UFC 99 Results

UFC 99 are in.  Let’s see how my predictions held up…

Marcus “The Irish Hand Grenade” Davis Vs. Dan “The Outlaw” Hardy: What made this fight interesting was a real dislike stemming from Hardy calling Davis a “fake Irish man”. I went with the fake Irish Man over the fake Outlaw.  Unfortunately, at least for Davis and me the “fake Outlaw” won via split decision.

Spencer Fisher Vs. Caol Uno: Fisher eeked out a unanimous [29-28 on all three cards] decision.  I thought it would be an easier win, but I was right in picking Fisher.

Mike Swick Vs. Ben Saunders: Swick won via a second round stoppage defeating Saunders who I had picked to win.

Mirko Cro Cop Vs. Mostapha Al Turk: I picked Cro Cop, who won via a first round stoppage [which turned out to be caused by an eye poke].  Surprisingly, the finger poke wasn’t the most controversial aspect of Cro Cop’s night.  You can read how Cro Cop pulled a fast one on Dana White here.

Cheick Kongo Vs. Cain Velasquez:: I thought that Cain would have his way with Congo and it would end before the final bell.  Cain did dominate the fight, but it went the full three rounds with Cain winning on all cards 30-27.

Rich Franklin Vs. Wanderlei Silva: I predicted an entertaining fight with Franklin winning.  It was and he did.
