UFC 101 Predictions

Posted on by

UFC 101 is Saturday night and if I’m going to see the fights it’ll be at a local joint. That’s because there are really only two fights on the card that I care about, but they should both be excellent.

Anderson Silva is a 3 to 1 favorite to keep his nine fight winning streak alive when he faces off against Forrest Griffin.  Although Silva is the more polished fighter, you can be sure that Griffin is going to go in swinging and try to wear down Silva over the course of the fight.  Silva is perhaps the best pound for pound fighter in mixed martial arts, but I’m going to go for the big upset and take Griffin. 

BJ Penn is favored to beat Kenny Florian, despite Florian’s six fight and three year undefeated streak.  Penn is called the Prodigy, but again, I’m going with the underdog and picking Florian. 

Yeah, I know.  Odds are against me big time this weekend.
