UFC 108 Predictions

It’s that time again, as I make predictions about the unpredictable sport of MMA. It has been a minute since I have had the chance to get on here as I have been working on the launch of our new design. All in due time, but lets jump right into it, I know that’s what you are all looking for:

Light Heavyweight bout: Randy Couture vs. Mark Coleman
Randy Couture by Decision
Randy is favored to win and for good reasons. He definitely has the track record to make me confident in this decision. Not to say Coleman has not improved as he is looking the best we have seen ever!

Middleweight bout: Nate Marquardt vs. Chael Sonnen

Nate Marquardt 2nd round TKO

Chael Sonnen has been running his mouth lately, and he does have the skills to back it up; they just aren’t on the same level as Marquardt’s camp I feel.

Welterweight bout: Mike Swick vs. Paulo Thiago

Mike Swick 1st round KO

Though I chose Swick for a dominating first round KO, I think this is still a punchers chance fight. Could go either way.

Middleweight bout: Demian Maia vs. Dan Miller

Dan Miller by TKO 3rd round

Maia, I feel has not fully regained his confidence after his brutal KO from the hands of Marquard. That can shake up a Jiu-Jitsu aces game.

Welterweight bout: Matt Serra vs. Frank Trigg

Matt Serra by Decision

As much as I would like to see Trigg winning in the UFC, I think Serra is more of a dark horse then people realize in this fight. Watch Carter vs. Serra. Serra lost the bout, but is a perfect example of his versatility.

Lightweight bout: Mac Danzig vs. Justin Buchholz

Mac Danzig by 1st round KO

Danzig is a natural talent that has fallen on bad times. I believe he is aware of the severity of this match to stay in the UFC. He will be hungry for this W.

Lightweight bout: Melvin Guillard vs. Ronys Torres
