Hello again everyone,
Thanks to King Jay Entertainment for giving us a shout out. Coming up next UFC 100 predictions for the BIGGEST NIGHT OF THE YEAR and it all goes down live tonight!!
It's the most-hyped UFC event of all-time with a stacked card and more media attention than the first 60 UFCs combined. Here's a double shot of Scrapyard predictions for the historic event:
THEE MAIN EVENT OF THE EVENING...
UFC Undisputed World Heavyweight Title Match(C) Brock Lesner vs. (Interim) Frank Mir
Jose Rodriguez
In their first outing, Mir played the cat-and-mouse game until he could isolate a leg and grab a heel hook. Lesner has since learned a lot, beating Heath Herring and winning the belt from Randy Couture. Look for an early explosion of hammer fists from the giant former pro wrestler. PREDICTION: Lesnar by first-round KO.
Neil Springer
While some say Mir got lucky in his first fight with Lesner, I stand firm that Mir was able to stay composed and capitalize on an opportunity. Don't expect Lesner to make the same mistake again. He'll be patient and focus on position control. If Lesner can keep his head on straight, he'll put away Mir. PREDICTION: Lesner by second-round KO/TKO.
THEE CO-MAIN EVENT OF THE EVENING 2...
(C) Georges St. Pierre (18-2) vs. Thiago Alves (16-3)
Jose Rodriguez
GSP has gone through the who's-who of the welterweight class, while Alves only has a couple of big-name wins. But the bulky Brazilian has knockout power. Look for GSP to neutralize Alves' striking in the early rounds, then use his cardio to ride out the fight. PREDICTION: St. Pierre by decision.
Neil Springer
Alves is in the best spot to shock the world tonight. He's bigger and a more dangerous striker than GSP. If Alves keeps the fight standing, he could land a knockout blow. But GSP's striking is crisp, his takedown wrestling is superb and his transitioning is deadly. PREDICTION: St. Pierre by third-round KO/TKO.
Jon Fitch (18-3) vs. Paulo Thiago (11-0)
Jose Rodriguez
No one can question Fitch's heart or chin following his outing with GSP. Thiago is tough, having knocked out Josh Koscheck, but Fitch will be looking to make a statement and avenge his teammate's loss. PREDICTION: Fitch by second-round TKO.
Neil Springer
Fitch is looking for revenge against Thiago for his stoppage of fellow American Top Team member Koscheck. Thiago has heavy hands and is skilled on the ground. Fitch has heart and will show up in great shape. PREDICTION: Fitch by decision.
Dan Henderson (24-7) vs. Michael Bisping (17-1)
Jose Rodriguez
Bisping has a solid standup game, but has never been tested on the ground. Henderson is strong standing (he's KO'd Wanderlei Silva) and has an Olympic wrestling pedigree. There is no safe place for Bisping here. PREDICTION: Henderson by second-round TKO.
Neil Springer
Henderson's usual style of moving forward, throwing huge punches and then shooting for takedowns may work against him. Bisping can keep backtracking and throw jabs.Henderson needs to bait him in, get him down and beat him up. PREDICTION: Henderson by decision.
Yoshihiro Akiyama (12-1) vs. Alan Belcher (14-5)
Jose Rodriguez
It's judo expert Akiyama's first fight in the UFC after a proven career in DREAM and K-1. Belcher has been susceptible to first-time UFCers. Remember the Jason Day loss? PREDICTION: Akiyama by second-round submission.
Neil Springer
Belcher has the edge in the striking department, but Akiyama's no slouch. Expect the two to trade blows early, but Akiyama will get this to the ground and submit Belcher. PREDICTION: Akiyama by first-round submission.
Stephan Bonnar (11-5) vs. Mark Coleman (15-9)
Jose Rodriguez
It's the old vs. the new UFC with Hall of Famer Coleman taking on TUF 1 runner-up Bonnar. Coleman is a powerful slugger, but Bonnar's Brazilian jiu-jitsu should rule the day. PREDICTION: Bonnar by second-round submission.
Neil Springer
Bonnar must be very light on his feet and pick his shots. If he overcommits to the attack, he'll get taken down. I see Coleman taking this to the mat and pounding out Bonnar. PREDICTION: Coleman by second-round KO/TKO.
