UFC 114 Thoughts/Predictions

Jackson V Evans
Theses two have talked major stuff back and forth and it appears they truly don’t like each other, and really want to smash the other with bad intentions. They were supposed to fight late last year after coaching the season of TUF but Rampage (Jackson) cancelled so he could star in the A Team movie (playing Mr. T’s former role). Anyway, I am pulling for Rampage cuz I’ve never been a big fan of Rashad’s (I was at the UFC last year when Machida knocked him out and it was great!) However, having said that, I’m going to have to predict that Rashad will take it. I think he is too fast for Rampage, moves well, and is used to going against big guys (he won the TUF show in the heavyweight div). He will probably used movement to keep Rampage off balance. Rampage is big and powerful with knockout power. However, he tends to loop his punches a bit so I think it’ll be easier for Rashad to defend against them (if he connects with a few if them well though, look out). Like Rashad, Quinton has good wrestling ability, as shown in his fight against Dan Henderson. Hopefully, he has learned how defend against leg kicks (think Forest), as I’m sure Rashad will be throwing them. It has the makings of a good fight. We’ll see what happens.

Michael Bisbing V Dan Miller looks like a good match up. Think Miller will take it.

Antonio Rogerio Nogueira v Jason Brilz should be good. Predict Nogueira will take it.

Diego Sanchez V John Hathaway Should be a good one. No predictions there.

Amir Sadollah v Dong Hyun Kim in the prelims should be good.
