UFC 134 Results

UFC 134 results are in.  They say, “Two out of three ain’t bad” and that’s the best I could muster with my picks…

• Anderson Silva vs. Yushin Okami
  Thoughts: Okami was the last man to beat Silva. He should have rested on his laurels.
  Prediction: Silva by KO
  Result: Silva KO’d Okami in round 1

• Mauricio Rua vs. Forrest Griffin
  Thoughts: Griffin won the last time they met, but his prefight talk about not getting any better as a fighter has me concerned. I hope Griffin wins, but don’t feel confident about it so…
  Prediction: Rua via decision
  Result: Rua KO’d Griffin in round 1

• Brendan Schaub vs. Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira
  Thoughts: The fight doesn’t always go to the younger, the faster and the stronger, but that is the way to bet
• Prediction: Schaub via TKO
  Result: Nogueri KO’d Shaub in round 1

Final thoughts…

• My hats off to Nog for scoring the upset win.
• Forrest Griffin needs to get his head on straight if he’s going to continue fighting.  His prefight talk indicated that he thinks he’s stopped progressing.
• I want to see Silva fight Sonnen again.
• Next card: UFC Fight Night 25: Battle on the Bayou – Free on SPIKE
