How to bet on a UFC Fight

Fight Analysis: This is another one of those fights where it could stay standing (and one fighter would win), but if it goes to the ground it would be a drastically different outcome. Jardine is looking to stop his 3 losses in devastating fashion, but will he be able to stop Matt Hamill from taking him down? My bet is that this fight will be on the ground quite a bit and, as a result, Hamill will take a decision victory.

Prediction: Matt Hamill by Decision.

Fight Analysis: These 2 are very hungry to be in the UFC. They both love to trade punches with McCray leaning a bit more towards takedowns when the fight becomes too intense. Look for this to be a similar rematch where McGee and McCray both come out strong in standup. McCray will get rocked a couple times in this match, IMO, and will lean even more towards takedowns. This fight will go to the end, but McGee will take the last 2 rounds and pull out the decision-victory.

Prediction: McGee by Decision.

Fight Analysis: Leben edges this one out by a large margin with a ton of experience and a ton of heart. Leben has a solid chin and a crazy, fearless approach to standup. Simpson has not yet fought anyone like Leben, who refuses to be knocked out. Look for this fight to be a crazy battle in the 1st round. As the fight progresses, Simpson will get tired and, if he stays standing (which I believe he will), he will lose.

Prediction: Chris Leben by TKO

Fight Analysis: If this fight stays standing, it will be an easy victory for Spencer Fisher.  His standup game is much more crisp than Siver’s and he has fought a ton of highly skilled fighters.  He is, technically, the better stand up fighter.  The ground game is Siver’s only chance in victory (IMO), but Spencer has a very effective ground defense and good submissions.

Prediction: Spencer Fisher by Decision.

Our second prediction is (I believe) the ‘co-main event’. Although I hate that categorization, I do like this matchup.

Mirko Cro Cop
Mirko Cro Cop is a Croatian fighter who had a storied career in Pride. Since is foray into the UFC, his prowess has declined and he has left his trademark high kicks and favors punching. He is slower and has not looked great since starting in the UFC, but still has fearsome standup skills.

Pat Barry
Pat Barry has incredible leg kicks (many say the strongest in the division and maybe the UFC). He has a great stand up game.

Prediction: This fight , without a doubt, will be a stand up match. Look for Mirko to start slow, but finish this fight in the second round by TKO.

Our first prediction for the upcoming UFC 115 event is the Chuck ‘The Iceman’ Liddell versus Rich ‘Ace’ Franklin main event.

Chuck Liddell
‘The Iceman’ has long been a feared contendor in the octagon with his incredible standup as well as his incredible takedown defense. His counter punching is legendary and has more knockouts than many UFC fighters have fights. He will fight to the end and never quit.

Rich Franklin
‘Ace’ is also a UFC veteran and has a ton of heart, a quick jab, and unerringly accurate punching. He has a solid ground game and great takedown defense as well. He is diverse in his striking and brings a lot of angles to the fight.

Prediction: This fight WILL go the distance. Franklin will avoid the heavy blows of Liddell (although he will get tagged a couple times) and, in typical Franklin-style, he will land more blows (including kicks). This will be a unanimous decision by the judges and not a disputed one by the fans.
