UFC 136 Picks

Steve Cantwell over Mike Massenzio
X LOSER Cantwell controlled round one but it was all Massenzio after that. 

Aaron Simpson over Eric Shafer
√ WINNER Shafer sucks, dumbest fighter I ever saw. Simpson just schooled him on their feet. Shafer never did more than throw a left hook once in awhile.

Tiequan Zhang over Darren Elkins
X LOSER Don't bother watching this one. Easy call, bell rings Elkins shoots, Zhang goes for guillotine, Elkins scrambles out and ends up on top roughing up Zhang. Repeat for 2 more rounds!

Stipe Miocic over Joey Beltran
√ WINNER Stand and bang, that's the story of this one. Beltran lasts all 3 rounds but Miocic got the best of it in every round.

Anthony Pettis over Jeremy Stephens
√ WINNER Stephens won the first round. Pettis controlled Stephens for the rest of the fight. Not the kind of fireworks I expected. Pettis wins by split decision.

Demian Maia over Jorge Santiago
√ WINNER Maia kept taking him down. Santiago was good enough on the ground to not get submitted. Typical Maia fight, mostly lay and pray! He won it easily though.

Nam Phan over Leonard Garcia
√ WINNER another barn burner between these two. Fun fight to watch.

Melvin Guillard over Joe Lauzon
X LOSER Lauzon caught Melvin with a chopping left hook, Guillard goes to the ground and Lauzon rolled him over and choked him for the tap.

Chael Sonnen over Brian Stann
√ WINNER Chael controlled it from the second the bell rang. Made it look easy! Afterward he called out Anderson Silva.."If I win, you leave the weight division..If you win, I'll leave the UFC!"

Kenny Florian over Jose Aldo
X LOSER Kenny came for a fight but it didn't happen. The fight went the distance and Kenny didn't pull anything effective. Boring fight.

Gray Maynard over Frankie Edgar
X LOSER 1st round, carbon copy of their last fight. Maynard had Edgar in trouble and let him off. Edgar gets his composure in the 2nd round and begins taking control again. 4th Round Edgar catches Maynard with a right hook and staggers him. Edgar pounces and finishes the fight. Nice job Frankie..That's why you're the champ!
