UFC 114 Predictions

Posted on by

UFC 114 is tonight on pay-per-view and SPIKE has the pre-fights for free.  Here is how I think things will go:

Waylon Lowe vs. Melvin The Young Assassin Guillard. I’m not a Guillard fan.  With that said, he’s just going to be too much for Lowe. 

Prediction: Guillard by TKO.

Dan The Upgrade Lauzon vs. Efrain Hecho en Mexico Escudero. Oddsmakers have Escudero as a huge favorite.  I think they’re right.   

Prediction: Escudero by TKO.

Dong The Stun Gun Hyun Kim vs. Amir Sadollah. This should be a closer fight than the two previous match ups.  Sadollah is a likeable guy, but that’s not much help in the cage. 

Prediction: Kim by decision.

John The Hitman Hathaway vs. Diego The Nightmare Sanchez. I really thought that Diego was going to be able to do more with BJ Penn in their fight.  Despite the fact that Penn dominated, Diego kept coming.  That’s one of the reasons that Diego is one of my favorite fighters.  This should be a close, tough match tonight.  I think the edge will go to Diego because he won’t quit looking for a way to win. 

Prediction: Diego Sanchez by decision.

Jason The Hitman Brilz vs. Antonio Rogerio Nogueira. So we have two “Hitman” fighting on the same card.  Unfortunately for Brilz, I’m predicting a loss for both Hitmen tonight.  Nogueira is just too tough. 

Prediction: Nogueira by early TKO or submission.

Mike Russow vs. Todd Duffee. Don’t go for snacks on this one. 

Prediction: Duffee wins by 1st round KO or TKO.

Dan Miller vs. Michael The Count Bisping. I think that this one will go the distance in a fight controlled by one fighter. 

Prediction: Bisping by unanimous decision.

Rashad Suga Evans vs. Quinton Rampage Jackson. The fight the world has been waiting for.  Most folks who are in the know think it will be Rampage by KO or TKO… and it very well could be.  I think that Evans‘ speed, wrestling and ability to take a fighter out of his game plan combined with Jackson’s inactivity in the cage for the last year will all come into play.  This is a tough one to call.  I’m going with my heart and not my head. 

Prediction: Evans by decision.
