UFC 102 Picks

Evan Dunham over Marcus Aurelio by decision
Mark Munoz over Nick Catone by TKO
Tim Hague over Todd Duffee by KO
Justin McCully over Mike Russow by decision
Gabriel Gonzaga over Chris Tuchscherer by KO (head kick)
Aaron Simpson over Ed Herman by KO
Krzysztof Soszynski over Brandon Vera by KO
Damien Maia over Nate Marquardt by submission
Chris Leben over Jake Rosholt by KO

I can’t make up my mind about Jardine vs. Silva… I’m thinking its a slugfest until someone gets KO’d in round 2.

I also am thinking that Randy Couture will knock out Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira.

UFC Fight Night Thoughts…

First off, you should go to www.FightForTheTroops.com and donate something to the cause. This was a fantastic event with some awesome finishes and great fights.

Joe Rogan said Jim Miller is a freight train (aka Frate Trane?). Jim Miller definitely looked good, but how about Wiman’s chin? Holy crap that dude takes a punch.

Nate Loughran was taking some good shots from Tim Credeur too, but failed to answer the bell for round three.

OMG @ Razak Al-Hassan getting his arm torqued by Steve Cantwell. That looked nasty, I wanna see a .GIF… also, LOL @ putting a dude with an Al-Quaeda name in a “Fight For The Troops” show.

Damn, there have really been some good fights tonight, and some great finishes. Jonathan Goulet got mess up by that right hand, and Mike Swick adds another quick victory to his resume.

BRUTALITY Ben Saunders with those knees! Homeboy he was fighting, Brandon Wolff, didn’t have a chance once he ended up in that muay thai clinch.

And for the worst thing of the night, poor Corey Hill got his leg broke off. Gnarly gnarly gnarly. My thoughts are with him and I really hope he heals from that injury 100% and is able to fight again. That leg break is a limb-threatening injury.
