If you ask anyone at MMASucka.com, I make the worst fight picks. We even have the numbers to back this up. I can admit that I choose my picks very emotionally, especially when it comes to fighters whom I have been cheering for years that I have invested money into purchasing their swag, and time in waiting in line ups for autographs. No matter how lop sided a match will be out of their favor, I am still hoping that they will come out on the positive side of "anything can happen". For UFC 140, I went an awesome 1-4 on the main card with the help of some great performances by Chan Sung Jung, Brian Ebersole, Little Nog and Frank Mir. Jon Jones was my only saving grace, but even he gave me a first round heart attack. Although I didn't do so well, I do see the silver lining. Through these wins, there are some very interesting match ups that now make sense for the UFC to put together.
No matter how much Dana White wants to deny the rumours of Alistair Overeem being taken off the UFC 141 Main Event, those rumors are still flying. I’m of the belief that where there is smoke there is fire. It all started when Kevin Iole from Yahoo/Sports sent out a tweet near the end of UFC 140.
The crowd at the UFC 140 open workouts watched breathlessly as Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira threw a series of vicious combinations into the training mitts, each one quicker and more powerful than the last. The only times he paused was to send a smoldering glare in the direction of his opponent, Frank Mir, who was standing across the gym.
Former UFC Heavyweight Champion Frank Mir spoke with ESPN.com earlier this week and made his prediction for the upcoming Heavyweight clash between Brock Lesnar and Alistair Overeem. His prediction may surprise some; he not only believes his former foe Lesnar will beat Overeem, he believes he will beat him "pretty easily".
“We are going with the most prestigious championship in all of sports, the heavyweight title. So on November 12 at the Anaheim Honda Center, the UFC Heavyweight Champion Cain Velasquez will take on the No. 1 contender Junior Dos Santos on the number one network in America, Fox.”
After a very impressive knockout victory over Brendan Schaub in his home country of Brazil, Antonio Minotauro Nogueira has once again put his name in the mix of things in the UFC heavyweight division. Nogueira has his sites set on avenging his loss to Frank Mir, along with fighting in Canada later this year and Japan at some point in the future.
When the Dana White announced that Brock Lesnar would be back by the new year, rumors began swirling that his comeback fight would be a trilogy fight against Frank Mir.
The pay-per-view event, featuring a light heavyweight contest between Quinton “Rampage” Jackson and Matt Hamill, takes place at Las Vegas’ MGM Grand Garden Arena.
