UFC 75 is on Spike TV tonight. For those who enjoy MMA, what are your fight predictions? Here are mine:

Houston Alexander vs Alessio Sakara - I think Alexander is going to take this fight

Mirko Cro Cop vs Cheick Kongo - Since Mirko is coming off a knockout, I think he will have a tough time with this fight. I think Kongo will take this if Mirko is inactive and is hesitant to let the fists and legs go, and I think Mirko should throw a lot of low kicks to take out Kongo's Legs. I do not know much about Kongo or his fighting style, but this should be an interesting fight.

Michael Bisping vs Matt Hamill - I think Bisping will take it.

Quinton Jackson vs Dan Henderson - I don't think this fight will go very long, but I think Dan Henderson will be the victor but it can go any way.

There are other fights on the card, but I am not sure if they are going to be aired. Anyway, what do you think?

Ya, rampage is a great fighter, but I think Henderson is more technical and will come out the victor. I guess we will know soon enough.

Lets take some gentlemens bets.

I take Cro Cop, Henderson, Alexander, and Bisping.

Most of this fight card is unfamiliar to me. I haven't seen alot of Pride fighting so I'm not familiar with Henderson. The truth is, I'm just gonna watch the fights and root for the guy that's losing. LMAO
I will go with Jeff and Rampage though.
So, you're on Bob. I'll take Rampage over Henderson. I'm with you on Cro Cop. And, just to make it interesting, I'll take the opposite of the rest of your picks.

Sounds good Russ, I will update this thread with results. Anyone else want in?

 

[2000formula]

i think cro cop will take his fight because he is coming off a bad beat. quintin might suprise us.

 

[FBN Firebird Nation]

I am sure we will see a lot more of the pride fighters in the UFC since the UFC has aquired Pride. I am not sure about cro-cop, his glass chin was broken not long ago. That kick would have KOed a lot of people though.

Looks like I called the Alexander fight correctly. Alexander easily defeated Sakara.

 

[Jeremy]

Just watched these fights myself and the taylor davis fight was a turnaround. The submission by davis was amazing after the kick he took. The bisping/hammil fight was kinda predictable in the 2nd round. Hammil did real good until then but he needed more shots instead of defense. Henderson/jackson fight was AWESOME but henderson tired himself by trying to make it wrestling. crocp/congo fight was not a very interesting fight I don't think. Crocop had more in him just wasn't using it.

 

[FBN Firebird Nation]

The Mirko Cro Cop Fight has been excellent thus far!

 

[FBN Firebird Nation]

I am only in the second round of the cro-cop fight. I didn't know that it was broadcasted earlier and not live. Kind of GAY that its not on at the SAME time for everyone!

 

[Zippy]

honestly, never watched a UFC I know, shame on Zippy LOL

 

[rusnrno]

I agree Jeremy. Davis really turned it around after a stunning kick. I thought Hamil won over Bisping. Hometown advantage I guess. Congo had a huge reach advantage over Cro cop and he couldn't deal with it.
First time I saw Henderson fight. He impressed me. He musta tried for that Kamora five or six times. I was surprised by Jacksons ground skills too.

All in all a good night of MMA fighting. Especially for free. It was even better since it was being taped on the DVR while we were eating so we were able to fast forward through all the commercials. It took about 50 minutes off the viewing time.

Damn Bob! you better not read any of this then LMAO

 

[FBN Firebird Nation]

Ya, I see what you mean Jeremy, the second and third round were what I had expected from Mirko, he held back on his striking big time!

 

[FBN Firebird Nation]

Why was it on earlier in Sparks?? We are in the same time zone!

What time did it start for you Russ?

 

[rusnrno]

I don't know Bob. It started at 6:00. I've got Dish Network. Maybe that's why
We finished watching a while ago. Going to bed now after soaking in my new hot tub. AHHHHHH!

 

[mcintyrej79]

Ya, that might be the reason, but its kinda lame it didn't air at the same time for everyone. Ya, we have a hot tub and pool here at the hotel too. My experience with hot tubs as been that they end up sitting in the backyard rarely getting used after the first few months. I have known a lot of people who just let their hot tubs rot away in the back yard. At least your getting some use out of yours.
