How can you go against <strong>Vegas Bookmakers<\/strong> AND the fans? <strong>My prediction<\/strong> is <strong>Lesnar wins<\/strong> [but I\u2019d take <strong>Mir <\/strong>if I could could decent odds].<\/p>\n<p><strong>GSP vs. Alves<\/strong> &#8211; <strong>GSP<\/strong> is looked at as either the greatest pound-for-pound fighter fighting today or second to <strong>Anderson Silva<\/strong>.\u00a0 If <strong>GSP<\/strong> can beat <strong>Alves<\/strong> [who is currently on a long win streak], he gets that much closer to the hall of fame legacy he wants. <strong>Alves<\/strong> is a beast. He\u2019s huge. He\u2019s skilled. He wants the title. <strong>My prediction<\/strong> is a<strong> GSP<\/strong> victory and we\u2019re one step closer to him fighting <strong>Anderson Silva<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Henderson vs. Bisbing<\/strong> &#8211; I like both of these guys. I\u2019m surprised that <strong>Henderson <\/strong>is the <strong>big favorite<\/strong>. While it\u2019s true that <strong>Bisping<\/strong> has had the most trouble with good wrestlers, I thought <strong>Henderson\u2019s age<\/strong> would be more of a factor. <strong>My prediction<\/strong>: <strong>Henderson<\/strong> wins a tough fight by decision.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Fitch vs. Thiago<\/strong> &#8211; I can\u2019t come up with a better prediction than <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/ryancody.blogspot.com\/2009\/07\/ufc-100-picks.html\" target=\"_blank\">Ryan Cody<\/a><\/strong> when he said: <strong>Fitch<\/strong> wins by crazy beard.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bonnar vs. Coleman<\/strong> &#8211; A lot of the popularity of the <strong>UFC<\/strong> can be traced back to the first <strong>Ultimate Fighter<\/strong> finale when <strong>Bonnar<\/strong> and <strong>Forrest Griffin<\/strong> stood toe-to-toe for three rounds. It\u2019s said that the ratings for that event continued to go up as the fight went on because fans were calling friends and saying to tune in. Unfortunately, <strong>Bonnar\u2019s career<\/strong> since that fight has gone on a very different path than <strong>Griffin\u2019s<\/strong>. <strong>My prediction<\/strong>: <strong>Bonnar<\/strong> wins and perhaps gets a bit closer to becoming a headline <strong>UFC<\/strong> fighter.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lesnar vs. Mir &#8211; Although Mir tapped out Lesnar in the first round the last time they fought, Vegas Odds<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":912,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[66],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3290","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-mma","comments-off"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3290","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/912"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=3290"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3290\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3292,"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3290\/revisions\/3292"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=3290"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=3290"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=3290"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
