    UFC 83 - My Take on Things

    Friday, April 18, 2008, 12:43 PM EST [General]

    Georges St. Pierre (-500) vs. Matt Serra (+300)
    St.Pierre proves that the first fight was a fluke and pound out Serra in the second round.  Winner: GSP (Ref Stoppage)

    Rich Franklin (-350) vs. Travis Lutter (+250)
    A more focused and calculated Rich Franklin will impose his will and Matt Hume's gameplan in route to a unamious decision victory.  Lutter will walk away from this fight bruise and battered.  Winner:  Franklin (Decision)

    Nathan Quarry (-265) vs. Kalib Starnes (+205)

    Interesting fight.  Quarry doesn't look the same after neck/back surgery, but he has only fought once.  I think Starnes pulls off a submission victory in this one.  Winner:  Starnes (Submission)


    Michael Bisping (-330) vs. Charles McCarthy (+260)
    I'm not real interested in this fight to be quite honest.  I'm not a fan of Bisping, but I think that he will be too much for a Charles McCarthy who hasn't fought for quite some time.  Winner:  Bisping (TKO)

    Mac Danzig (-550) vs. Mark Bocek (+350)
    Danzig should put on a clinic and tap out the Canadian Bocek fairly easily.  Winner:  Danzig (Submission)

    Jason MacDonald (-165) vs. Joe Doerksen (+135)

    This one is probably going to be a snorefest.  A good fight, but a boring fight.  Doerksen looks to avenge a previous loss to MacDonald in this one, but comes up short.  Winner:  MacDonald (Decision)

    Alan Belcher (-450) vs. Jason Day (+300)

    Belcher is a little too well rounded for Day and proves to be too much for him.  Winner:  Belcher (KO)

    Ed Herman (+140) vs. Demian Maia (-180)
    Herman has had his struggles and I think that trend will continue here.  Maia is slick on the ground and will pull off a submission victory at some point.  Winner:  Maia (Submission)

    Rich Clementi (+120) vs. Sam Stout (-160)

    Clementi is on a roll and Stout has shown poor takedown defense in the past.  Clementi will weather the storm early and secure a submission victory late in the fight.  Winner:  Clementi (Submission)

    Brad Morris (+200) vs. Cain Velasquez (-260)

    Velasquez will show off his wrestling ability and "ground n pound" in this one.  Winner:  Velasquez (Ref Stoppage)

    Kuniyoshi Hironaka (-240) vs. Jonathan Goulet (+190)
    Hironaka has mad Judo skills, but Goulet is fighting in his home country.  I'm gonna go out on a limb on this one and say Goulet by TKO late in the second round.  Winner:  Goulet (TKO)
