UFC 100 Predictions

Ladies and gentlemen it is almost that time! UFC 100  is going to be a spectacular card featuring 2.5 super-fights on July 11th! For those of you looking for an inside edge on the match-ups, look no further than this post. As none of you know I am a big time MMA fan (and potential competitor). With that said lets get to the guessin’.

Lesnar v Mir: For this fight, I see Mir taking it again. Now I know everyone thinks that Brock has learned from his previous loss and will come back with punches that will crush mountains, I beg you to vote Mir. Frank narrowly won against Brock in their last encounter. I don’t think Mir will underestimate the strength, skill, and strength that Brock possesses this time. I see Mir doing a lot of in and out striking, landing opportune blows and sidestepping away from Brock. This tactic will keep Brock off balance, and unable to plant and throw a good power shot on Mir. Between the two, I give the better hands award to Brock so Mir will need to dodge/ parry. Id say if Mir can dance and strike for 1.5 rounds he has the fight in the bag, because Brock is built like an SUV, Massive and Powerful but terrible MPG. 

St-Pierre v Alves: This is going to be the most entertaining fight of the night hands down. These guys are no joke, and will come in ready to bang. Don’t expect any 1.3 min feel out session in round number one. I believe Alves will try to be the initial aggressor and set the pace. I say this because Alves is fighting a more experienced fighter so Alves will not want Pierre fighting in his comfort zone. Pierre on the other hand is finally fighting an opponent who is as physically impressive as himself since Hughes in 07. I imagine Pierre will try to counter more often than setup. This fight I see Pierre going for a spider vs fly tactic. Let the fly trap himself, and then attack and destroy. Alves doesn’t have enough big name defeats on his belt so it is hard for me to put my faith in him, where as Rush’s history resembles a who’s who of their weight division with most encounters ending in victory and reclaimed losses. So who do I think will win? I believe the winner will be a bloody and battered Georges “Rush” St-Pierre.

Henderson v Bisping: When he was on TUF, Michael Bisping was my favorite fighter from the start. Comical Brit, with amazing technical skill for how novice I believed he was at the time. He went on to continue to gain my favor with his undefeated UFC record. I did lose my favor for Bisping though after watching him lose his way to victory over Matt Hamill and then taunt Hamill afterwards. Dan Henderson one of the staples of the Pride Fighting Championships has been delivering fights worthy to his name, though some wins some losses, his skills have not waned in the crossover from Pride to UFC. I give this fight to Henderson towards the end of the second round. Hendo will deliver what Bisping hates, power shots. One thing I know about M.B. is when you unload some power on him, he responds with a few rabbit flurry punches from multiple angles. The problem though is they do not cause any damage. Bisping doesn’t hit like QJ, and isn’t as precise as Anderson Silva, therefore I don’t see him having the tools necessary to hurt Hendo, and I know Mike wont be able to take damage long enough to win a decision…

Overall: This is going to be a great pay per view. I would suggest ordering it or finding a place to watch. Just so you know I wish all of the fighters good luck, as getting into an octagon for a fight is very dangerous. I want to see a good clean show, touch gloves and come out fighting!
