UFC 167 Picks

Okay, here's my picks. There's a logical thought process behind some of these, and some are just pure gut feeling. We'll see how I fare.

Villante - UD

Pettis - 2d Rd TKO

High - 2d Rd Sub

Figueroa - UD

Ebersole - 1st Rd KO

Herman - UD

Dunham - UD

Elliott - 1st Rd KO

Woodley - 2d Rd TKO
Woodley will need to keep ahead in the striking game. He needs to get off first and fast. Force Kos to shoot and capitalize on the uppercuts and knees. Kos' chin isn't his best asset, and Woodley needs to remind him of that.

Lawler - 1st Rd TKO
Macdonald is another GSP. Lawler needs to get inside and stay inside. Work the dirty boxing and Thai clinch. He's got heavy hands, and just needs to find a home for them on Macdonald's chin. Strike early and often, and it's lights out MacD.

Sonnen - 2nd Rd SUB
Chael can out wrestle and out grind Rashad. Evans has never been the same since he was with Jackson. That destroyed his ability to fight to win. Chael needs to use his hands to set up the takedown and work his ground and pound magic. Rashad will ultimately give up his back, and Chael hits the RNC. Game over.

Hendricks - 2nd Rd TKO
I see this finish looking similar to Serra's 1st round TKO... Except in the second round, and the hits will be significantly harder. I think Johny is more explosive with his strikes. He strikes to finish, versus GSP striking as a set up. He's got to back Geroges against the cage and keep him there. Drop some well placed bombs and take home that strap.

UFC 165 Quick Picks

Here's my picks for UFC 165. Unfortunately, I won't get to watch the action unfold, as I'll be at the lake (Truman Lake for you Missouri folks) for the weekend, doing mass amounts of damage to the crappie population... I hope.

Well, here's what I've got:

- Guelmino

- Caceres

- Prazeres

- Makdessi

- Gagnon

- Thompson

- Menjivar

- Jury

- Nurmagomadov

- Philippou

- Mitrione

- Barao

- Gustafsson

We shall see how the event turns out. I have no doubt that Mitrione will more than likely KO Schaub, and that Jones chin will be tested tomorrow night. I feel Jones will ultimately get TKO'd. I expect a good night of fights, but then again, I always do. Enjoy them on my behalf and I'll see you on the flip side! Going to try and land an interview with WSOF frontman Ray Sefo sometime in the near future.

UFC 164 Quick Picks

Okay, okay, I know this is my second quick pick in a row. It's been a crazy work week, but I'm going to at least give you something. And I did call 9 correctly Wednesday night, so there's that... Here's my picks for tomorrow nights showdown:

- Hamman
- Iaquinta
- Palelei
- Kang
- Krauss
- Elliott
- Varner
- Poirier
- Vera
- Guida
- Mir
- Pettis

There you go. No frills. No fuss. Those are my picks. No matter the results, it's going to be one heck of a fight card, from bottom to top.

UFC Fight Night Quick Picks

It's been a while, but I'm back... with quick picks. Read 'em, agree, or don't. Here's what I've got:

- Cummings

- Trujillo

- High

- Elkins

- Edwards

- Abedi

- Tavares

- Mizugaki

- McGee

- Gastelum

- dos Anjos

- Condit

Bam. There they are. I'll be DVRing this card, since I have to work a real job. Maybe I'll snag some new interviews soon. Stay tuned...

UFC 158 Picks

Here's my pics for UFC 158. I don't know why everyone does them backwards... I'm starting with the first fight on the card, not the last. I certainly hope this doesn't confuse anyone. If it does, you don't need to be reading what I'm writing anyway...

Roop v. Duran - Duran - Sub - Rd 2

Dillashaw v. Tamura - Dillashaw - TKO - Rd 1

Story v. Mulhern - Story - Unan. Dec.

Makdessi v. Cruickshank - Cruickshank - Unan. Dec.

Miller v. Mein - Miller - Sub - Rd 1

Carvalho v. Elkins - Elkins - TKO - Rd 2

Cote v. Voelker - Cote - KO - Rd 1

Ricci v. Fletcher - Fletcher - Sub - Rd 3

Ring v. Camozzi - Camozzi - Unan. Dec.

Ellenberger - Marquardt - Marquardt - Sub - Rd 2

Condit v. Hendricks - Hendricks - TKO - Rd 2

GSP v. Diaz - Diaz - TKO - Rd 4

That's what I've got. Straight from the gut. Didn't think about or over think these. Went with my first reaction. We'll see how good my gut is... At any rate, there are going to be some great fights!!
