Im surprised alot of you guys are picking Bisping to win his match. I dont see him KO'ing Hendo, never happened. I dont see him submitting the guy either. Yeah Bisping has an impressive record, but most of his fight are against B/C level opponents. Hendo's been in there with the best of the best and won. Personally I cant stand Bisping and I hope he looses. He's way to cocky, Hamil kicked the crap out of him, they gave him a BS decision and he pretends like he won.

[1-Bar]

Here's what I got, threw in some predictions on the finishes as well, lets see how I fair off:

Mir via TKO
GSP via sub
Fitch
Bisping by split
Belcher
Bonnar by TKO
Danzig by TKO
O'Brien
Hyun Kim
Dollaway

BTW anyone catch Countdown to 100?? Mir/Lesnar are too funny....

I agree with this almost across the board, except I see Miller beating Danzig, and Lawlor beating Dollaway.

I'd like to think Hendo will beast Bisping handily, but Dan has fought the exact same way forever. He's good, but it's no surprise what he's going to do. Bisping, on the other hand, typically shows something new every fight, and is continuously improving. I'd like to see Hendo win, but I'm hesitant to bet against a fighter on that much of an upswing. This is a quickly evolving sport, and the old school guys who've refused to evolve have had their games exposed and have been taken out, just like a few years ago when the once dominant wrestlers got phased out (Kerr, Coleman, Randleman, etc.).

I hope Bisping get his ass handed to him just because he annoys me so much. Apart from that...I think Mir is a much better fighter than Lesnar. Lesnar better have worked on his cardio, he was gassed out against Couture and he got lucky in the second round.

[mushi_mushi]

Frank Mir isnt going to KO anyone, he is not a stand up fighter and doesn't possess the speed/power and technique to knock people out. I give him props for knocking out nog, but I think that only happened because nog has taken alot of damage throughout his career and had a staff infection and couldn't train properly for the fight. Mir's record is 12-3 with 2 of his 12 wins coming of way of KO.

If Brock keeps it on his feet, he is the one who will knock out Mir, he is alot stronger and faster than Mir and has his biggest advantage on the feet. Brocks chin has never been tested so who knows, but I doubt Mir will be stupid enough to stand with him and find out. If Mir wins is by submission, or possibly GnP from the top if Brock tires.

Regardless of who wins I think the UFC HW devision is pretty weak. I would put Fedor, Barnett, Overeem, Alex E (with no hep B) and a healthy Nog against any of them and win.

Personally I dont see any reason for Fedor to come to the UFC. I dont see anyone there who will give him more than one round. (except maybe Nog)

wheres everyone going to watch the fight?

[signature7]

fuck! I'm going to have to miss this one, haven't missed a gsp fight in a long long while!

[extm88]

I dont see how Brock can lose the fight....
1) he dominated last fight against mir and due to getting exited and lack of experience he got caught. We have seen him improve every fight since.
2) the heath herring fight is exactly how brock needs to fight every fight (rd 1) Brock is the best wrestler in the ufc hands down. His size gives him the ability to do nothing and tire opponents.

My prediction is 3rd round tko win (ground and pound) for lesnar.

I happen to agree with what you say his chances are against the UFC heavies, but one really good reason would be to finally silence all the naysayers.

People said the same thing about a lot of the ex-pride fighters, with varying results (lol CroCop).

If the UFC completely dominates the landscape for the next generation of fighters, and a Heavyweight goes on a tear similar to Fedors, he'd probably get the nod as greatest of all time just because Fedor never tested himself against the players on the biggest stage of them all.
