UFC 143 Predictions

February 4, 2012 by [Fight Pastor]

It is fight night in Vegas and I am here live! I had originally bought a cheap ticket to the fight but, fortunately, ran into Dana White who upgraded my ticket. Here are Brendan, Mike, and I right before Dana hooked us up!

Since the fights are tonight and I am late on my predictions, lets just get to it! Here are my fearless predictions for UFC 143.

Michael Kuiper by 2nd round TKO over Rafael Natal

Stephen Thompson by decision over Daniel Stittgen

Chris Cope by decision over Matt Brown

Edwin Figueroa by first round TKO over Alex Caceres

Matt Riddle by decision over Henry Martinez

Dustin Poirier by decision over Max Holloway

Ed Herman by 2nd round TKO over Clifford Starks

Renan Barao by 2nd round submission over Scott Jorgenson

Josh Koscheck by decision over Mike Pierce

Roy Nelson by decision over Fabricio Werdum

Carlos Condit by 3rd round TKO over Nick Diaz

I went back and forth on the main event. If it goes to a decision I would lean towards Nick Diaz. But, I am going with Condit for the upset. Condit’s win is going to annoy everyone that was hoping for the Diaz vs St. Pierre championship bout.

Let me know what you think.

Having a great time hanging out with the guys! Join us for the Super Bowl in Vegas next year.

It seems the UFC has a fight card every week now. Don’t get me wrong, I am not complaining. I love watching fights. It has become difficult to keep up on predictions though. Here are my predictions for this weekends free fights. Too bad Comcast doesn’t have Fuel TV. I am going miss on the pre-lim fights.

Joey Beltran by decision over Lavar Johnson

Charles Oliviera by decision over Eric Wisely

Cub Sawnson by 2nd round TKO over George Roop

Mike Russow by 2nd round KO over John Olav Einemo

Michael Johnson by decision over Shane Roller

Evan Dunham by decision over Nik Lentz

Demian Maia by 2nd round submission over Chris Weidman

Chael Sonnen by decision over Michael Bisping

Rashad Evans by decision over Phil Davis

UFC 142 Predictions

January 13, 2012 by [Fight Pastor]

Tomorrow night the UFC returns to Brazil with UFC 142. The card is pretty good. Unfortunately I will be missing it. Instead I will be watching (with most of America) Tim Tebow and the Broncos make a run at the Patriots.

Here are my predictions for tomorrow nights fights. I will be checking MMAJunkie often to see how the fights are going.

Felipe Arantes by decision over Antonio Carvalho

Mike Pyle by 2nd round submission over Ricardo Funch

Yuri Alcantara by 1st round TKO over Michihiro Omigawa

Ednaldo Oliveira by 1st round TKO over Gabriel Gonzaga

Thiago Tavares by decision over Sam Stout

Edson Barboza by decision over Terry Etim

Erick Silva by 2nd round TKO over Carlo Prater

Rousimar Palhares by 3rd round TKO over Mike Massenzio

Anthony Johnson by decision over Vitor Belfort

Jose Aldo by 2nd round KO over Chad Mendes

So what do you think? Start the debating, if you dare! I have changed my mind on the Vitor Belfort fight. I was interviewed by the Christian Post and previously picked Vitor. After Anthony Johnson missed weight by 11 pounds, it is obvious he is going into the fight MUCH larger than Vitor. I remember his fight against Dan Hardy well (I was ringside at that fight). All he did was take the much smaller Hardy down and lay on top of him for 3 rounds. I predict he will do the exact same thing against Vitor Belfort. If Vitor doesn’t take him out in with his initial onslaught in the first 60 seconds I think he will lose a very boring 3 round fight.

Dana White will then cut Anthony Johnson for not making weight and then following it up with a boring fight.
