UFC 110 predictions?

[mamushi]

Main Card

Heavyweight Bout: Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira d. Cain Velasquez
I think it could go either way depending, but I'll say Big Nog for the sake of picking one

Middleweight Bout: Michael Bisping d. Wanderlei Silva
Kinda torn here too, but Wanderlei seems like he's lost a few steps the last couple years.

Lightweight Bout: Joe Stevenson d. George Sotiropoulos
I'd like to see Sotiropoulos take it, but I think Stevenson will

Light Heavyweight Bout: Ryan Bader d. Keith Jardine
It always seems like Jardine wins the fights you'd think he'd lose and lose the fights you'd think he'd win

Heavyweight Bout: Mirko Filipoviæ d. Anthony Perosh
It's not like Crocop has been doing real great in UFC, but I've no idea who Perosh is.

Preliminary Card

Light Heavyweight Bout: Krzysztof Soszynski d. Stephan Bonnar

Welterweight Bout: Chris Lytle d. Brian Foster

Middleweight Bout: Goran Reljic d. C.B. Dollaway

Light Heavyweight Bout: Igor Pokrajac d. James Te-Hun

No prelims free on Spike for UFC's Australian debut.

...wow Josh, you got almost all of them wrong ...

Nearly epic fail!

Chris Lytle nearly snapping his opponent's leg in half with a kneebar was nice.

Very impressive knockout of Nogeuira by Velasquez. I guess he gets to be Lesnar's bitch after Shane Corwin?

Speaking of people with a possible future of being pummelled in the face by Mr. Hands Of Stone, Kimbo Slice was announced during the PPV as making his UFC PPV debut at UFC 113 vs Matt Mitrione.

Hopefully Kimbo has fleshed out his game even more. I doubt he'll ever be a legit contender for the heavyweight title, but the heavyweight division needs more depth and I do think that he can make a positive contribution to the division if he keeps improving.

It's a shame Stephan bonner is a prelim fight now.

Also, what the hell's with Jardine? Is he done now, or what?

I think so. He's lost 3 straight matches and 6 of his last 8 (all from 2007 or more recent). And 1 of his 2 wins during that span was over Chuck Lidell, a terrible match that started Lidell's downward spiral into forced retirement.

Jardine needs to make the jump to pro wrestling. He's got a great nickname ("The Dean of Mean") and has that naturally crazy look to him.

I bet he'll be TNA Global champ by 2011
