CHAPTER 324: Predicting UFC 100


Alan Belcher vs Akiyama


Akiyama’s debut. This is gonna be interesting.
As much as I like for Akiyama to win, I think Belcher can just edge it out via a decision since it will be the Asian’s debut in the octagon, and Belcher’s the more experienced of the two in fighting in the octagon.

My Predicted Victor: Alan Belcher


Jon Fitch vs Paolo Thiago

I am going to pick Fitch as the winner via decision.

My Predicted Victor: Jon Fitch


Dan Henderson vs Michael Bisping

I pick the American to score a decision victory over the British.

My Predicted Victor: Dan Henderson


Georges St-Pierre vs Thiago Alves


I’m going for the champ to defend his title in a difficult fight against Alves.
If GSP wins in a convincing fashion, it will further serve up a notvh in consideration of the tireless P4P talk in the MMA community, that I’m sure of.

My Predicted Victor: Georges St-Pierre


Brock Lesnar vs Frank Mir

Let me deduce this fight in two separate simple analyses.
Frank Mir has to win by pulling out a submission, whereas Lesnar best keep it standing, avoid getting played into Mir’s BJJ traps and ensure he uses his power and strength (which I believe he is the stronger of the two) to bully Frank Mir.

I’m picking for Mir to get another submission once both end up on the ground.
The key for Mir is he has to be quick to capitalize on any holes or opening that Brock might leave since I think he’s still has a lot of things to master.

I believe the one who has a lot of pressure here could be Lesnar. If he loses it might be real difficult for him to win and also get back at some critics.

My Predicted Victor: Frank Mir
