Frankie Edgar vs BJ Penn:
Frankie impressed everyone with one of the most controversial upsets in MMA history. I feel that he will do it again. Penn obviously underestimated Edgar during their last fight. I feel that Frankie impressed us all with his solid wins leading up to his title shot. I’m thinking that we will see a similar upset. BJ doesn’t seem to have the endurance of Frankie he had in his former fights. I predict Edgar as the more active fighter, coupled with his superior cardio he’ll probably bob in and out landing strikes. I see Penn getting gassed after the 2nd round and ultimately losing again to Frankie.
Randy Couture vs James Toney
To me this fight is a no-brainer. I predict that The Natural is just going to decimate Toney. Toney is a one-dimensional fighter. All he has is his boxing. Randy has no problem taking on larger opponents i.e. Tim Silvia. Basically Randy is a true mixed martial artist and simply brings more to the table. I would love to see Randy beat Toney at his own game but I would rather see him take him to the ground and finish him in true MMA fashion.
Kenny Florian vs Gray Maynard
The Bully(Maynard) has gotten recognized for “bullying” his opponents around the ring via his wrestling skills. Florian has the tools to put a stop to Maynard’s run. Florian is going to force Gray to fight differently. Florian being very technical will have the advantage on the ground and in my opinion on the feet as well. Hoping for Florian to put Gray out late in the 2nd round.
Damian Maia vs Mario Miranda
Maia is coming back after his loss to Anderson Silva. I think were going to see Maia make quick work of Miranda on the ground. Miranda with his striking and takedown defense is going to want to keep it on the feet. I predict a 2nd round submission by Maia.
Nate Diaz vs Marcus Davis
Davis does not seem to be getting better with age. He has been racking up some consecutive losses lately and I fear he has another one coming. He seems to have loss the explosiveness and endurance of his younger years. I predict that the younger and hungrier Diaz will make quick work of Davis.
