quick ufc 91 predictions

lesnar vs couture: LESNAR
bad matchup for randy. lesnar is too big, too athletic, too good at wrestling and top position, and looks to have a huge reach advantage. couture's not gonna win with striking either from outside or from the tie up. couture's game is all about the tie up. but lesnar's fists and grappling skills are more than enough to nullify randy's clinch game. that, and lesnar is right about randy having trouble with defending from bottom against big grapplers. cases in point: couture/barnett and couture/ricco. oh..and those weigh-in pics. lesnar looks strong, couture looks weak. i think the unstoppable frate trane called brock lesnar starts picking up steam tonight.

the next 2 fights, i dont feel strongly about. i just think they'll probly boost my fight prediction record sooner. heh.

florian vs stevenson: FLORIAN
florian has the huge advantage in striking. plus florian is a cutter and joe is a bleeder. not good for joe. florian has the advantage on the ground. joes only real chance in this fight is to use his only advantage, takedowns, to put florian on his back and hold him there for a decision. i think florian can bring it back to the feet though and probably cut his way to victory.

bocek vs robertson: BOCEK
go kid red. theyre both grapplers. bocek, however, has a competition resume that lightyears more accomplished than robertson's. dont know much about robinson xcept his only losses have been against good bjj/sub guys, which kid red is. kid red's only losses have come from strikes, a style in which robertson does not xcel.
