UFC 102

[LouisianaHuskerFan]

A few weeks away but I'm really looking forward to this card. Here are my predictions:

MAIN CARD

Randy Couture vs. Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira

Keith Jardine vs. Thiago Silva

Chris Leben vs. Jake Rosholt

Demian Maia vs. Nate Marquardt

Krzysztof Soszynski vs. Brandon Vera

PRELIMINARY CARD

Gabriel Gonzaga vs. Chris Tuchscherer

Justin McCully vs. Mike Russow

Todd Duffee vs. Tim Hague

Nick Catone vs. Mark Munoz

Marcus Aurelio vs. Evan Dunham

Ed Herman vs. Aaron Simpson

Really looking forward to Maia v. Marquardt. Maia is a stud on the ground. He is one of the few that I believe can beat Anderson Silva.

Damn, SOCAL slippin again...

Couture

Jardine (even tho I can't stand his a$$)

Leben

Marquardt

Soszynski (the guy looks like a f'n animal)

So far, the Marquardt KO was F'n brutal. Maia was completely airborne for almost a second.

And the Ref that didn't call Leben's tap was horrible.

The Duffee KO of Hague was f'n crazy

The old fart Randy just didn't have it in him. Good fight though. I wish it would have been 5 rounds.

The BEST FIGHT OF THE YEAR right there in my book. I was rooting for Couture but that was one hell of a fight and Couture shouldn't be ashamed of that. He got out of what 2-3 submission attempts?

That he did. You could tell Minotauro wanted to submit him.

I think Randy may have to hang it up, as much as that pains me to say. Dana could put him on cards and he'd wipe the floor with the lower tier fighters, but once you get to the top 3 or 4 guys, he just can't do it anymore. The guys only 46 for cryin out loud...

He just signed a 6 fight deal, so he'll be around for a while.

It wouldn't have lasted that long anyway. Couture was dropped in the first round and it should have been ref stoppage in the 3rd rd if you ask me when Minotauro dropped him and continued to pound him.
