UFC 111 Predictions
UFC 111 is tonight. That means it’s time for predictions:
- Ricardo “Big Dog” Almeida vs Matt “The Immortal” Brown.
Prediction: The Immortal will put the Big Dog down. Brown by TKO.
- Nate Diaz vs Rory Markham.
Prediction: Diaz by stoppage [even if he takes a beating before doing it].
- Jon Fitch vs Ben “Killa B” Saunders. Saunders is taking the fight on very short notice. He was prepared to fight on the undercard, so he’s in shape and he asked for the fight when Alves didn’t pass the pre-fight physical. I like Saunders, and really admire his willingness to step up, but think that Fitch will be a bit too much.
Prediction: The “Killa B” loses by decision.
- Kurt “Batman” Pellegrino vs Fabricio “Morango” Camoes.
Prediction: How can you go against “Batman”? Pellegrino will earn the victory.
- Frank Mir vs Shane Carwin. THIS is the fight that I’m really excited about. Carwin is a BEAST. He’s 11-0 and never been past the first round. How can I take Mir? How could anyone?
Prediction: Mir in an upset.
- Georges “Rush” St-Pierre vs Dan “The Outlaw” Hardy. The odds-on favorite is GSP, but Hardy does have a punchers chance. [Anyone remember Matt Serra?]
Prediction: GSP will arrest the outlaw.

Nice picks, a lot of these fights outside of the main event can go either way. I think the odds on Carwin/Mir are pretty close to even, but I’ve read most people taking Mir.
