Predictions : UFC 221 Main / Co-main - Who wins? And in what fashion?

[Arm Barbarian]

Let's hear it - What are your fight picks on this weekends main event and co-main? Who takes it, and in what fashion?

Romero vs Rockhold:

I am going with Yoel, via something crazy and sudden.

KOs Luke cold, after looking like Rockhold is going to outclass him. Late in round 2 or round 3.


Hunto vs Blaydes:

Going to go with Blaydes, although I will be rooting for Hunt.

I think Blaydes plays this safe and puts on a wrestling clinic, taking down Hunt often and smothering him with his wrestling. Unanimous Decision.


Who you got? And how do they win?

 

[Bubzeh]

Rockhold decision.

Hunt TKO.

Both close fights. Will more than likely be wrong.

 

[VAfan]

romero clean KO round 1.

 

[Arm Barbarian]

Rockhold decision.

Hunt TKO.

Both close fights. Will more than likely be wrong.

Both fights are hard to call tbh. Rooting for both Yoel and Hunto, but these fights are both pick-ems.

 

[Bend NvR Break]

Rockhold but I'm torn between sub or decision. I'm expecting Romero to look fantastic early than fall off a cliff somewhere in round 2/3.

I don't know how the Hunt/Blades fight goes. Not even going to guess.

 

[Frank McEdgar]

Rockhold by Submission

Blaydes by Decision

 

[mirror45]

Yoel Romero by tko if Rockhold is a bit arrogant
Mark hunt by decision

 

[Cowboy Cerroliveira]

Romero KO.

Blaydes has shown that he has a chin...so far. He also has great wrestling so expect him to take Hunt down.

 

[FrontNakedChoke]

Can't decide on either.

 

[mcf4]

Rockhold, 3rd round submission after Romero fades. Blaydes, boring decision,

 

[wilKO]

Yoel by KO
Blaydes by UD

 

[phillyman005]

Rockhold is incredibly frustrating to watch for me. I think he's the most well-rounded fighter in the division, maybe in the entire UFC besides MM. His striking defense is sloppy though and I got a feeling we're going to see another highlight-reel KO for Romero. Hopefully without stool gate this time.

 

[DatSamboKid]

I voted Luke via Sub and Blaydes via UD, but I got a feeling both might get KO'd.

 

[HI SCOTT NEWMAN]

Luke by rear naked choke after some good ole ground and pound I think. Round 2 or 3

Blaydes by decision, I feel he will take Hunt down over and over and Hunt won't be able to get it or stop it.

 

[Arm Barbarian]

Blaydes by decision, I feel he will take Hunt down over and over and Hunt won't be able to get it or stop it.

Same here, though Hunto has made me look dumb before, so I won't completely rule out him clipping Blaydes with something murderous.

Who you got? And how do they win?

I have your exact predictions. Romero via crazy random and Blaydes via boring UD.

 

[Woliwo]

Romero KO.
Bisping showed how to do it and Romero is a KO machine.
Hunt KO.
Hunt is hard to take down and he showed against Lewis that he still got some fight left in him.
Gonna be a brutal event.

Not too shabby for most of us here.

Hunto had Blaydes hurt early though.
