Looking for UFC 116 Predictions

Yahoo is a great place to watch the upcoming UFC fight, if you do not have access to TV-PPV. Check them out at: http://sports.yahoo.com/mma/ufcppv/116

And the best place to bet on UFC fights (no matter where you are from in the world) is, without a doubt: BetUS

Fight Analysis: This main event is going to be awesome! This is one of the few main events I have really been looking forward to (and, no, I am not a WWF fan). The outcome I WANT is a Shane Carwin knockout of Brock Lesnar. However, that is not my prediction however much I want that to happen. Brock is faster than Shane. Brock trains with intensity and learns very quickly. I don’t think he can stand up with Carwin at all. I do think he can take Carwin down, though, and finish the fight. This is how I see the fight going: Brock will NOT trade punches with Carwin (he will lose if he does this). What he will do is shoot in for the takedown at his typical quick speed. When he gets Carwin to the ground, he just will not let him up and will pound him until the fight is over.

Prediction: Brock Lesnar by TKO

Fight Analysis: While I was REALLY hoping to see Wanderlei Silva again, this will definitely be an interesting matche. Leben, while not as tough as Wanderlei, has a similar, brawling style. I think that Akiyama will try to stand with Leben, but when he can’t knock him out he will take him to the ground for a submission. Akiyama is a different class of fighter, IMO, than Leben. Leben DOES have a puncher’s chance, though.

Prediction: Akiyama by Submission

Fight Analysis: With the first battle ending in a rear-naked choke by Chris Lytle, it will be interesting how this fight plays out. Matt Brown is, technically, the better boxer. However, Lytle has unbelievable power and will use it in this fight to knock out Matt Brown. I see this fight ending quickly with Brown on the canvas.

Prediction: Chris Lytle by TKO.

Fight Analysis: This will be yet another battle, much like the first. I see this one going the distance, though, with no head-butt-stoppage. Bonnar is the more active of the 2 fighters and the more cerebral. He has now seen what Krzysztof can do and will most certainly outmaneuver and outbox him. I don’t think Bonnar can knock out Sosz, but will most certainly win a decision

Prediction: Stephan Bonnar by Decision.

Fight Analysis: This is going to be a much better fight than most people are understanding. Pelligrino (‘Batman’) has a ton of experience, heart, and power. He will definitely look to ‘take it to’ Sotiropoulos. George has a great stand up game and quality BJJ. George wins this game on the ground, so Kurt will definitely keep it standing. However, Sotiropoulus also has the better (more crisp) standup. This fight will go all the way to the end because Sotiropoulos cannot knock out Pelligrino (IMO) and I doubt he will tag George like he probably hopes.

Prediction: George Sotiropoulos by Decision.
