It's FRIDAY night, and I feel alright.

 

Pardon the cheesy 90‘s hip hop reference. Well, we are officially at the end of my first week of blogging. If you just happened to stumble across this and have no clue what I’m referring to, check out the"BLOGS" section of this website at the top and you will see more articles I’ve created throughout the week. Feel free to leave comments on whether you disagree or not. I’ll definitely find time to respond.

 

Let’s press on, shall we?

 

 

I did take initiative tonight to catch the weigh-ins tonight to familiarize myself with some of the undercard fighters that I didn’t know. I’ll go ahead and give you my quick picks to the entire card since I wasn’t able to in my earlier blog. For a more detailed list of the main card fights,check the BLOGS section of MMANEWS.com. Predicted winners are in bold.

 

-Mike Pierce vs.  Kenny Robertson

-Kyle Kingsbury vs.  Ricardo Romero

-Paul Taylor vs.  Gabe Ruediger

-Kid Yamamoto vs.  Demetrious Johnson

-Chad Mendes vs.  Michihiro Omigawa

-Donald Cerrone vs.  Paul Kelly

 -Miguel Torres vs.  Antonio Banuelos

 -Jon Jones vs.  Ryan Bader

 -Jake Ellenberger vs.  Carlos Eduardo Rocha

:-Forrest Griffin vs.  Rich Franklin

-Anderson Silva vs. Vitor Belfort

 

Everyone seemed to be in excellent shape for their fights, which is always a good thing. The mask thing with Anderson Silva was a tad bizarre. Um, yeah other than that, I can’t really find out much to say about this. Just your typical night of weigh-ins!

 

If any of you read my predictions blog, I’d say most of them are fair and hopefully accurate on my part. I’ll be sticking with the same ones as I released Wednesday. As far as the undercard goes, there is plenty of potential there to make for some exciting fights.

 

 - I’m looking forward to the Kid Yamamoto bout

 

-I can’t say that I’m completely surprised that Donald Cerrone didn’t make the main card, but at least it will be televised by SpikeTV and probably be shown after the main event as an extra.

 

-Miguel Torres looks so small! Until I saw him look about a foot taller than Banuelos face to face. I was hoping someone would dethrone him in WEC, and now I want him to dominate again. Strange.

 

-Bones Jones has the personality of a professional athlete from the interviews I’ve always seen from him. I wish him the best, as I believe he has a tough opponent in Ryan Bader.

 

-The loser of Griffin/Franklin apparently has to get a tattoo, according to a Youtube video I saw on Facebook. Again, the only fight I’m truly worried about not predicting correctly.

 

-I still don’t believe Silva has lost his drive or dominance, we will find out!

 

 

That’s all I have for you this week. It SHOULD be an awesome card and I look forward to sharing my review with you hopefully Sunday evening or Monday. Everyone have an awesome weekend and be sure to check back next week. Enjoy the fights!
