UFC 100, Pick you fighters....

**Sullybob** · 07-10-2009, 04:10 PM

UFC 100 is tomorrow. Here are my predictions.

Brock Lesnar Vs. Frank Mir
I want Mir to win but I don't think that Bock is going to go to the ground with him this time. I think the canned hams are going to Ko/TKO Mir.

Georges St-Pierre Vs. Thiago Alves
GSP takes it. Foot work, timing, wrestling and BJJ are all in his favor. Alves is bigger and may very well be stronger and a better striker then GSP but I don't think he has as well rounded of a game as GSP.

Jon Fitch Vs. Paulo Thiago
I am not very familiar with Thiago but I am with Fitch. Fitch takes it by sheer toughness.

Dan Henderson Vs. Michael Bisping
This could go either way, I'm not really a fan of either fighter but I am starting to like Bisping more and more. If Bisping plays it safe and can avoid Dan's right hand and his GnP then he will probably win. I think that Bisping is faster then Dan and if he employs a strategy like he did against Chris Leben then Dan could be in for a frustrating fight. If Dan can take Bisping down and keep him down then Bisping is in for a rough night. I think Bisping takes it.

What are your predictions?

I agree on all fights except the first. I want Lesnar to win, but believe Mir's BJJ will prevail again. Also on the Bisping Henderson fight I want Henderson to win, but agree with your breakdown of the fight for the most part.

Bisping is a loudmouth with a bad attitude. He needs to lose a fight. Get his head right. I think Lesnar may have learned a few things from the last fight. We will see. GSP and Alves should be a good bout.

**greenerock** · 07-11-2009, 04:29 AM

Will there be a website so we can watch it tomorrow? The last fights had some link to watch them.

**thunder54** · 07-11-2009, 07:32 AM

I want Mir to win, but I want to see how much Lesnar has learned since the first fight.

GSP should win.

I watched an old fight of Fitch's yesterday and I feel he will win.

I want Henderson to win. After having officiated some of his matches in wrestling and being at the 96 Olympics he is my favorite. Really have gotten kind of tired of Bisping.

**The Nid Hog** · 07-11-2009, 08:11 AM

I'm not going to go with my heart anymore. I'm going to pick Lesnar over Mir (although I want Mir to win) and St-Pierre over Alves (although I want Alves to win). I think Fitch is likely to come out on top, and I'm OK with that. I do want to see Henderson thrash Bisping. "The Count"--bah!

**Sean** · 07-11-2009, 08:18 AM

Mir v Lesnar: Lesnar takes it. He's gonna go Donkey Kong on Mir. He's going to take him down and mash him with hammer fists and knees.

GSP v. Alves: GSP wins a hard fought battle I think. He's too technically superior in too many aspects. Alves has a 'punchers/grapplers' chance and is HUGE for that weight, which doesnt really happen often to GSP.

Hendo v. Bisping: Henderon is going to knock Bisping down and wear him out on the mat. I don't think Bisping has any of the skills to handle Henderson on the ground.

Thiago v Fitch: This is going to the ground and it'll probably stay there for the majority, grappler (thiago) vs. smasher (fitch) I think Fitch will defend the submissions and pput a vicious beating on Thiago for the win.

I'm not a big UFC fan, have been to a couple this year at a buddy's house. But, ever since I saw the preview for Brock Lesner several months ago, I've been looking forward to seeing the fight tonight. The guy is the size of a main battle tank. I honestly have no clue if he has a chance or not, I just want to see him fight!

**Sean** · 07-11-2009, 09:34 AM

Lesnar does have a chance, he nearly finished Mir in their first fight but got screwed by the ref (yes, I thought the back oif the head call was bad) and ended up getting caught with a knee bar submission.

It's pretty much a strength vs technique battle. Except this time Lesnar has another year of training and 2 more fights under his belt. He's seen more slick grappling from his training camp as well. And Mir is looking better than he did leading up to their previous battle.

I'm curious how the fight goes on their feet. Will Lesnar respect Mir's grappling and avoid take downs? Or wait for a good shot anyway. Or will he try to box him? They both have drastically improved boxing.

Lesnar can also wear him out by mauling him into the cage.

**Kratos** · 07-11-2009, 10:22 AM

I would give the edge in conditioning to Lesnar, despite the size differential. Mir has admitted he hates cardio, and that won't work in his favor. If it goes the distance I'd have to give the advantage to Lesnar.

**ouch** · 07-11-2009, 11:15 AM

Lesnar has a score to settle. Don't forget how easily he took <ir down in the first fight, seemingly at will, and that Mir was in a precarious position before the ref made them stand up due to rabbit punches. Lesnar, crushingly.

GSP is one of most well rounded and proficient fighters the sport has produced, but Alves is hard headed and hungry. Alves in a surprise, by TKO.

Bisping will goad Henderson into exchanges, but but eventually be worn down. Henderson by split decision.

**Sullybob** · 07-11-2009, 01:22 PM

Great answers.

The fight starts in 4 hours 40 minutes for me.

**greenerock** · 07-11-2009, 07:33 PM

So no one knows a website to watch it in the morning? I can't afford the pay-per-view.

**Sean** · 07-11-2009, 08:05 PM

Find video of the end of the Henderson vs. Bisping fight.

HOLY CRAP!

I'm not wanting to give it away, but I nearly jumped across my living room.

**Sean** · 07-11-2009, 08:10 PM

Next is the Alves/St Pierre fight.

Alves is a HUGE guy for that weight. He's a sledgehammer in a ball-peen weight class, lol,.

He absolutely has a punchers chance. And Kickers chance.

Still picking GSP.

**ouch** · 07-11-2009, 08:49 PM

And GSP it is. Too many takedowns to count.

**wakeboarder4402** · 07-11-2009, 10:02 PM

I can't belive Lesnar won, that guy is such a douche.

Yeah, I'm not looking forward to the next several years of having to watch this guy every couple of UFCs. Maybe he'll have a spat with Zuffa and go sign with Affliction. And take The Beautiful Sable with him.

**The Fish** · 07-11-2009, 10:27 PM

Bah. I really think Lesnar is everything the UFC does NOT need to be. Foul-mouthed, trash-talking, unsportsmanlike gorilla who can win simply by laying on his opponents and slamming down his giant hamfists. He's like a more athletic Tank Abbott. All of the most popular UFC fighters are humble and respectful, he has said that he has no respect for anyone he fights. Get him out of the sport.

I was absolutely thrilled with the Henderson fight. The end of that fight was just BRUTAL. I couldn't have been happier with the result. At least one trash-talker got what was coming to him.

I have to admit I was a little worried about the GSP fight just because Alves is so huge for the 170 class, but Rush proved again that there is just no one who can defend against his takedowns. Every fight I'm just amazed by his instincts and power. I think he may be the only fighter who could give Silva a legitimate challenge.

**stripec30** · 07-11-2009, 11:07 PM

I was looking at the salaries and Lesner got 400k to show while Mir got 40k--looks like he'll be moving over to the WEC full time... It's funny how Joe Rogan looked kind of nervous in that post-fight interview... talk about roid rage... wow.

The Alves/GSP fight was awesome. I've never liked Alves--he just reminds me of some pompus ass who got his hands on some HGH instead of cocaine. It's just amazing how the world-class fighters can pick apart challengers.

As far as the Henderson fight all I can say is ouch. Bisping's gonna be wearing a soft collar for a few weeks.
