Thiago Alves is fighting John Howard at UFC 124 and we're all going to like it

Thiago Alves is fighting John Howard at UFC 124 and we're all going to like it

A couple of days ago on MMAJunkie radio, Mike Pierce called out Thiago Alves and had some pretty decent smack talk regarding Alves on Facebook. On Twitter, Pierce said 'This place is as dead as Thiago Alves' and 'Thiago Alves to be featured on Biggest Loser on Dec 23rd'. He even asked Dana to gi...

Joe Warren vs. Joe Soto comes on TONIGHT!

Joe Warren vs. Joe Soto comes on TONIGHT!

It's the only MMA any of us will be seeing this week, so if you vehemently hate the sport of mixed martial arts, despise equally matched title fights and refuse to see spectacular finishes, don't watch Bellator 27 tonight on Fox Sports West. Your friends will make fun of you behind your back, but ...

KJ Noons thinks Nick Diaz is a trash-talking, pot-smoking chump

KJ Noons thinks Nick Diaz is a trash-talking, pot-smoking chump

For those of you who aren’t familiar with the Nick Diaz and KJ Noons rivalry, the beef started back in Elite XC where a controversial doctor stoppage handed Diaz his only loss in the past 3 years. Winning a fight due to a doctor stoppage in the first round is a lot like winning a competitive ea...

EA Sports MMA will not be released in Denmark due to a strange Scandinavian law

EA Sports MMA will not be released in Denmark due to a strange Scandinavian law

When the Kool-Aid man breaks through a wall in a commercial, all the kids start cheering. Imagine a seven-foot pitcher full of Kool-Aid breaking through your house screaming 'Oh yeah!', it's a horrifying thought. He might spill over and get some of himself on the carpet. The worst thing is, you ca...

If you missed the UFC Fan Expo, Bloodstain Lane has you covered

In all fairness, the entire MiddleEasy crew was supposed to go to the UFC Fan Expo in a taco truck and serve up carne asada goodness for fans of the site. Sadly the idea didn’t work out after we learned that tacos are not an approved cuisine at the John B. Hynes Center. Not sure what Boston ha...

Karo Parisyan is BACK in the UFC!

Karo Parisyan is BACK in the UFC!

I could be looking too far into it, but when Dana says that you '[Expletive] the UFC' by pulling out of the fight the day before weigh-ins, it looks like that may denote a lifetime ban. In fact, it did constitute a lifetime ban in the promotion, but in ZUFFA years, a lifetime is only ten months....

Overeem accepts Fedor's challenge, plans to fight him after K-1

Overeem accepts Fedor's challenge, plans to fight him after K-1

The greatest thing about Alistair Overeem accepting Fedor's challenge to fight him after he's done with the K-1 Grand Prix is that he actually watched a Bloodstain Lane video on a message board and responded. Next step for Alistair Overeem is to accept my friend request on Xbox Live. The guy plays...

Mariusz Pudzianowski is leaner, meaner, and doesn't think he hits like a girl

Mariusz Pudzianowski is leaner, meaner, and doesn't think he hits like a girl

I used to think the meaning of life was somewhere inside the cut Jose Benevidez left on Miguel Torres’ forehead, but it turns out those were just Miguel’s deepest thoughts about the perfect plate of carnitas after a warm bath. If the meaning of life was actually hidden in plain site, it would...

Dan Henderson and Gegard Mousasi may get the next Strikeforce title shots, despite coming off losses

Dan Henderson and Gegard Mousasi may get the next Strikeforce title shots, despite coming off losses

A lot of people criticized Strikeforce’s decision to give Brett Rogers a title shot immediately following his loss to Fedor Emelianenko last year. This past spring, Ubereem agreed with those critics as he made short work of Rogers and ended his first title defense in just shy of four minutes. ...

Carlos Newton demonstrates a one-inch punch and throws a Wu-Tang reference in for good measure

Carlos Newton demonstrates a one-inch punch and throws a Wu-Tang reference in for good measure

Carlos Newton should be undefeated based on how cool he looks. The same goes with Sokoudjou or any other guy that competes in MMA with a full set of dredlocks. We all wanted them, but our parents firmly held onto the belief that long hair was a gateway drug that led to smoking marijuana, wearing t...

UFC 106 Predictions: Served Up Unscientifically and Lustily Biased with a Side Order of Hair Aversion PDF Print E-mail
Written by Cat   
Friday, 20 November 2009 10:22

(Singing, er um "rapping"...in my lamest Slim Shady impression attempt) Guess Who's Back? Back again? Cathee's back...Tell a friend! OK, so I'm not really back...its my first time! Oh snap, I'm popping my MiddleEasy cherry with some fight predictions today, so be gentle. I'm a newbie.


Thiago Vs Volkmann

We all remember how Thiago KO'd 106 cardmate Koscheck don't we? Welp, me thinks that things are not going to go over in quite the same fashion as that lucky fight ending shot Thiago got last time. I'm thinking we should get a pretty unattractive submission ending fight out of this one as these two aren't winning any beauty pageants anytime soon. I give it to Volkmann.

 

Grove Vs Rosholt

Oh Kendall, how I love your sweet Hawaiian accent, but accents and pretty teeth aren't going to win you any fights. I just don't know here. Kendall really has to win this one in my opinion to save himself a spot in the UFC. He's a tall drink o' pineapple juice and with limbs like that he can be devastating on the ground if he stays confident. He doesn't take hits all that well though. He tends to forget where he left his balls when he starts getting hit though-so if Rosholt keeps it standing and gives KG a little punishment the win is his. I'm going with Rosholt.

 

Dent Vs Sotiropoulos

I say if Dent isn't feeling too overly emo he can take George. You can't really blame Dent for being kind of depressed though, he is from Madison, OH. That is enough to depress anyone. Believe me, I know I hail from a place not so far from there.

 

Larson Vs Foster

Come on...really. Larson.

 

Saunders Vs Davis

This fight is going to be like looking at the Caucasian version of Bushwick Bill and Snoop Dogg going at it in the cage. Saunders towers over Davis by like four and a half feet and has a tremendous reach advantage. Davis will need to stick and move because if Saunders gets him in the clinch, those knees will be able to put a hurting on Davis's chin while Saunders hangs out and chats with Joe Rogan outside the cage. Kind of off topic but I have to say that Saunders might be in the "doable" category- but those pork chops he has frying up on the side of his face have me all turned off. Maybe if he lays on top of Davis he can beard burn him into submitting? Naw...my money is on Davis.

 

Baroni Vs Sadollah

Oh Amir, the ladies we love you so. Amir is just so cuddly and lovable. I'm not sure how cute and cuddly coincide with getting into a cage and choking the life out of someone...Anyway, he rocked a mullet and somehow I still like him, so I'm giving my pick to Sadollah.

 

Cane Vs Little Nog

I like Little Nog, and I'm thinking that as long as this fight goes to the ground it should be his. Hopefully he doesn't try and box it out with Cane.

 

Koscheck Vs Johnson

Here is where the hair aversion REALLY kicks in...its tough for me, because the mess of hair that makes it look like Kos got attacked by the cotton candy machine at the state fair gets me all distracted. I need someone to photoshop a lowcut fade on a pic of Kos so I can pay attention to the rest of him which is prime USDA grade "A" filet mignon. As much as I want to like Kos for how much he continues to improve as a fighter, that hair makes my left eye twitch while my hand reaches for the Frizz-Ease. Please, tame that pack of rabid poodles that are humping your noggin Kos!

This one is truly going to be a battle though and could potentially get fight of the night. Johnson is impressive and I think even if Kos tamed those tresses I would still pick Johnson for the win. Johnson is a beast.

 

Ortiz Vs Griffin

I want to DQ Ortiz for wearing shades indoors. That and his neck does seem to be outgrowing his extra large sized head and it doesn't even seem like that should be physically possible! Tito is looking extra diesel lately and seems to have been training pretty hard for this one. On the other hand, if you get a chance...take a close look at the cauliflower garden growing on Forrest's ears. Looks to me like he acquired a few more florets! He might be looking to take Tito to the ground and sing him a lullaby. If this fight lasts more than 2 rounds, I think Tito might be toting too much muscle to keep up with Forrest's conditioning and Forrest will take it. Tito will have to come out blazing and finish Forrest off quickly to get the W this time.

Thanks for humoring me...I'll be tweeting (twatting) during the event.

Baroni is going to murder Amir. That is all. Oh and nicely done, Cat. P.S. Forrest Griffin died for your sins.

the challengers card was great!!!!!
just like the last one, not stop action!!!

not a single fight went the distance!!!!!!!

im pretty sure strikeforce challengers 5 from tonight will be better than UFC 106, and i wouldnt normally guess that, but its just true, the challengers card was that good!!!
ufc 106 isnt worth taking the time to make some predictions!! eff-it!!!
