Our fifth pick is for the Rich ‘No Love’ Clementi versus Sam ‘Hands of Stone’ Stout fight and this is one fight that could truly go either way.

Rich Clementi is an EXCELLENT ground gamer and has shown that he has enough stand up ability to hold off a good striker until submission time during his last fight against Guillard. Rich looks better and better on each fight and I believe he is looking for this fight to solidify his increasing reputation.

Sam Stout is one of the best strikers out there with a heavy set of hands that can hang with the best of them. He has an excellent chin and is nearly impossible to knock out. His heart is as big as his hands are heavy… Sam is not a fighter that gives up.

FIGHT ANALYSIS: Sam Stout is going to do his best to keep this fight standing. That is the only place where he has the ability to end the fight. Rich is no newbie to getting hit with hard fists, though, and will bide his time until the opening is there for a quick takedown. Rich will get that takedown and end this fight in quick fashion. In the end… CLEMENTI BY TKO.

Our fourth pick is for the Marc Bocek versus Mac Danzig fight and this one we feel is a little more worrisome than a few of the others. This could be a long drawn out fight with Bocek on top or a quick and perfectly executed win by Danzig.

Marc Bocek is a ground-game fighter with a compliment of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and wrestling skills.  He has been training with Team Quest (Henderson’s group) and may come to this fight with a few new tricks in his bad.

Mac Danzig is a very experienced (although in different arenas than the UFC) fighter with excellent striking skills, top notch defense, and the abiliy to out-think most of his opponents.

FIGHT ANALYSIS: Marc Bocek will look to shoot in on Danzig for a takedown and work him over with wrestling and BJJ.  Mac Danzig has seen this type of fighter before and knows how to defend against it.  Mac is also a very tightly controlled fighter and will likely not allow Bocek an opening for the takedown.  Look for Danzig to keep Bocek from taking him to the ground with a series of well-timed, accurate strikes.  In the end… DANZIG BY TKO.

UFC 83 is just around the corner on April 19, 2008! There are quite a few (11) fights on this UFC 83 Fight Card.

The most exciting fight, by far is the rematch between Matt ‘The Terror’ Serra and Georges ‘Rush’ St. Pierre! Georges will be in his homeland of Canada for this fight and all signs point to him being a bit upset at Matt’s mouth. George was TKO’d out by the hard fists of Matt Serra in the last fight back in 2007, but can that happen again? Matt Serra says the fight won’t last 5 rounds…. ‘It’s either him or me’, he says.
