UFC This weekend.

[brothaman]

Predictions? Here's mine.

For the Heavyweight Championship Title
Randy Couture(Champion) vsPedro Rizzo(Challenger)

Pedro shocks the world. TKO second round

For the Welterweight Championship Title
Carlos Newton (Champion) vs Matt Hughes(Challenger)

Newton wins tecnical but boring contest by decision.

Lightweight Bout
Caol Uno vs BJ Penn

Penn dominates, gets decision but no submission.

Heavyweight
Ricco Rodriguez vs Pete Williams

Close fight, Ricco looks great and dominates on ground but a few key flurrys by Pete wins over judges.

Josh Barnett vs Bobby Hoffman

Bobby dominates early on but Josh pulls out an armbar out of nowhere late in 3rd.

Light Heavyweight
Evan Tanner vs Homer Moore

Homer Moore comes out swingin and nearly wins by ko. Evan hangs in there, shows poise and pulls off choke as Homer begins to gas out.

Preliminaries
Middleweight
Phil Baroni vs Matt Lindland

Matt Lindland by controversial decision. Not too exciting but an overall good fight nonetheless.

Heavyweight
Roberto Traven vs Frank Mir

Traven by submission early in 2nd round. His game has improved tremendously.

For the Heavyweight Championship Title
Randy Couture(Champion) vsPedro Rizzo(Challenger)

TKO second round. I agree. Pedro should get it done in the 2nd round this time like he should have last time.

For the Welterweight Championship Title
Carlos Newton (Champion) vs Matt Hughes(Challenger)

Newton by sub. Hughes has shown he doesn't defend subs very well. If Hallman can do it twice, so can Newton.

Lightweight Bout
Caol Uno vs BJ Penn

Penn decision in close fight. This is a great matchup.

Heavyweight
Ricco Rodriguez vs Pete Williams

Man, this is a tough one to pick. Another great matchup. Williams will surely outclass him in the striking dept. but I think Ricco is damn tough on the ground, especially in the top position. If i have to pick I will say Williams by KO.

Josh Barnett vs Bobby Hoffman

Barnett by sub. Hoffman can't hang standing or on the ground but I think Barnett will shoot early and end it quickly with a sub.

Light Heavyweight
Evan Tanner vs Homer Moore

?? Dont know who Homer Moore is.

Preliminaries
Middleweight
Phil Baroni vs Matt Lindland

Baroni has talked some sheeit. He sounds tough.
Can he back it up? Linland by ref stoppage.

Heavyweight
Roberto Traven vs Frank Mir

Traven by submission, 1st round.
