UFC 128 Picks

Benevidez over Loveland
√ WINNER unanimous decision 30-27 all three judges

Tibau over Pellegrino
√ WINNER split decision for Tibau

Pyle over Almeida
√ WINNER unanimous decision

Barboza to DESTROY Njokuani
√ WINNER Barboza eeked out a victory, Njokuani was way better than I gave him credit. The spinning back kick with seconds in the fight was the clincher!

Marshall over Cane *UPDATE*..I'll take Cane instead, I thought it was Doug, "the Rhino" Marshall!
√ WINNER Changed the pick when I saw the fighters...and realized it wasn't Doug Marshall. It was a TKO in about 2 minutes.
No more changes...if you didn't see the update before the fight, I know it looks cheesy, but it was up before they started the fight.

Schaub handing Cro cop another defeat
√ WINNER Mirko suffers another brutal knockout! He looked pretty decent this time around until Schaub caught him mid-kick with a punch that dropped him like the Gonzaga knockout. Good fight!

Miller to squeak one out over Marquardt
X LOSER Marquardt looked great, you never know which Nate is going to show up..Miller threatened a few times via guillotine, but couldn't handle Nate. Good win against a very game opponent!

Shalorus may surprise and beat Miller
Damn, I got the two Miller brothers mixed up too.. I like Jim Miller but I'll stick to my pick.
X LOSER Yep, I had the two Miller brothers mixed up but Jim just knocked his ass out!

Faber over Wineland
√ WINNER Urijah took control from the 2nd round and had the speed to get takedowns and land good solid strikes. He wasn't even out of breath during the interview.

Jon Jones to brutalize Shogun Rua
√ WINNER Total destruction by Jones! Three rounds of just absolute beatdown...I don't think anybody is going to beat Jones for a long time. Only weakness I see is he might get submitted by a good jiu jitsu guy...not likely with his reach and unusual strikes. Let's see Anderson Silva move up to 205 against this kid...would get his ass stomped!

Good fights tonight! I loved it.
