UFC 153 got underway with an unlikely slugfest contested between noted grapplers Cristiano Marcello and Reza Madadi. Though both fighters landed many flush shots causing considerable damage, it was Marcello who was given the nod from two of three judges, good enough for a split-decision victory.    What We’ll Remember About This Fight It was […]

Jake Ellenberger vs Martin Kampmann

Ellenberger is of course the guy that keeps on coming. Kampmann also keeps moving forward as well. Both fighters have more than 40 fights combined and only 9 wins via decision. These guys finish their fights.
Ellenberger is favored -210 at 5Dimes with Kampmann sitting at -175. Kampmann is going to get taken down, but if he can avoid the take downs, Kampmann is the better striker. Kampmann is not a bad bet here in the underdog position as he recently beat Thiago Alves with a surprise punch and guillotine combo that shocked everyone as he was losing the entire fight. That could happen again here IF Kampmann can stop the takedowns from Ellenberger. I’ve got Ellenberger winning.

Jonathan Brookins vs Charles Oliveira

Jonathan Brookins always in good in the top game as well as the wrestling department. He has a good fight IQ, but is not a great finisher. Oliveira is good on the feet and on the ground (although hes been beat there before). Oliveira has been up and down in the past, but possesses incredible all around skills.

I’ve got Oliveira winning.

Justin Lawrence vs John Cofer

Justin Lawrence is an interesting talent. He’s like an American Denis Siver. I think Lawrence is going to win.

Myles Jury vs Chris Saunders

Another good fight.

Daron Cruickshank vs Chris Tickle

Tickle is tough, while Cruickshank is skilled. I think Cruickshank is going to showcase is striking skills in this coming out party of a fight. Tickle is a brawler with mediocre at best ground skills. However, he packs heat with his punches and Cruickshank doesn’t protect his chin well. However, like I said previously, I think Cruickshank will win.

Cristiano Marcello vs Sam Sicilia

Marcello possesses terrible standing game, while Sicilia has poor ground game. If Marcello can’t get this fight to the ground Sicilia is going to win. If this hits the ground, Marcello will win in short fashion.

Max Holloway vs Pat Schilling

John Albert vs Erik Perez
