UFC 101 Predictions


UFC 101 is tomorrow night!

My picks for the winner's circle:

BJ Penn Vs. Kenny Florian - Lightweight Title Fight
Penn by TKO or Submission

Anderson Silva Vs. Forrest Griffin - Light-heavyweight Fight
This is heresy, but I'm going with Griffin by Decision

Amir Sadollah Vs. Johny Hendricks
Sadollah by Submission

Kendall Grove Vs. Ricardo Almeida
Grove by TKO (I do think Almeida is a better fighter.)

Josh Neer Vs. Kurt Pellegrino
Pellegrino by Submission

Shane Nelson Vs. Aaron Riley
No clue. Let's go with Nelson by Something.

Tamdan McCrory Vs. John Howard
McCrory by Decision, mostly because I like his last name.

Thales Leites Vs. Alessio Sakara
Leites by TKO

Matt Riddle Vs. Dan Cramer
Riddle by TKO

George Sotiropoulos Vs. Rob Emerson
Sotiropoulos by Submission

Jesse Lennox Vs. Danillo Villefort
Villefort by TKO

Cracked: Top 10 Ragdoll Moments in MMA


If you guys haven't read this already:

http://www.cracked.com/blog/10-mixed-martial-arts-knockouts-that-displayed-rag-doll-physics/
I think I coughed up a lung laughing at this.

Here's a few excerpts:

Pride Total Elimination 2003 - The Classic Ragdoll
"Mirko Cro Cop is a martial artist, part of the Croatian Parliament and a member of a special forces anti-terrorist unit. Also, after kicking 25 brave human heads into low orbit, he is personally considered Croatia's only space program. (He is for ages 10 and up, Aqua Battlebike sold seperately.)..."

UFC 22 - It's Ragdollin' Time
"Brad Kohler had so many muscles that he was more thumb than man. And when he took a big step and wound up for a double splash page Thing vs. Hulk haymaker punch, everyone in the entire world saw it coming except poor Steve Judson. This punch was such a force of nature that local wildlife left the area the night before. The fact that Steve Judson woke up later, not dead, means that he will spend the rest of his life being hunted by military researchers wanting to harvest him for tank parts."

I salute you, cracked magazine, for being able to make time disappear, 2 hours at a time.
