UFC 126: “Everday, I’m expect Jesus, Bro” Predictions

Anderson Silva vs. Vitor Belfort: Belfort by TKO, rd. 1

I am fully prepared to eat these words. Logic would dictate that betting against the champ at this point is foolhardy, but I got a feeling.

Forrest Griffin vs. Rich Franklin: Griffin by UD

I am stoked on this fight. I’ll take Forrest using his size to wear Rich down.

Jake Ellenberger vs. Carlos Eduardo Rocha: Ellenberger by UD

I would love to see Rocha sink a sub (because I just love seeing subs in general), but Carlos has Kris McCray and a bunch of guys no one’s heard of on his resume… he certainly hasn’t fought anyone with wrestling like Ellenberger.

Jon Jones vs. Ryan Bader: Jones by TKO, rd. 2

This fight is going to be amazing. I’ll take Jones having just enough defensive wrestling to avoid getting smothered out long enough to land.

Miguel Torres vs. Antonio Banuelos: Torres by UD

It’ll be a good scrap, and Miguel isn’t the pound-for-pound contender (or even title contender) he once was, but he should still take this.

David Cerrone vs. Paul Kelly: Cerrone by UD

I, uhh, guess Dana and Joe Silva like Cerrone or something.

Chad Mendes vs. Michihiro Omigawa: Mendes by UD

I want Omigawa to win this so badly… but I see takedown, little-to-no-action, stand up, repeat happening for three rounds.

Norifumi Yamamoto vs. Demetrious Johnson: Kid by KO, rd. 1

Sometimes you gotta go with your brain (see above), and sometimes, you gotta go with your heart. Knock him out, Kid! Ganbatte!!
