’ve seen before. He is going to be hard to finish. I gotta think Diego here. Bermudez needs to take Brandao down to nullify his power. Its going to be a tough task and when that takedown plan fails, look out for the TKO.

Live on Fox and Fox Sports November 12th 2011. The first live free UFC fight on a major network television broadcast.

Heavyweight Championship bout: Cain Velasquez vs. Junior Dos Santos

The two best heavyweight boxers we’ve ever seen in MMA. Don’t even say Ray Mercer or James Tony, those guys don’t box in MMA. They swing.

As good as Dos Santos boxing is, its probably better, Velasquez is going to take him down and nullify it.

I lean towards Velasquez in this one, but Dos Santos is only an uppercut away from ending it.

Preliminary card (Fox Deportes)

Lightweight bout: Clay Guida vs. Ben Henderson

Ben Henderson, if you go back through MMA Betting Picks website…way back, he was one of my undiscovered rising stars back when he fought in the MFC and walked out with his glasses on. Its incredible that the guy can’t see well without them and he has hair in his way most of the time.

This fight literally is the battle of hair.

Between Guida’s locks and Henderson’s expect a lot of swinging and a hair a flying.

From a strict comparables, I think Henderson has this fight on reach, size, overall striking. Henderson’s length is going to give Guida problems all night and he will be scoring. Guida has to get this fight to the ground to win. I don’t see it happening.

Guida is a crowd favorite so expect the lines to be tighter than they should be. I like Henderson in this fight. I also like this one going beyond 2-2.5 rounds.

Featherweight bout: Dustin Poirier vs. Pablo Garza

Poirier

Preliminary card (Facebook and FoxSports.com)

Featherweight bout: Cub Swanson vs. Ricardo Lamas

Cub Swanson

Welterweight bout: DaMarques Johnson vs. Clay Harvison

DaMarques Johnson – more experience – more ways to win – longer reach.

Bantamweight bout: Norifumi Yamamoto vs. Darren Uyenoyama

Kid Yamamoto

Featherweight bout: Mackens Semerzier vs. Robert Peralta

lean towards Mackens

Bantamweight bout: Alex Caceres vs. Cole Escovedo

More than 2 rounds.

Middleweight bout: Mike Pierce vs. Paul Bradley

Mike Pierce is up there on my favorite fighters to watch and bet with. He is excellent everywhere on the ground, but his special skill is stifling the takedown then making the opponent pay for attempting it.
Depending on the odds, this is probably an excellent bet.

Light Heavyweight bout: Aaron Rosa vs. Matt Lucas
