Back to back UFC events! For a true MMA fans this is a pretty stacked card and for newbs to the sport the main even with Anderson Silva should get your attention
.
Unlike last weekend I think a lot of these fights will go the distance (minus the main card). There are tons of world class wrestlers on tonights card
Rich Clementi VS. Gray Manard – Love this match up. Up in comer and Xtreme Couture trained Gray Manard vs is going to give UFC veteran Rich Clementi all he can handle in this fight. I look for Gray to take this fight to the ground and ground and pound as much as possible but Clementi is pretty dangerous off his back. I look for Manard to take this fight by decision.
Tyson Griffin VS. Sean Sherk – Another great matchup of Xtreme Couture trained younger fighter vs the Muscle Shark Sean Sherk. 2 Great wrestlers… This fight is an absolute must win for Sean Sherk and I look for him to control this fight and win by decision.
Junior Dos Santos Vs. Fabricio Werdum – Junior Dos Santos has never been heard of before to most fans but this guy is a total badass. This is my underdog pick of the night. Right now he is a giant 5:1 underdog. I think this guy will shock the world and knockout Werdum 2nd round.
Thiago Alves Vs. Josh Koscheck - I am totally partial here because I am friends with Josh Koscheck and have partied with him before. He is a really cool guy and I will be rooting for him. Its going to be a massive challenge against Thiago Alves who is coming off of a huge upset win over Matt Hughes. I will go with Koscheck by decision.
Anderson Silva Vs Patrick Cote – I have only seen Anderson Silva have problems twice in his career. Once against BJJ Blackbelt Travis Lutter and against Dan Henderson. Both excellent ground fighters. Cote will stand with Anderson Silva and while he has a punchers chance… its not much of one. I am going with Anderson SIlva by TKO (right hand) 2:22 of round 1.











A lot of brazilians… thats nice! Go Brazil!
Patrick Cote deserves a rematch, saying that anderson silver should of put on a better fight for a champion.
My cable went out right when UFC 90 came on. It was out until the main fight, which was kind of disappointing.
Watched the replay a day or two later–gotta love UFC.
The Silva fight was a dud….D.U.D!
Haha, I totally love the trackback. Sucks that irrelevant comments do win though
Silve-St. Pierre or Penn-St.Pierre are the fights I really want to see.
Oh, and anyone Fedor is trouncing lately would be awesome. I bet Tim Sylvia thought his whole head exploded during that fight.
That Silva/Cote fight was pretty boring.
I thought Silva was going to knock Cote out in the first round, but it didn’t happen because Silva was so damn cautious.
I think Cote did the best he could against such a monster.
I hope you put down some money Shoe – those predictions turned out pretty accurate!
Not sure I was happy with the Sherk/Griffin Decision (was the 30-27 judge watching the same fight??) – but that was a great fight.
Was surprised at Maynard’s dominance too – Clementi never seemed to have a chance.
And really, Cote was probably lucky it ended like that so he could at least leave with some dignity and respect – it was going to be another Rich Franklin job within the next two rounds.
Can’t wait for 91!!

I thought that Silva’s match was very boring. I think Gray Maynard shows a lot of promise though.
I missed the fight but heard it was good.
Yeah! Nearly 100%! Next time there’s a fight I’m coming here to get the tips before I bet! Rock on!
Shoe,
I think you did your best here with these picks. If you had not picked the Kos fight with your heart and picked with your head you could have been 100%.
Way to go!
Silva won. He was joking around a lot though. He’s a funny guy.
Wow, nice winning on that bet… I don’t bet because it can go both ways..
I love that you’re taking a shoe out of Problogger’s book, Shoe, but can you please turn off the pop-up newsletter thing.
if only i can watch them fighting on person:)
kimbo needs another fight
Wow!
lol Wow wow wow…
I’ve never heard of any of these guys!
I like how after Darren of ProBlogger posts about using the pop-up for RSS Subscriptions, John, Shoe, and many others start using it.
I just noticed that too Patrick. I’ve used the pop-up a little. I haven’t decided if I like it for our site or not.
Thanks for posting about it here Patrick, I’ll definitely need to try this out on one of my websites. Unfortunately I use Feedburner so I’ll have to figure out a different way to get this to work!
I was thinking the exact same thing.
Yup, good point, I think it’s a good idea, but really not worth it unless you actually use your mailing list (Chow doesn’t at this point….)
ohh its worth it…. conversion rates are amazing.
Rich Clementi….
I usually indulge in UFC PPV when I see Season One fighters of Ultimate Fighter. This is one of those.
I should indulge and watch. I usually skip it or find something else cause no one else finds UFC fun. ahaha how could they not!? Well Either that or I should tape it.
I would hate to see Werdum lose
, silva has come across problems in his career outside of his ufc action , i beleive 3 loses and 1 dq
Sweet i am almost forgot about this. Anderson silva is only fight i look forward to the guy is a god.
That was cool! I say this with full responsibility. -)
Anderson Silva, that’s my boy, it should be an easy fight, I don’t think anybody could beat him at this moment.
Cote is the underdog but I feel he can pull out a upset in this one…
I’ve only watched one UFC event before and it was a long drawn out but completely amazing fight between two tough guys.
This is a gonna be a great event, I also think Silva will win, hes a beast
Silva!!!! I agree btw…..
Fight again. Thats great. Hope the good ones win not the lucky ones.
