UFC 100 predictions
UFC 100 Fight Predictions:
Dan Henderson vs. Mike Bisping:
After several weeks of putting up with the loquacious Bisping as coach of Team USA in the just concluded season of The Ultimate Fighter, Dan Henderson will finally get a chance to put his hands on UK finest fighter to date. One of the best wrestler there is in MMA, it’s no secret that Henderson will take Bisping down from the get go. In response, Bisping said Henderson could not take him down and that he’ll knock out the former Pride Champ. He can talk the talk, but if guys like Wanderlei Silva (in his prime) can’t knock Dan out, I don’t think he will.
Prediction: Henderson by knock out (Round 2)
George St. Pierre vs. Thiago Alves:
As dominant as he was against the great BJ Penn, it is in no way an indication as to what will transpire in tonight’s welterweight title match. GSP’s bread and butter are his wrestling and ground and pound. It has served him well against ordinary welterweights. But ordinary is something Alves isn’t. Alves, who walks around at over 200 pounds is as big a welterweight as they come and will present a lot of challenges for GSP. However, I still believe GSP will outlast the young pit bull.
Prediction: GSP by unanimous decision
Brock Lesnar vs. Frank Mir:
Forget about what happened the last time because it won’t matter anymore. Frank has significantly improved his stand up game so Brock won’t be able to catch him with those straight leads and Brock should be more relaxed when he finds himself in a tight spot with a couple fights under his belt since that loss. Both men have a lot to prove so what it all boils down to who wants it more. Brock is a big favorite but I’m going out on a limb to say that Mir will take this.
Prediction: Mir by submission (Round 3)
I’ll be back later tonight after the smoke has cleared. Peace!
