This weekend we have some interesting fights. I'll give you my predictions for three of the big ones. Please feel free to step up to the plate and give your opinions or forever shut the fuck up!

RASHAD EVANS VS. LYOTO MACHIDA

The ufc light heavy weight championship fight looks like a good one on paper. Two undefeated fighters both in their prime. etc... but this fight may actually be a snoozer. Both guys are counter punchers first and Machida's takedown defense may negate Evans wrestling attributes. With that said I look for the ever elusive Lyoto Machida to begin a long reign as light heavyweight champion. Machida will be to the light heavy's what Anderson Silva is to the middle weight division. Untouchable. Look for Machida to win in both striking and grappling, eventually stopping Evans via choke out.

prediction: Machida winner by submission round 3

MATT HUGHES VS. MATT SERRA

Even though neither of the these former champions are what they were a few years ago, I'm glad the UFC put this grudge match together. Sure both have claimed victory over the current welter weight god, George St. Pierre. But more importantly both have suffered devestating defeats in subsequent rematches. I can see this fight being entertaining while it lasts but the superior Matt. (Hughes that is..) grounding and pounding the New Yorker into a referee stoppage.

prediction: Hughes wins tko round 2

ANDRE BERTO VS. JUAN URANGO

Running against the UFC's ppv is HBO's Boxing after dark program. The main event is a fight that I'm very excited about. Unbeaten welter weight belt holder Berto takes on one loss junior welterweight belt holder Urango. If you've never seen Urango, I urge you to check out a photo of this freak. He is to boxing what Sean Sherk is to the UFC. He looks like 240lbs of steel but he's only 140lbs. This fight should be the fight of the night. Both guys can bang, both guys have defensive flaws, and both men are hungry. I see this one going down to wire with the slighhtly larger man pulling out a razor thin victory.

prediction: Berto wins via 12 round split decision.




So what do you think???
