Hello Guys,
I am really excited for the fights tonight, I love the UFC ’cause it is electrifying. You never know who is gonna win, soon you will see me there! 🙂 OK these are my picks!
Randy Couture vs Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira
Minotauro by guillotine 3rd round, first cause he is my teacher, second cause he is the nicest guy you will ever meet, 3rd cause he is not too explosive but he keeps his phase the whole fight he has amazing cardio!
Keith Jardine vs Thiago Silva
Thiago by tko 1st or 2nd round, he looks much better hahahahah, he has amazing jiu-jitsu he already toy with Houston Alexander who’s stronger than keith, so the strategy is simple take him down and celebrate.
Nate Marquardt vs Demian Maia
Demian Maia 2nd round by submission. This one is tuff I trained with Nate in Pittsburg, he is amazing, really nice guy, amazing tecnique, he’s been fighting forever, but Demian is Jiu-Jitsu, appearences are deceiving and if I am correct the tecnique will beat power!
Brandon Vera vs Krzysztof Soszynski
Brandon by tko – first he is fillipino like me :), loyd irving brown belt that means a lot! now the sosynki was kind of a douche bag in the ultimate fighter show, he thinks he is the man, but I think he has a lot to learn, maybe one day I will show him.
Chris Leben vs Jake Rosholt
Leben tko – Leben loses a lot cause he just like to go crazy but today I think he will be more focused.

I honestly don’t see any major upsets in this one… maybe in the Couture fight but don’t see it happening. My addiction to UFC grew as I got to learn about the sport and realized it wasn’t just about two guys beating the pulp out of each other. The more I learned about the different skills and training behind it I was hooked and having met locals like Nate Marquardt and Eliot Marshall puts the a face and character with a sport and lets you see how dedicated these men are to their sport.
Randy Couture vs Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira
I’m torn on the Couture fight I might just have to go Couture on this one.
Keith Jardine vs Thiago Silva
Have to go Silva on this fight.
Nate Marquardt vs Demian Maia
Picking Nate. He is on a good streak and he’s a colorado kid gotta go local!! LOL
Brandon Vera vs Krzysztof Soszynski
Hands down Brandon Vera
Chris Leben vs Jake Rosholt
Same thing here going with Chris Leben

I did tae kwon do growing up & Dex took me to my first UFC fight 3 yrs ago, in Vegas! They had every one there fighting, Randy and chuck, Tremblay, St Pierre, it was awesome! We sat 3 rows from the cage and I was hooked after that! We got to go backstage and meet everyone who was really cool! My absolute fave is St. Pierre. My picks to win…
• Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira
• Keith Jardine
• Demian Maia
• Brandon Vera
• Chris Leben
Teri Turner – Bossier City, Louisiana

Hot damn… All the fights should be bad ass but Randy Couture will be interesting to watch. He’s been fighting for so long and is one of the most popular fighters in the UFC.
• Randy Couture
• Thiago Silva
• Demian Maia
• Brandon Vera
• Chris Leben
