Here are Mine:
Georges St. Pierre vs. BJ Penn
Winner - Georges St. Pierre
Method - TKO, R3
Why - I personally think GSP is too much this time for BJ. Sure BJ and GSP both have great striking, but I see GSP having an advantage on the ground, keeping from submissions and holding BJ to the mat. He will tire BJ in first two rounds, escaping submission attempts, and finish with a barage of punch from mount or back-mount.
Thiago Silva vs. Lyoto Machida
Winner - Thiago Silva
Method - TKO, R2
Why - I feel like the beginning of the first will be a feeling out stage, both will test distance and pace. Thiago will come out strong, and try not to run straight into Lyoto. He will circle and throw hooks and body shots as he circles. Starting round 2, Lyoto will use decent kicks, maybe getting caught in a takedown. Thiago counters submission attempts and finishes from the mount.
Stephan Bonnar vs. Jon Jones
Winner - Stephan Bonnar
Method - Submission, R2
Why - Bonnar will try to push the pace, using decent striking, leg kicks and counter anything Jones throws, who seems to be more of a stand up fighter, from looking at his record. I don't know exactly what kind of ground game Jones has, but he seems to preffer striking. At the start of round two, Stephan will strike a bit and go for a take down. He will work some GnP and a scrambling Jones will be caught in an armbar or choke.
Karo Parisyan vs. Dong Hyun Kim
Winner - Dong Hyum Kim
Method - TKO, R3
Why - Both fighters have alot of experience. Kim has an edge in striking, while Parisyan prefers submissions and decisions. Karo has won many battles by keeping the pace and winning a decision. I think that will be the case for the first two rounds. Karo will push the pace, hungry for a win. As round three begins, Karo begins to slow while a tenative Kim finishes Karo with punches.
Nate Diaz vs. Clay Guida
Winner - Clay Guida
Method - Unanimous Decision
Why - While both brandish great records, Guida still has the experience. Diaz is young still, and has not made many mistakes in his game. He has been exposed though. For instance, he won a close fight with Neer, who controlled the fight with wrestling, which is Guidas bread and butter. Guida will use his unorthodox boxing and clean double and single leg take downs, and lay on Diaz and utilize some GnP and in the end Guida will pull off a decision.
Well those are my picks, anyone agree or disagree? Any form of criticism would be great. Thanks guys.
