UFC 79 Nemesis - Our Predictions
Here they are… Our predictions (not based upon current odds, please check the UFC Nemesis Odds to bet according to real, up to date odds):
#1 Matchup Prediction:
Chuck ‘The Iceman‘ Liddell VS Wanderlei ‘The Axe Murderer‘ Silva
Chuck has the best takedown defense in the weight class, he has world class knockout power, and he will keep Silva just out of reach while pulling him in for the knockout punch. Chuck by KO.
#2 Matchup Prediction:
Matt Hughes VS Georges ‘Rush‘ St. Pierre
Matt Hughes is READY for this fight. Let’s not forget Matt’s dominance over the years he has been in the UFC. Georges WILL get slammed this time around and once matt has a hold of him, it will be short work. Hughes by submission.
#3 Matchup Prediction:
Lyoto Machida VS Rameau Sokoudjou
While Lyoto is an amazingly evasive fighter, I believe Sokoudjou’s raw power is going to completely overtake Machida. Sokoudjou by KO
#4 Matchup Prediction:
Rich Clementi VS Melvin Guillard
Look for Melvin to come out swinging fast and furious as he looks to prove a point and knock out Rich Clementi in quick fashion. However, Clementi will weather that storm. Clementi by decision.

I half agree with you.
Chuck Liddell wins by TKO!
Georges St-Pierre wins by TKO!
Machida will frustrate Soko and win by Submission!
Clementi will easily withstand Guillard’s onslaught and beat him by frustrating the crap out of him and picking him apart… by Decision!
For the Soa/Sanchez Fight:
Sanchez wins by TKO!
