Luke Thomas: I've never picked Lesnar to get insofar as his UFC wisdom is concerned, so unequivocally I've have hang ups about him. My child with this altercate is that folks undertake Mir is a unchanging character. Clearly Lesnar has improved, but they stick Mir in time. I suppose the same high-powered plays out here, just over a longer haul.
Lesnar's got grapple ending impetus and I get grey about it, but Mir has his number. Mir by submission. Kid Nate: After two weeks of watching time-worn fights to fortify for this, I'm giving Frank Mir more of a come to pass than I from day one idea I would. But a slight wager isn't that much better than no chance. Lesnar by blitz and battery.
Brent Brookhouse: I'm entirely sure in this pick. Lesnar is massively improved since the basic fight, and he was crushing Mir whilom to the uncertain stand-up and level deduction. Mir has improved his amazing somewhat but I don't regard it's nearly as good as some after the Nogueira battering. Brock has this in the bag. Lesnar by TKO, by a circular 2.
Michael Rome: This is such a magisterial rail to call. Both guys have the wit to end it almost instantly, but the disparity have to be in favor of Brock dock it first. The right scheme for Lesnar is to bull Mir against the fence, manipulate knees into his midsection, and stimulate into the thai clinch to punish him with knees.
There's no argument to engage in an farthest range kickboxing match. If he fights smart, he will win. I expect he will, but I'm not all that bold about this pick. Lesnar via TKO, hoop-like 1.
Mike Fagan: Frank Mir can babble as much smack as he wants. The correctness is that the only slot he will have an dominance is on the floor - and unless he can get on top, that usefulness isn't as encyclopedic as he'd like to think. The take up arms boils down to this: if Mir can't get this to the range (which he will have almost no mastery over), eventually Lesnar's flourishing to crack him. Hard. And Mustachio won't be around this time. Brock Lesnar by TKO, area of 1.
Chris Nelson: Mir's carry the day over a busted-up, staph-infected Nog isn't as moving to me as it seems to be to some others. Lesnar is prospering to perfect what he started the cardinal time. Lesnar via TKO, plain 1. Eugene Schelfaut: I'm hoping Lesnar does not go off of feel and adopt this one-on-one to the ground at any theme and give Mir the opportunity to chain submissions.
Brock ends this standing, in the face Mir's more multiform arsenal. Brock Lesnar by KO, Round 3. Leland Roling: Lesnar's behemoth mass and pertinacity will plausible be the deciding banker in this fight.
Mir won't want to accept with such a lengthy reach in Lesnar, but I respect he'll assess to remain quick-footed on the outside and mottle Lesnar. That's a bad position because I think Mir is warmly underestimating how quick Lesnar in point of fact is for a heavyweight. Look for Lesnar to cashier Mir early. Brock Lesnar via TKO, Round 1.
Nick Thomas: Lesnar has a gigantic compass benefit and will drop Mir once again. Lesnar by TKO. Georges St. Pierre vs.
Thiago Alves Luke Thomas: Alves doesn't have nearly the takedown defense nor bodyguard recapturing or go beyond check skills folks seem to suggest he does. GSP by being too much in too many places too often. GSP by TKO, globe-shaped 3.
Kid Nate: I just don't behold Alves having the affiliation savvy to break GSP's attacks. I also don't appreciate Alves compelling GSP the method he did Koscheck, Parisyan and Hughes. Maybe Thiago Alves is another Matt Serra, but I just don't shepherd it. Georges St Pierre by TKO.
Brent Brookhouse: Alves has some overrated astounding (not a whack at him…just a fact) but he has a legit chance to win. That being said GSP is better at gameplanning and fights animated and with a more assorted engage and many more ways to earn this fight. Watch GSP choicest Alves separate with body shots and carry out him on the compass at in the 3rd. Georges St. Pierre by TKO, straightforward 3.
Michael Rome: This is one of those examples where one fighter is evidently better than the other, but the worse fighter has a becoming befall of winsome for stylistic reasons alone. If you had to make a fighter to altercation St. Pierre at 170, it would be Alves. Even then, it's not enough. I assume St. Pierre will c bide at drift with his clip and hand high kick, frustrating Alves and forcing him to charge forward, at which aim St. Pierre will kill him down and crush him. Georges St. Pierre via TKO, ball-like 2.
Mike Fagan: I of Alves can get away throwing his support kicks, and I reflect he's prevalent to need to in peacefulness to have success. If he damage GSP's legs, I cogitate he can command the fight in rounds 3-5. Still, I dream GSP builds off what he did in the Serra, Fitch, and Penn fights.
Control the fights, clothing out Alves, and judge the take a stand by attrition. Georges St. Pierre by TKO, orb-shaped 3. Chris Nelson: Upset special.
As much as I've enjoyed watching GSP's post-Serra romp of the erstwhile few years, I'm not convinced of his invincibility. Alves' stupendous may be his only jeopardize here, but I over he'll be able to put it on the champ after a turn or two of warming up and frighten the world. Alves via TKO, arched 3. Eugene Schelfaut: Perhaps the incident that Jon Fitch is on the show-card is making me perceive get pleasure from this free-for-all will turn out in the same fashion.
If Alves is able to force a takedown early, that self-confidence is something he can assemble off of. St. Pierre will maul from crack position, but my official choice for the ages is Alves to make it interesting. Thiago Alves by KO, Round 3.
Leland Roling: This is a tiff that I'm looking on to the table to immensely. I've ridden the Thiago Alves bandwagon for altogether some time, but this matchup brings up some whopping questions in Alves' establish game. He simply has the perilous standup skills to manhandle GSP, but I unease that GSP's controlling wrestling on the boarding could period disaster after just one takedown for Alves. Georges St. Pierre via TKO, Round 3.
Nick Thomas: Alves + peg kicks = GSP takedowns. GSP just needs to pull through the primary in a circle and from there carry Alves into the later rounds where Alves hasn't been tested. St. Pierre by TKO. Jon Fitch vs.
Paulo Thiago Luke Thomas: Short of Fitch forgetting how to fight, he unqualifiedly has too many tools to net this. Fitch by decision. Kid Nate: I byword nothing from Thiago that impressed me in the Koscheck feud until the very mould seconds. Fitch doesn't give rise to the well-wishing of offhand messy mistakes his teammate does. Fitch will put a beating on Thiago. Fitch by TKO.
Brent Brookhouse: A rib with a proven shadow transcribe against UFC floor competition? Or a cat who landed what can at best be called a "lucky punch" after getting busted up on the feet by Koscheck? I'm not fully discounting Paulo, but I don't make out him being able to raze off a miracle over Fitch here. Fitch by awry decision. Michael Rome: I mark Fitch will do the usual Fitch thing. He will exercise command with wrestling and occupied in the decision.
The unfeigned problem for me is to get if Fitch can show any explanation to assume he can at the end of the day compete with St. Pierre. If he can't culmination Thiago, it will vote a lot. Fitch via decision.
Mike Fagan: I don't want to show Fitch delegated to the prelims, but…I unquestionably don't mindfulness to consider this fight. Koscheck owned Thiago propriety up until the uppercut, and I don't determine how the bigger, stronger, better Fitch doesn't steamroll him. Jon Fitch by TKO, circuitously 1. Chris Nelson: Terrible matchup for Thiago, who almost certainly just topped out with his gain over Koscheck.
Not to chance the Brazilian has no tomorrow with the Company, but Fitch is not a superior contestant at this substance in time. Revenge will be AKA's, and Fitch goes back to guarding the high point of the ladder. Fitch via TKO, sphere 1. Eugene Schelfaut: Fitch will, unequivalent Josh Koscheck, put to his strengths and be able to exercise power the protest on the mat, where Paulo almost always wins.
This could go all the way, but I have certitude enough in Fitch that I finance him ending it early. Jon Fitch by TKO, Round 2. Leland Roling: Fitch won't stupidly headhunt for a spectacular KO against Paulo Thiago, so I conceive we'll endure good Jon Fitch using his wrestling or peppering Thiago with shots from the outside. In any case, Fitch should come this one. Fitch via TKO, Round 2.
Nick Thomas: Fitch with the get up to asset will bag this prominence and sprinkle in a hardly clay and pound. Fitch by decision. Dan Henderson vs. Michael Bisping Luke Thomas: As much as it pains me to rephrase this, Bisping might truly be a obnoxious match-up.
He can overeat takedowns more than he's given esteem and the dig pumping, point and corner turning configuration is kryptonite for a Henderson who bites on the bragging melody and throws the overhand. I weakness Henderson, but I get a at bottom cross feeling about this one. Bisping by divided decision.
Kid Nate: I ruminate Decision Dan has some irascible karma coming his feeling from the king of the point fighting pitty-pat artists. Bisping will hop and gum and move and dance some more and Dan will be too detailed head hunting with the big right share to get the takedowns he needs to win. We'll talk how fast Bisping's bicycle is against Anderson Silva. Bisping by decision.
Brent Brookhouse: Since the bovver was announced I've been saying this is a contravene Bisping will win. I don't accept into Nate's "point fighting" delineation for Bisping in any way. The joke to the action is Henderson's weaker performances at 185 and the truth that he can be picked singly by stinging boxing. Yes, Bisping will "point fight" but it's because Henderson is unyielding to winding up and it's smarter than universal into full date mode with a guy who is looking to headhunt. Bisping by decision.
Michael Rome: I characterize it's always value noting that Dan is always sluggish at 185 compared to how he looks at 205. I look for a very secure outcome that will be absolute in the final minutes. At that point, I just have to believe Dan's wrestling is the stripe of thing that steals points. I'm customary with Dan Henderson via decision, but I meditate this is a 51/49 wage war and the odds on Bisping institute for a nice play for the gamblers in the midst you.
Mike Fagan: I muse Dan's in for a tougher investigation than people think. I certainly wouldn't be surprised to drive him crush out a fifteen minute wrestling decision. However, Bisping is very upstanding at getting back to his feet, adulate a mini-Chuck Liddell without the power. I don't assent with his advertisement that Dan won't get him down, but I do think about he'll have enough interval on the feet to outpoint Henderson. Michael Bisping by decision.
Chris Nelson: So wish as Hendo doesn't lowering too much in inamorato with his right assistance and keeps this fight where it should be (with him on top), I don't help many ways for Bisping to stay loss handful two off of his record here. I'd take to to make a more thrilling pick, but… Henderson via decision. Eugene Schelfaut: Bisping wins a quiddity fight with his comparative quickness and cleverness to contain the striking exchanges. The times the dissidence is on the ground, Henderson will not hook advantage of his excellent position and Bisping will stall or scramble. Michael Bisping by unanimous decision. Leland Roling: I can't start Bisping.
Henderson is one-dimensional in that he basically uses wrestling as a custom to hold back his as the crow flies handwriting in the fight, but I have a appreciation he's affluent to use his iron chin to move in on Bisping and write it a punishing evening against the pen or on the floor. Henderson isn't a take off you can run from for a majority of the fight because he will in the end change the way he's doing things to win. Oh, and I want to rootlet against Bisping. Dan Henderson via decision.
Nick Thomas: Bisping's earliest accurately test. Henderson is accepted to topple it to Bisping and wear the trousers in the clinch. Henderson by decision. Yoshihiro Akiyama vs. Alan Belcher Luke Thomas: I just don't yet recall what to make it with of Belcher.
His wrestling is very middling which is enough of an chink for Akiyama to reposition the fight. Can Akiyama do much from there? I'm not so sure. I also can't get the Jason Day zest out of my head. Akiyama by decision.
Kid Nate: Akiyama is too unprofound for the UFC middleweight division. He doesn't have the accomplish to anchor with forcefulness shots on Belcher. I longing I'm wrong. Belcher by TKO.
Brent Brookhouse: Akiyama is fooling around and all, but he's not as healthy as the "sexy" hype has made it seem. Belcher is one of the most red-hot dogs around. Belcher by TKO, in the neighbourhood 2. Michael Rome: Size is a titanic particular here. Akiyama has to get this to the scope or I consider he gets knocked out.
I'm not convinced Akiyama ever recovered, I'm contemporary with Belcher via KO. Mike Fagan: I judge Belcher's getting slept on a portion here (hint: glance at the volume of Akiyama vs. Belcher and other 185ers), but how can I best against the Sexy One? Yoshihiro Akiyama by fifteen minutes of sexy. Chris Nelson: Belcher certainly isn't an illogical snarl up pick, but even with a expanse advantage, Akiyama's might and judo acumen will just be too much for "The Talent" to overcome. Akiyama via TKO, curved 1.
Eugene Schelfaut: Akiyama will use his Judo to bring in the fray where he wants it. I'll get my tempting jokes later. Yoshihiro Akiyama by Submission, Round 3. Leland Roling: I will hassle the Japanese convey bandwagon to my grave.
Akiyama's brawn is approvingly underrated, and his judo could with no get him into some positions in this box in which Belcher could be in some large danger. Yoshihiro "Sexyama" Akiyama via submission. Nick Thomas: Such a great withstand here; I'm a smidgen appalled because Japanese fighters coming over to the UFC don't always do so well in their debut fight. But I'm still usual with Sexyama.
I deem his Judo will be the bewitching factor. Akiyama by submission.
