Guest Posted April 19, 2012 Report Share Posted April 19, 2012 Hey guys, I know I'm a little late on the pick 'em contest (hell it's been over a month since the last one), but if we can get enough predictions (at least 10) I will turn this into a pick 'em. If not then this will just be a thread about UFC 145. Anyway, let's get to the fight card............. Correct Picks 12/12 = 100k 11/12 = 50k 10/12 = 25k 9/12 = 10k Jon Jones vs Rashad Evans Rory MacDonald vs Che Mills Brendan Schaub vs Ben Rothwell Miguel Torres vs Michael McDonald Mark Hominick vs Eddie Yagin Mark Bocek vs John Alessio Travis Browne vs Chad Griggs Matt Brown vs Stephen Thompson John Makdessi vs Anthony Njokuani Mac Danzig vs Efrain Escudero Keith Wisniewski vs Chris Clements Marcus Brimage vs Maximo Blanco Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 19, 2012 Report Share Posted April 19, 2012 Jon Jones vs Rashad Evans - Definitely Jones' toughest fight, but I think he retains the title (I really want Rashad to win) Rory MacDonald vs Che Mills - Possible "Fight of the Night", I still see MacDonald winning, but it's a close fight. Brendan Schaub vs Ben Rothwell - Schaub can crushes Rothwell (and I like Rothwell) Miguel Torres vs Michael McDonald - Miguel finally made it back to a Main Card!!!! Mark Hominick vs Eddie Yagin - Hominick really needs a quick finish if he wants to fight in Canada Mark Bocek vs John Alessio Travis Browne vs Chad Griggs - Another possible "Fight of the Night", Browne by knockout in the 2nd Matt Brown vs Stephen Thompson - Everyone say goodbye to Matt Brown................again John Makdessi vs Anthony Njokuani - Love Njokuani's fighting style, always makes for a good fight Mac Danzig vs Efrain Escudero -Someone is losing their job Keith Wisniewski vs Chris Clements Marcus Brimage vs Maximo Blanco Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted April 19, 2012 Report Share Posted April 19, 2012 Jon Jones vs Rashad Evans - Rooting for Evans but the realist in me says Bones Rory MacDonald vs Che Mills - Love Che but Rory is a different class Brendan Schaub vs Ben Rothwell - Unless Rothwell has improved a lot I see Schaub having too much power Miguel Torres vs Michael McDonald - As much as I like Torres I think he's been left behind the new guys now Mark Hominick vs Eddie Yagin - Still top 3 in the division and should take this Mark Bocek vs John Alessio - In danger of getting caught but should have enough to take this Travis Browne vs Chad Griggs - Pot luck who hands first, think Browne has the edge though Matt Brown vs Stephen Thompson - Always dangerous to be against Brown but can't look past Wonderboy John Makdessi vsAnthony Njokuani - Don't like the guy but think Njokuani is due a few W's Mac Danzig vs Efrain Escudero - Think Mac will prove Escudero isn't good enough for the UFC again Keith Wisniewski vs Chris Clements - Don't think Clements can cut it, may be exposed in this matchup Marcus Brimage vs Maximo Blanco - Can't look past the speed and power of Brimage, don't know a great deal about Blanco Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted April 19, 2012 Report Share Posted April 19, 2012 Jon Jones vs Rashad Evans - Jones by submission in round 2 or 3. Evans puts on a spirited match but is ultimately hurt and choked out. Rory MacDonald vs Che Mills - Rory by hellbows reminiscent of Jon Jones. Mike Goldberg jizzes his pants and starts comparing him to the LHW champ. Brendan Schaub vs Ben Rothwell - Ben Rothwell got outgrappled by Mark Hunt. Chew on that for one second. Miguel Torres vs Michael McDonald - Sadly, as much as I love Angel I think wear and tear is setting in for him. He'll test Michael but ultimately lose a clear decision. Mark Hominick vs Eddie Yagin - Hominick is done mourning and was humbled vs TKZ. I see him picking Yagin apart. Mark Bocek vs John Alessio - Bocek does something cool and submits Alessio within 2 rounds. Travis Browne vs Chad Griggs - Go go Gravedigger! Matt Brown vs Stephen Thompson - Matt Brown is sluggish as hell and I see Wonderboy dancing circles around him. Smelling a TKO in the later rounds. John Makdessi vs Anthony Njokuani - Will set record for most spinning kicks thrown in a fight. Anthony is gonna paste him. Mac Danzig vs Efrain Escudero - Eh, they both suck. Keith Wisniewski vs Chris Clements - Don't know anything about Clements but he obviously has some insane power seeing as he managed to KO Jonathan Goulet in just 2 rounds! Marcus Brimage vs Maximo Blanco - This should be a fun match if nothing else. Picking Brimage because I like him more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted April 19, 2012 Report Share Posted April 19, 2012 I think it's 50/50. I didn't think so with Machida. Rashad is Jones' biggest threat. And because I think that it's 50/50 I will go with Rashad. I'm not going to pick for the others. I'm really to lazy. I don't know half of the guys in there. I hope Njokuani wins in dramatic fashion though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jefframrod Posted April 19, 2012 Report Share Posted April 19, 2012 Jon Jones vs Rashad Evans Rory MacDonald vs Che Mills - I have to go with Che, was pleased when UFC brought him back after the disappointing performance for TUF, he may have a hard night ahead but I am backing him anyway. Brendan Schaub vs Ben Rothwell - I know Rothwell has a lot of wins but I just don't rate him that highly. Miguel Torres vs Michael McDonald - Not many backing him so I might as well stick my neck out here. Mark Hominick vs Eddie Yagin - I reckon Hominick goes out to prove he is still up there with the best and forgets all about the last outing. Mark Bocek vs John Alessio - I missed why Wiman was pulled from this, injury I guess? Or did I make up the Boceck/Wiman fight in my head? Travis Browne vs Chad Griggs Matt Brown vs Stephen Thompson - I admit to not knowing too much about Thompson John Makdessi vs Anthony Njokuani Mac Danzig vs Efrain Escudero Keith Wisniewski vs Chris Clements Marcus Brimage vs Maximo Blanco - Complete guess (as are most actually, I am awful at picking winners!) Do I get a sympathy prize for zero correct picks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeadlyDirk Posted April 19, 2012 Report Share Posted April 19, 2012 Jon Jones vs Rashad Evans - I'm favouring Jones in this like most are but I want Rashad to win so sod it I'm going for him, he certainly has a chance. Rory MacDonald vs Che Mills - Really want Che to win and hoping he destroys his face with a beautiful knee but MacDonald has looked so good it's hard to bet against him. Brendan Schaub vs Ben Rothwell - Would feel pretty confident about this as I haven't been overly impressed by Rothwell but Schaubb's KO loss to Big Nog still seems pretty fresh in the memory, still going with Schaub Miguel Torres vs Michael McDonald - Tough pick but Torres reach always caused problems and he should have something to prove after his release Mark Hominick vs Eddie Yagin - Have to go with Hominick here Mark Bocek vs John Alessio - No certainties here but I've just never been overly impressed by Bocek and find it tough to back him, so we'll go with Alessio in a minor upset. Travis Browne vs Chad Griggs - This might be a highly entertaining brawl or a terribly dull fight if it goes into the latter rounds, I think Griggs will take some punishment and give out his fair share but eventually Browne will put him away. Matt Brown vs Stephen Thompson - This might be one hell of an entertaining fight and possibly FOTN, have to go with Thompson based on that very impressive debut. John Makdessi vs Anthony Njokuani - Njokuani is fun to watch but one way or another he doesn't seem to get the job done, thought Makdessi has looked pretty good other than losing to Hallman who was probably about 300lbs heavier than him on the night so we'll go with Makdessi. Mac Danzig vs Efrain Escudero - I've always liked Danzig despite his less than impressive record since TUF but Escudero is another who often seems to under perform or simply isn't as good as perhaps it was first thought so Danzig to take this one. Keith Wisniewski vs Chris Clements - I don't really know who either guy is so I'm picking Clements as it's easier to type. Marcus Brimage vs Maximo Blanco - I know little about Blanco so I'll just assume they're giving one of the TUF members a gimme fight so the show stays vaguely relavent.

jefframrod Posted April 19, 2012 Report Share Posted April 19, 2012 It was originally Bocek vs Wiman, but Wiman pulled out with an injury (never did find out what he hurt). Cool, I was starting to think I imagined that fight was meant to happen as I hadn't heard anything about it being pulled. I guess if I had searched for a story I would have found it.

Jacman Posted April 19, 2012 Report Share Posted April 19, 2012 Jones v.s Evans I really want evans to beat his ass but i gotta be realistic.

Schaub v.s Rothwell Torres v.s McDonald Hominick v.s Yagin Bocek v.s Alessio Browne v.s Griggs Brown v.s Thompson Makdessi vs Njokuani Danzig v.s Escudero Wisniewski v.s Clements Brimage v.s Blanco Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CZeR613 Posted April 20, 2012 Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 JON JONES vs Rashad Evans - although I think rashad is the hardest test yet. and it has that unknown factor of them being past opponents , Jones has advantages everywhere , so its a routine pick in my opinion. RORY MCDONALD vs Che Mills -believe me I love mills , I'm English , but McDonald man handled nate diaz and looks extremely I'mpressive so far in his ufc tenure so I expect a continuation of that pattern BRENDAN SCHAUB vs Ben Rothwell- not worth a comment MIGUEL TORRES vs Michael McDonald- I couldn't not bet on torres , he's one of my favourites and also one of the most talented and athleticly gifted p4p fighters around , he's had a bad patch but give him a chance and he can prove his worth MARK HOMMINICK vs Eddie Yagin Eddie who? MARK BOCEK vs John Alessio brown belt in bjj , legitly Travis Browne vs CHAD GRIGGS I just don't like Travis browne , no other reason MATT BROWN vs Stephen Thompson could be a snooze fest or a war , I was torn on this pick but ultimately I think brown is the better fighter John Makdessi vs ANTHONY NJOKUANI great matchup , for the fans this is a must watch fight and could go either way easily MAC DANZIG vs Efrain Escudero I have many rules , one is too never bet on efrain escudero KEITH WININSJEWSKI vs Chris Clements totally made up his 2nd name , but eh he's polish (I think) MARCUS BRIMAGE vs Maximo Blanco brimage impressed me of tuf , he Defo haa the power to make this bout memorable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
