Lesnar vs Carwin: Predictions

Posted on by

Tonight is perhaps the biggest MMA fight card ever!  The live gate is sold out and the prediction is that there will be a million buys of the pay-per-view.  The undercard is solid, but it’s the main event pitting UFC Heavyweight Champion Brock Lesnar against undefeated, UFC Interim Champion Shane Carwin.  Both men are beasts.

Let’s take a look at the entire card along with my predictions:

Kendall “da Spyder” Grove vs. Goran Reljic.  Although this may not be televised, it should be a good match.  Grove has more experience but is a slight underdog due to Reljic’s better record (13-7 vs 8-1).

  • Prediction: Grove pulls out a win in a tough match.

Seth “The Silverback” Petruzelli vs. Ricardo Romero.  (Will air on SPIKE TV LIVE starting at 9PM EST) This should be another close bout.  Will “The Silverback” be able to take out Romero like he did Kimbo Slice?

  • Prediction: Petruzelli takes the win.

Brendan “The Hybrid” Schaub vs. Chris “The Crowbar” Tuchscherer. (Will air on SPIKE TV LIVE starting at 9PM EST)  Both fighters have excellent records (6-1 vs 18-2) but Schaub goes in the favorite.

  • Prediction: Schaub wins via TKO.

Kurt “Batman” Pellegrino vs. George Sotiropoulos. Another great fight between two fighters with excellent records (21-4 vs 12-2).  Pellegrino has more experience, is a fan favorite, and a nickname that makes it hard to go against him, but…

  • Prediction: Sotiropoulos with the victory in a tough bout.

Stephan “The American Psycho” Bonnar vs. Krzysztof “The Polish Experiment” Soszynski.  This should be another excellent fight.  Both men have similar records (20-10 vs 14-7).

  • Prediction: Soszynski earns the “W”

Matt “The Immortal”  Brown vs. Chris “Lights Out” Lytle. This is a fight many are saying will be the fight of the night! That says a lot considering it’s on the same card as Lesnar vs Carwin.  Lytle goes in the favorite.

  • Prediction:  In an upset, Matt Brown gets a hard fought victory.

Chris “The Crippler” Leben vs. Yoshihiro Akiyama. Although Leben fought (and won) just two weeks ago, he’s ready to step into the octagon again.  Leben goes in the underdog, but…

  • Prediction: Leben toughs out another victory.

Shane Carwin vs. Brock Lesnar. Let the 4th of July fireworks start now!

  • Prediction: Carwin takes the title!
