Stop Making Fight Predictions! You're wrong.

[latoya johnson]

1. JDS vs. Shane Carwin:
"One thing's for SURE! This one's not going the distance!"
JDS won via decision.

2. Demetrious Johnson vs. Joseph Benavidez II
"If DJ wins, it'll be by decision!"
DJ won via first round KO.

3. Conor vs. Nate Diaz II
"If Conor wins, it'll be by KO. If it goes the distance, Nate wins."
Conor won via UD.

4. Silva vs. Weidman I
"Silva via KO or Weidman via grappling."
Weidman won via KO.


Now we have DC vs. Rumble II:
"If Rumble wins, it'll be by KO in the opening rounds. DC wins if it goes to the third."

When will people learn:
1. Stop being proud about making obvious fight predictions. They're obvious.
2. Stop thinking rematches happen like the first fight. They almost never do.
3. You don't know what will happen. Stop pretending to. It's a fight.

Sorry for being a d***. I just had to get that off my chest.

The MOOSE will put Weidman to sleep!

To be fair, I predicted that Conor will win by UD in Diaz rematch

Fans just get carried away with recent fight outcomes, thats all

 

[Mr. Danger Waffles]

I think DC wins in decision. Rumble does have that power though.
I kind of feel the same way about Weidman and Moose. since it's a 3 rounder, I see Weidman taking a 3 round decision.

That's what I think

That's pretty much what inspired this thread.
I think it's kind of close-minded.

This....

I'm tired of seeing GIF's and sarcasm as well.

Agreed. And I do believe there is a very, very good chance DC Rumble fight goes to decision.

I won't say it as a prediction though, since you don't want me to

 

[TheUnchosenOne]

No, I think I'm gonna keep making them. Your completely unproductive input has been duly noted, however.

Oh, then your prediction was wrong along with the OP. It was a MD, suck it

Rumble via flying armbar.

At least I got the decision correct. A lot of limited people were on the 'Nate by sub again!!!' or 'Conor by KO!!!' wagon.

That's the idea!

Predictions, in general, don't bother me.

It's just annoying when people predict the most obvious outcomes as if it's a brilliant revelation, and then seem certain that other outcomes won't happen.
It's also annoying when fans think they're brilliant for predicting a rematch will transpire like the first fight.

Maybe I didn't clarify that enough in the OP.
