UFC Tonight

Tonight the UFC is putting on a really good card.  Predictions are that it will be the biggest UFC pay-per-view ever.  Although I’m not sure about that [I think that they could have picked a better date — this is the second pay-per-view this month and the day before the Super Bowl] — but  I do believe it’s going to be an excellent card.

Nate Diaz vs Clay Guida should be very entertaining.  Both are agressive, in your face fighters.  Diaz has height, reach and youth on his side and Guida has experience.  I’m going with Diaz.

Manny Gamburyan vs Thiago Tavares could be a technical battle.  I think that Tavares is going to be too much for Manny though.  I don’t think this will go the distance.

Karo Parisyan vs Dong Hyun Kim should be a great fight.  Kim is undefeated.  Karo has crazy skills and a ton of experience against tough opponents.  He may not be favored, but I’m pulling for Karo.

Jon Fitch vs Akihiro Gono aka “The Japanese Sensation.” I’ll be surprised if this one goes the distance.  Fitch for the victory.

Stephan “The American Psycho” Bonner vs Jon “Bones” Jones.  Jones is undefeated and Bonner is coming off an extended layoff due to injuries.  However, their nicknames alone seal the deal.  The Psycho will defeat Bones.

Lyoto Machida vs Thiago Silva.  How often do two undefeated, 13-0, fighters match up?  Not very.  They’re both 6’1″ and weigh 205.  Flip a coin, then sit back and enjoy the fireworks.

BJ Penn vs George St. Pierre for the UFC Welterweight Championship.  This is the second time that they will meet.  GSP won the first battle in a tough split decision match.  Both fighters are much better now and they were very good then.  This should be a war.  I’m going with GSP.  He’s the current title holder.  Penn is coming up in weight to fight him.  These two facts give GSP a slight edge, at least in my book.
