UFC: 100

Alright you stupid idiots. I’ve never known such a worthless bunch of MMA fans in my entire life… lucky for you I’m about to impart some knowledge on you. For the better. So get ready to bet some money and have some cash in your pocket, here we GO!!

ufc-100-1Champ Brock Lesnar (3-1) vs. interim champ Frank Mir (12-3) (heavyweight title unification)

Brock “country boy” Lesnar is a monster.  He is coming into this fight on a 2 fight win streak, normally that would not be impressive, HOWEVER, he has only has 4 fights, so basically, he’s hitting his stride.  For a main event, this is kind of a sad match, Lesnar is strong, & fast, for a guy that comes into this fight at 265 lbs. he is basically the flash.  His strength is his strength, funny huh!?  Lesnar is a freak show fighter of sorts, he beat the legend Randy Couture, for the Heavy Weight Title, however many people thought Randy was WAY outsized in that fight.  Mir is coming off an ass beating of Antonio Nogueria. Mir killed Nogueria in all aspects of the game. Nog (Nogueria) has been widely considered the top 2, or 3 heavy weights in the WORLD, so basically Mir beating him is a great accomplishment. Mir is a former champion who got into a bad motorcycle accident and had to give up his title for a year while he went to rehab. Mir came back slow after his accident, but came on VERY strong in his last few fights. Frank Mir fought Brock Lesnar back in the beginning of 2008, and beat him. Many people think Mir is an up and coming legend in this sport, either way Lesnar is in for a fight. This is a tough fight to call on paper, but if you look at the facts/skills of each fighter, I think you can pick a winner, this is probably the biggest match in UFC history (with the exception of the next fight*).  Mir’s biggest problem before his accident was his cardio, if he can correct it, he WILL win. However, I don’t think this will be his night; Lesnar will win by overpowering him.

Winner: Brock Lesnar via 2nd round TKO

gspChamp Georges St. Pierre(12-2) vs. Thiago Alves(16-3) (for welterweight title)

GSP Vs Thiago Alves has the possibility to be the fight of the year. GSP has been called the #1 pound for pound fighter in mixed martial arts. I agree with that classification. He has beaten some of the best Welter Weight fighters in the world.  GSP is a god amongst men; He has the best “game planner” in MMA in Greg Jackson.  GSP, as far as I’m concerned is the best fighter in MMA. Alves is a heavy handed puncher who A LOT of people think can KO GSP, 11 of his 16 wins are by KO.  Alves is a great fighter, who has also beaten a lot of great fighters. If this fight was on any other card it would be the headline hands down.  These 2 fighters are both amazing, GSP has lost twice, once to Matt Hughes, and once to Matt Serra, if you do the MMA math he won’t lose because Thiago Alves name isn’t “Matt” Alves.  Alves has a chance to win this fight if he can catch GSP with a good combo or some of his deadly kicks/knees. As I said before, I think this fight will go down as fight of the year, a not to miss match.

Winner: Georges St. Pierre via 4th round TKO

Jon Fitch (18-3) vs. Paulo Thiago (11-0)

This is an exciting fight but one that you can probably skip if shown.  Jon Fitch is the 2nd best welter weight fighter in the UFC today.  Thiago was a great fighter in other organizations, came to the UFC and beat Josh Koshcheck in his first fight.  Even by beating the 5th best welterweight, Paulo Thiago still doesn’t have what it takes to be Jon Fitch.  Don’t let his record fool you coming into this fight, Paulo will not submit Jon Fitch. Jon Fitch has beaten much better submission experts than Paulo. This fight is probably as close as it comes to the lock of the night; HOWEVER, I’m saving that for a later fight.

Winner: Jon Fitch via unanimous decision

henderson-bispingMichael Bisping (17-1) vs. Dan Henderson (24-7)

Alright all you “The Ultimate Fighter” fans, this is the match you’ve all been waiting for. Bisping and Henderson were last seasons 2 coaches on TUF, they are both coming into this fight with a title shot against Anderson Silva on there minds.  The president of the UFC has all but promise the winner of this fight a title shot against Silva.  Bisping is a tough fighter who will try his best to outlast you in a fight, Most of his wins are by KO/TKO, but he’s been known to pepper with jabs and hooks till he can knock you out.  His only loss coming at a Light Heavy Weight, and to former champ Rashad Evans. Bisping has not lost as a middle weight in his career.  As much shit as Bisping gets he’s a solid fighter, a bit boring, but good none the less, I think coming into this fight his biggest challenge will be his time off.  Bisping hasn’t punched someone in almost a year; I think that will come into play. Dan Henderson is the former Light Heavy Weight Champ, and Middle Weight champ. He comes into this fight as the veteran.  Henderson has beaten the likes of Wanderlie Silva, Vitor Belfort, Ninja Rua, Renzo Gracie, Babalu, & Nogueria. Henderson is a pioneer of this sport; he’s been fighting MMA for about 12 years and is turning 40 years old next month.  Henderson is also an old school wrestling fighter, most of his 24 wins are by decision, in fact Dan Henderson hasn’t finished a fight EVER in the UFC, his last KO or submission win was in 2007.  Even with that being said Henderson is still a legend.  Bisping is coming in as the larger fighter, but Henderson can easily neutralize that advantage by taking it to the ground. Personally I think this fight will be kind of boring.

Winner: Dan Henderson via split decision


yoshihiro-akiyama-dream-k-1-ufcYoshihiro Akiyama (12-1) vs. Alan Belcher (14-5)

Holy shit! This is the fight I’ve been looking forward to since I knew this man was coming to the UFC. Akiyama, or as his fans like to call him “SexyYama” is fighting in the UFC for the first time.  This man is a super star over seas, think Chuck Liddell, but Asian.  This man is an amazing; he’s beaten a lot of great overseas fighters.  He’s pretty even when it comes to his skills, he can knock you out, or submit you. His weakness in this fight will be ring rust. SexyYama hasn’t fought since September of 2008.  Alan Belcher is pitter in this fight to play spoiler yet again. Belcher played spoiler back in January when he beat then overseas start Denis Kang.  Belcher certainly can win this fight if he comes in and sticks to a good game plan.  However, I think he got lucky in the Kang fight, and I think Aikyama knocks belcher clean out, this is your lock of the night. That all being said, I’m making a future prediction right here, Yoshihiro Akiyama will be the man to beat Anderson Silva in the UFC.

Winner: Yoshihiro “SexyYama” Akiyama via 1st round KO
