UFC 113 picks

 

Rua

Daley

Kimbo

[Knucklehead7]

My UFC 113 Picks (from top to bottom):

 

Undercard:

Jason "The Athlete" MacDonald over John Salter

"Zenko" Yoshiyuki Yoshida over Mike "The Joker" Guymon

"Filthy" Tom Lawlor over Joe Doerksen, and I have to wonder what craziness Lawlor will have in his entrance

Johnny Hendricks over TJ Grant

"The Mexicutioner" Joey Beltran over Tim Hague

"The Irish Hand Grenade" Marcus Davis over Jonathan Goulet

 

Main Card:

 

5. "The Predator" Patrick Cote vs. Alan "The Talent" Belcher

 

This is a tough call, because in my eyes Belcher is pretty inconsistent and Cote is coming off that injury from his fight with the fighter formerly known as Anderson Silva back in UFC 90. Cage rust will definitely be a question mark for Cote, but he always has that big right hand to starch him. The only question is will Belcher be too fast for someone who's been inactive for almost 18 months. Cote by TKO

 

4. Sam "Hands of Stone" Stout vs. "Lil' Heathen" Jeremy Stephens

 

Classic striker vs. brawler matchup here. It's gonna be a great stand-up fight, but I don't see Stout giving Stephens the same opening Rafael Dos Anjos gave him when he launched his Uppercut From Hell. Stout by decision

 

3. Kevin "Kimbo Slice" Ferguson vs. Matt "Meathead" Mitrione

 

A pair of inexperienced heavies who are both willing, able, and eager to bang. The biggest thing I wanna see in this fight is if both Slice & Meathead have improved since after TUF 10. Being in good camps (Slice with American Top Team, Meathead with Roufusport Fight Team), I expect significant strides in terms of at least striking. It's really hard to tell, since both haven't had a lot of fights to benchmark their performances, but if Slice hasn't improved cardio-wise, we just might see Meathead be more popular than the actual winner of TUF 10, Roy Nelson. Meathead slices Slice via TKO

 

2. Josh Koscheck vs. Paul "Semtex" Daley

 

This will be fun, for damn sure. Of course everybody expects Kos to bait Semtex with his standup to set up his takedowns, but if Kos does decide to stand and trade with Daley I think that's a huge mistake. For all the KO's & TKO's that Kos has accumulated recently, with all due respect Frank Trigg and Yoshida ain't no Paul Daley. I'm giving this to Daley, only because Koscheck's got me believing that he's gonna do a Frank Shamrock and prove a f*cking point. Daley by TKO, getting the TUF 12 coaching job alongside Georges St. Pierre, at which point GSP comes in and says he's not impressed by his performance.

 

1. UFC Undisputed Light Heavyweight Championship: Lyoto "The Dragon" Machida © vs. Mauricio "Shogun" Rua

 

Finally, a fight that's guaranteed to not suck.

 

Everybody is saying that Shogun finally has the kryptonite to derail Machida, but I still highly doubt that. For as much as we want to dissect Machida's game and have it clash directly with Shogun's, it won't give a clear answer (for myself, at least) as to who'll come out on top this time. From the training videos I've seen from the Machida camp he's improved on his angles and his conditioning, and from the Universidad De Luta camp I've seen Shogun work more on his combinations and his range for kicks. A lot of scenarios can play out in this one: either Shogun keeps the pace fast and make Machida backpedal like the last time, or vice versa, or maybe Shogun might take this to the ground or vice versa. Or Anderson Silva jumps the Octagon and hits Shogun with a steel chair, at which point Chael Sonnen comes in and gives chase. Or Dana White does a Vince McMahon and screws either one. I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S GONNA HAPPEN.

 

Who knows? We might need a Machida - Shogun 3 after all is said and done.

 

Shogun by RAZOR THIN decision. Machida - Shogun 3? I'd hit that.

[Knucklehead7]

Too late. Tom Lawlor has officially become GREATNESS. Or Dan Severn.
