UFC 48 Predictions
So here are my predictions and why
Kimo over Ken Shamrock 2nd round KO
Kimo is big.. I don't think he has the endurance to go the full distance but he won't need to as I think he beats Shamrock standing in the second round.
Frank Mir over Tim Sylvia bia submission round 1
Now, I'll admit... it didn't work for Ricco Rodriguez, so why would it work for Frank Mir? Why? Because Frank Mir is a better striker and is a better submission fighter than Ricco.. maybe not a better ground fighter, but I'm sure he can make the guard an effective tool. Trust me, Sylvia gets greedy, they go to the ground, Frank submits.
Matt Hughes TKO 3rd round over Renato Verissimo
Renato, even though he beat Newton, isn't BJ Penn. And Matt Hughes will never lose two fights in a row. Hughes with the 3rd round ground and pound.
Phil Baroni KO round 1 over Evan Tanner
Baroni doesn't look as big as he usually does.. but maybe this means he will be able to go longer than he usually does as well. I don't see Evan winning this fight standing up and I don't see Phil getting caught on the ground either. Baroni, early KO.
trevor Prangley over Curtis Strout, KO 2nd round
honestly, I don't give a fuck what happens this fight. I'm going for the not black guy here..
Frank trigg over Dennis Hallman via decision
This is gonna be a good fight, and it won't turn out the way the last one did.. I'm sure this could go either way, but I'm pushing for Frank Trigg to maintain composure and control on the ground to squeeze out a decision. He has his work cut out for him.
Matt Serra over Ivan Menjivar round 1 submissionGeorges St. Pierre over Jay Hieron Round 2 submission
george St. Pierre is underrated. Look for him to end this late in the 1st or real early in the second.
Those are my predictions.
