Ortiz vs Forrest- I'll take Ortiz in this one, if it was five rounds i'd take forrest - i just see ortiz scoring a couple takedowns and working some GnP
Johnson vs Koscheck- unsure of Johnsons groundgame but would love to see him knockout Kos, i just have a feeling kos will KO johnson
Cane vs LiL' Nog- I'll take Cane in this one, watch out LHW division
Ortiz vs Forrest: a healthy Ortiz is a very dangerous Ortiz. A great wrestler, with some great GnP. He can hurt you from anywhere on the ground including in a guys guard. Forrest is going to wanna shake off that huge loss to Silva. Look, Silva makes everyone look bad, so losing to Silva is nothing to be ashamed of. We'll really see how healthy Ortiz is, and if he's healthy, there's only a few fighters I'll take over him. Ortiz by UD
Johnson vs Koscheck: Here's hoping Rumble can make weight. He's a decent wrestler, very strong with some heavy hands. Very dangerous striker. Koscheck has the wrestling advantage, one of the best wrestlers in MMA, he has heavy hands as well. Johnson will have the reach advantage, but I think Kos will be able to get this fight to the ground and keep it there. Kos by UD
Cane vs Lil' Nog: This is going to be a tough fight for Cane. A Good striker, he had a great fight against Cantwell, a fight I was enjoying the entire time. Nog, obviously known for his sick submission game, isn't a bad striker himself, with good head movement, good hands, good timing. Cane can make a huge splash with a win over Lil' Nog, but I think Nog will be too much and win this, but it should be a good one: Lil Nog by UD
Paulo Thiago vs Jacob Volkmann: A lot of people aren't going to know who Volkmann is, but he has a great submission game, last fighting for the Bellator promotion. I would love to see this turn into a ground battle, because I love ground battles, some people may find them boring, but I enjoy a good battle on the ground. This is a good fight for those who know Volkmann, and we've seen what Thiago is capable of. I have to go with Thiago in this one, but it should be good. Thiago by 3rd Round TKO
Sadollah vs The New York Bad Ass: Sadollah I thought was on the bad end of a bad stoppage the last time he was in the UFC, but if he's not carefull, Baroni can knock you out, he has huge heavy hands, but a very short gas tank. If Amir can survive the first round, he has a good shot at winning this. If he can find a way to get his to the ground, he has an even better shot as Baroni's ground game isn't the best. I have to go against my fellow New Yorker here, although I might regret that. Amir Sadollah via 2nd Round Sub
Ortiz vs Forrest... If the old Tito comes in then he might ground and pound Forrest.... but I think Forrest is gonna kick Tito's ass....
Johnson vs Koscheck... I think Johnson is gonna beat the ugly off Koscheck. I think Koschecks only chance is to lay and pray... If it stays on the feet.. it should go to Johnson... Johnson is a wreslter too.. hopefully he can keep Koscheck from taking him down.... I really do not like Koscheck.. at all... and I really like Johnson.. I think Johnson has big potential.
Cane vs Lil' Nog ... Well.. i kinda think Cane takes it..
Paulo Thiago vs Jacob Volkmann .. I don't remember Volkmann... I like his name though..
Sadollah vs Baroni ...I hope Sadollah wins. He hasn't looked very good since winning the tuf.... Baroni is a one trick pony with bad cardio... so if Sadollah can't beat Baroni... he may be the first TUF winner to ever get dropped if he can't beat Baroni.
...haven't been too Up2dated w/ either Forrests' or Titoz recent progress/Attitudes& Training...
...i think it could go either Way, depending on many Levels...but, Hopes the fight will be as Exciting & Hyped like their last Bout together...i personally, felt they Love brawling w/ each other (mentally&Physically)...Clash of the Titans...
...Tito can possibly, be a newOne, considerin' Still havin' the Hunger to come back to the Octagon...& Forrest's last interview on youTube gave me impression that he was reCharged & reJuvenated from his AndersonSilvaBout to grow&ReBorn from his past Experiences...
...Personally, to Me, it's gonna be Exciting to see which way it goes & how Unpredictable these 2-Knockfests' take it to the Cage...lol...only wish i could order the Event, tonight, lol...
4-1 in my main card predictions, just figured Tito would actually attempt more takedowns than he did. Still, this card honestly wasn't that hard to call, aside from maybe how good Amir's chin is, which Baroni did tag him like twice, but he was good enough to clinch and recover.
