UFC 106

As you may know UFC 106 is tommorow night and here are my picks for the night

For the undercard, I am going with Brian Foster, Caol Uno, and George Sotiropoulos over Jason Dent. I hope George dominates Jason Dent because my personal take on Jason Dent is that he did not represent Ohio gyms well enough on the ultimate fighter and to put it simply I think he sucks.

For the fights on Spike TV, I am going with Kendall Grove over Jake Rosholt and Ben Saunders over Marcus Davis (upset of the night). I have always been a Kendall Grove fan thus I am pulling for my boy, and im looking forward to a great fight between Saunders and Davis. This fight is going to be interesting because we are gonna see if Davis can rebound after his tough loss against Dan Hardy. I like Ben Saunders alot because he is such a chill fighter. He keeps a cool head and does not let the pressure get to him. Davis is going to be feeling alot of pressure to rebound so he can get back into the top of his division, and when the bombs start flying (both of these guys are going to want to stand) Saunders is going to come out on top.

Now for the main card, I am going with Paulo Thiago, Nog, Amir Sadollah, my favorite Anthony Johnson and Forrest Griffin. I got Nog by submission, but that is never that hard to call. Im interested to see how Sadollah reacts to being back in the UFC after being plagued with injuries. I liked him alot on the ultimate fighter and I am defintely pulling for him. This brings us to Anthony Johnson vs Josh Koscheck. This will be fight of the night. It is a clash of competiting styles. Johnson the man with the knockout power at any given moment, and Koscheck the decorated wrestler. Koscheck will look to take the fight to the ground ASAP, but I think in the process he is going to leave himself open for the knockout punch. Johnson is going to win in a highlight reel finish. Griffin vs Tito will be a three round decision going to Griffin. Tito is resilient but he is going to get gassed. Griffin is going to work him with leg kicks and defend Tito's attempts to take him down. Thus, the decision will inevitably fall to Griffin. Deep down I want to see a Griffin knockout, but hes going to be more cautious during the fight after getting his ass whooped by Silva (nothing against Griffin because Silva is the best fighter on the Earth).

The Swami has spoken...enjoy the fights!
