Sadly, I don't know most of the fighters.
I think Lyoto wins by decision unless he gets some miraculous opening Rashad presents him and Lyoto gets a KO. I think Lyoto is elusive enough and capitalize on his counter-attack game against Rashad. I like both fighters but going with Lyoto on this one.
Despite Hughes having lost his previous 2 and hasn't fought in some time, I think Matt Hughes wins, I don't think Matt Serra has adapted his BJJ to MMA. I don't see how Serra will win.
Looking forward to Saturday's UFC.
I don't follow MMA too much, but my money's on Machida. Lemme know how it goes!
ReplyDeletehello:
ReplyDeletefor someone who doesn't follow MMA much, you seem to have some good predictions here and there :-)
Did I mention something before? I can't remember...
ReplyDeleteBut seriously, it's weird, I was thinking that after Machida won. I'm almost always right, the few fights I've guessed of late. :-P
If I were a bettin' man I could make some money here!
Spencer
you and me both, but i'm not a betting man either.
