UFC 86: Jackson Vs. Griffin Quick Picks
Here are my quick picks for UFC 86: Jackson Vs. Griffin
Quinton Jackson Vs. Forrest Griffin: I believe that Quinton Jackson will win this fight early on. He is a fierce fighter and will be able to stop Griffin dead in his tracks come main event time this Saturday night.
Patrick Cote Vs. Ricardo Almeida: My pick for this fight is Patrick Cote. I don’t see the fight lasting past the first round, in fact maybe not even past the first minute. So for me the fight goes to Patrack Cote via technical knock out.
Joe Stevenson vs. Gleison Tibau: This is the one fight I expect to see a lot from. Both these guys will give it their all to prove they are still worth something to the UFC. I think Stevenson will win the fight by decision but one thing I believe is that there will be blood!
Josh Koscheck vs. Chris Lytle: Koscheck has this one in the bag. It will be a TKO in round two and “Kos” will come out victorious.
Tyson Griffin Vs. Marcus Aurelio: I believe that this fight will come down to a decision but giving the fans some awesome entertainment along the way. Griffin will win the fight via decision when all is said and done!
Kimbo Slice vs. James Thompson EliteXC Preview
Kimbo Slice vs. James Thompson the headlining event for EliteXC on CBS tonight. The first ever main event to be broadcast on National Television. “Saturday Night Fights” will air tonight on CBS at 9PM EST.
Kevin “Kimbo Slice” Ferguson (2-0) will be taking on James “The Colossus” Thompson (14-8). There is big debate on whether this fight is even worthy of being a main event. For a start Kimbo has only ever been in 2 professional fights and hasn’t really proved himself to the MMA world as of yet. Secondly people believe that James Thompson was specifically chosen because of his weak chin.
Can Kimbo finish this fight as quick as his other two?
He definitely can! James Thompson has an incredibly weak chin. Combine that with Kimbo’s huge striking power and I think fans are going to be seeing a fight ending with a KO in the first round, maybe even the first two minutes.
Kimbo has been training with Bas Rutten
Thats right Kimbo is being trained by one of the greatest heavyweights in the MMA world, Bas Rutten (28-4-1). Both Bas and Kimbo seem to be getting on heres a quote from Kimbo about Bas:
“Bas is the man. You know what I’m saying? Can’t get a better trainer, a better coach a better adviser of the sport and of the game. I mean he explains everything to me why. And to my knowledge I can pick it up better. I can understand the cause and the effect of everything, and I wouldn’t want to change that.”
I see this fight going only one way…
…and that is in the favor of Kimbo Slice. He is too powerful for James Thompson. I believe a better opponent could of been picked for Kimbo but I guess you don’t want to show up your top guy the first time you get on national TV.
