If this card draws a big buy rate, then we can thank GSP and Kos (and TUF). Interesting fights but no others to write home about… so to speak.
prelims
Pat Audinwood v John Makdessi
Ricardo Almedia v TJ Grant
Joe Doerksen v Dan Miller
Sean Pierson v Matthew Riddle
Jesse Bongfeldt v Rafeal Natal
Mark Bocek v Dustin Hazelett
Main Card
Thiago Alves -290 v John Howard +240
I thought after Alves missed weight last time he couldn’t fight at 170 in the UFC again. Or maybe I made that up in my head. Either way, someone is(should) get knocked out here. Howard has one-punch KO power but maybe Alves can open up with his kicks.
Mac Danzig +250 v Joe Stevenson -300
Joe Daddy should be able to muscle Danzig around the cage.
Jim Miller +110 v Charles Oliveira -140
I know Oliveira looked impressive last time out, but isn’t Miller the more experienced fighter? Every time I pick against Miller, I feel like a fool 2 minutes into the fight when he’s riding the other guy around like a mule. Tough call but I’ll say Miller.
Sean McCorkle +120 v Stefan Struve -150
Proof that smack talk can elevate your career. Co-Main event? Last thread I ran a segment pointing out Stephan Bonner versus Pokaajvauienvk was the weakest main event for a TUF Finale. I won’t do the leg work but this has to be one of the lamest co-main events of all time. Having said all that, I am kind of looking forward to it. Struve by TKO.
Welterweight Championship Fight
Champ Georges “Rush” St. Pierre -450 v Josh “I’m not dating Holly Madison” Koscheck +330
This line seems based on the fact that lots of money will roll in on the side of GSP. In actuality, this is a much closer fight… right?
GSP outwrestles everyone but Koscheck took him down in their last fight. Standing, Kos’ right hand can land and do damage at any moment.
GSP is the better all-around fighter. The home crowd should be epic.
I’ll go with the upset and pick Koscheck because I am pretty sure as bad as my picks have been, I’ll be wrong here… double reverse jinx.
