UFC 196 Predictions

[mmaday4day]

These are my predictions for UFC 196:

Julian Erosa vs. Teruto Ishihara
Teruto Ishihara by Decision

Justin Salas vs. Jason Saggo
Jason Saggo by Decision

Vitor Miranda vs. Marcelo Guimaraes
Vitor Miranda by Decision

Jim Miller vs. Diego Sanchez
Jim Miller by Decision

Darren Elkins vs. Chas Skelly
Chas Skelly by Decision

Corey Anderson vs. Tom Lawlor
Corey Anderson by Decision

Erick Silva vs. Nordine Taleb
Erick Silva by submission

Amanda Nunes vs. Valentina Shevchenko
Amanda Nunes by Decision

Ilir Latifi vs. Gian Villante
Ilir Latifi by Decision

Brandon Thatch vs. Siyar Bahadurzada
Siyar Bahadurzada via KO

Holly Holm vs. Miesha Tate
Holly Holm by Decision

Conor McGregor vs. Nate Diaz
Conor McGregor wins via KO

But as a betting man, I just can't resist betting on Nate Diaz. The odds are just way too damn good!
The Julian Erosa vs. Teruto Ishihara fight is a coin toss in my eyes, so I'll bet on Ishihara because he is 3 to 1 underdog.
I'd like to bet on Jim Miller, but Diego Sanchez just can't seem to be able to lose a decision! Judges seem to be in love with his forward pressure.

What are your predictions?

You mean there are other fighters fighting besides Tate/Holm and Diaz/ McGreGoat?
Color me confused!

Siyar Bahadurzada via KO

what the fuck is wrong with you ts?

 

[Defender]

I'm not a betting man. And don't like to make predictions because I know anything can happen.

But if I had to have one beef with your picks it's Holm by decision.

Just can't pick Holm for a 5 round decision. I think Cupcake will make something happen rather than get her face boxed all night.

In other words, she won't fight as dumb as Ronda did.

Not saying she won't win, just can't see a decision for her. (Holm)


I see Diaz as something Conor hasn't faced yet. Taller. Bigger. But hard to see him lose unless it's a sub.

They'll be hugging afterwards.

Siyar Bahadurzada via KO

Nothing is wrong with me. Did you see the Gunnar Nelson vs Brandon Thatch fight? Gunnar almost knocked his head off.
Compared with Nelson, Bahadurzada is a better striker with more punching power.
Bahadurzada had a long layoff, so who knows in what condition and state of mind he comes to fight, but Brandon Thatch is ridiculously overrated.

Holm is the safest pick on the card.
Cupcake can't match Holm's elusive style and footwork and Holm is extremely strong in the clinch.
I can see Miesha get a couple of takedowns, but that's just not enough to win the fight.
