<\/strong>\"\"<\/p>\n

UFC 114<\/strong> is tonight on pay-per-view and SPIKE<\/strong> has the pre-fights for free.\u00a0 Here is how I think things will go:<\/p>\n

Waylon Lowe<\/strong> vs. Melvin <\/strong>The Young Assassin <\/em>Guillard. <\/strong>I’m not a Guillard fan.\u00a0 With that said, he’s just going to be too much for Lowe<\/strong>.\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Prediction: Guillard by TKO.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Dan <\/strong>The Upgrade<\/em> Lauzon <\/strong>vs. Efrain <\/strong><\/strong>Hecho en Mexico<\/em> Escudero<\/strong>. <\/strong>Oddsmakers have Escudero<\/strong> <\/strong>as a huge favorite.\u00a0 I think they’re right. \u00a0\u00a0 <\/strong><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Prediction: Escudero by TKO.<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n

Dong <\/strong>The Stun Gun<\/em> Hyun Kim <\/strong>vs. Amir Sadollah. <\/strong><\/strong>This should be a closer fight than the two previous match ups.\u00a0 Sadollah<\/strong> is a likeable guy, but that’s not much help in the cage.\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Prediction: Kim by decision.<\/strong><\/p>\n

John <\/strong>The Hitman<\/em> Hathaway<\/strong> vs. Diego <\/strong>The Nightmare<\/em> Sanchez. <\/strong>I really thought that Diego<\/strong> was going to be able to do more with BJ Penn<\/strong> in their fight.\u00a0 Despite the fact that Penn<\/strong> dominated, Diego<\/strong> kept coming.\u00a0 That’s one of the reasons that Diego<\/strong> is one of my favorite fighters.\u00a0 This should be a close, tough match tonight.\u00a0 I think the edge will go to Diego<\/strong> because he won’t quit looking for a way to win.\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Prediction: Diego Sanchez by decision. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Jason<\/strong> The Hitman<\/em> Brilz<\/strong> vs. Antonio Rogerio Nogueira.<\/strong> So we have two “Hitman” <\/em>fighting on the same card.\u00a0 Unfortunately for Brilz<\/strong>, I’m predicting a loss for both Hitmen<\/em> tonight.\u00a0 Nogueira<\/strong> is just too tough.\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Prediction: Nogueira by early TKO or submission.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Mike Russow<\/strong> vs. Todd Duffee. <\/strong>Don’t go for snacks on this one.\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Prediction: Duffee wins by 1st round KO or TKO<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Dan Miller<\/strong> vs. Michael <\/strong>The Count<\/em> Bisping. <\/strong><\/strong>I <\/strong>think that this one will go the distance in a fight controlled by one fighter.\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Prediction: Bisping by unanimous decision.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Rashad <\/strong>Suga<\/em> Evans<\/strong> vs. Quinton<\/strong> Rampage<\/em> Jackson. <\/strong>The fight the world has been waiting for.\u00a0 Most folks who are in the know think it will be Rampage<\/strong> by KO<\/strong> or TKO<\/strong>… and it very well could be.\u00a0 I think that Evans<\/strong>‘ speed, wrestling and ability to take a fighter out of his game plan combined with Jackson’s inactivity in the cage<\/strong> for the last year will all come into play.\u00a0 This is a tough one to call.\u00a0 I’m going with my heart and not my head.\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Prediction: Evans by decision.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
