UFC 85 Picks/Prediction

[krikit]

Event is tommorow:

Matt Hughes vs Thiago Alves R2 SUB (Passing how the torch to a younger generation WW's and a new contender for GSP)

Marcus Davis Vs. Mike Swick UD (Fastest hands in MMA baby)
Nate Marquardt Vs Thales Leites UD
Fabricio Werdum Vs. Brandon Vera UD

Jorge Rivera Vs. Martin Kampmann UD
Matt Wiman Vs. Thiago Tavares R1 TKO
Roan Carneiro Vs. Kevin Burns R1 SUB
Luiz Cane Vs. Jason Lambert R2 KO
Paul Taylor Vs. Jess Liaudin R2 SUB - France > England
Antoni Hardonk Vs. Eddie Sanchez R3 TKO - Sanchez one step closer to the title shot.

[Global Honored]

[FieldingMellish]

Matt Hughes vs Thiago Alves TKO1 (Alves by a brutal onslaught of punches and knees late in the first that just overwhelm Hughes' 1999 vintage striking ability)

Michael Bisping Vs. Jason Day TKO2 (Should be loads of fun, especially on their feet. Bisping by GnP finish after his now customary almost getting caught with a submission earlier in the fight)

Marcus Davis Vs. Mike Swick KO1 (Should be quick, furious and very decisive)

Nate Marquardt Vs Thales Leites - Decision (Nate by superior smothering, wrestling and just being busier)

Fabricio Werdum Vs. Brandon Vera KO2 (Vera by more energetic, aggressive striking)

Jorge Rivera Vs. Martin Kampmann TKO1 (Kampmann by a proper battering)
Matt Wiman Vs. Thiago Tavares SUB2 (Tavares to just outclass him on the ground)
Roan Carneiro Vs. Kevin Burns SUB1 (See the Tavares fight above)
Luiz Cane Vs. Jason Lambert TKO1 (Lambert just too, well, ordinary. His last fight for Zuffa)
Paul Taylor Vs. Jess Liaudin - Decision (England > France:))
Antoni Hardonk Vs. Eddie Sanchez (No prediction, no interest)

[MZN]

True that!!!


Sanchez one step closer to the title shot.
Very sad....

[K-1 Extremist]

Kampmann by destruction, KO round 1.

[xavion]

Very sad....


The worst part will be watching Dana White talk up Eddie Sanchez like he is better than AA or Big Tim ;p

[migs]

Hughes by dec (tough call here with his new camp and all)
Bisping by sub rd 3
Swick by sub rd 2
Nate M by dec
Werdum by dec (I just picture Vera looking frustrated again by a long guy)
Kampmann by KO rd 1 (sorry but Rivera is there to be KOd and probably will be)
Tavares by sub
Lambert by KO rd 1 (I think Luis will be aggressive and get caught)
Liaudin by dec (anything couild happen here but should be a war)
Sanchez by KO rd 1? I don't remember anything about Hardonk for some reason..can't picture his face...guess he didn't impress. Maybe he'll get smashed.

[Toffa]

Some craziness here, Hardonk will smash Sanchez...
I'll also take Hughes, Bisping, Marquart, Davis, Werdum, Kampmann, Lambert and Taylor.

I'm so pumped for this card, I think this card is stacked with more of my favourites than ever before. How much longer do we have to go?

[heckyl]

funny how you are pumped and most everyone else is dogging this card. but i agree with you. im pumped too. i like the fights.

Nate Marquardt Vs Thales Leites via UD
Fabricio Werdum Vs. Brandon Vera via TKO or UD

Jorge Rivera Vs. Martin Kampmann via TKO
Matt Wiman Vs. Thiago Tavares via submission, R2
Roan Carneiro Vs. Kevin Burns via submission, R2
Luiz Cane Vs. Jason Lambert via UD
Paul Taylor Vs. Jess Liaudin via split decision
Antoni Hardonk Vs. Eddie Sanchez via TKO, R1/R2 - I'm surprised so many are picking Sanchez in this one. I really see Hardonk finishing the fight decisively, but we'll see what happens :).
