Thoughts and predictions: UFC Fight
Night TUF 9 Finale By Mark
Brill
Back again for predictions. So far, since I'm
back to doing this I have a losing record 1-5 I
believe is my record. Well he we go again.
Diego Sanchez and Clay Guida:
Wow, well this will be a very entertaining fight. I
see this going to Sanchez. He will win this on a
decision. If we are surprised he will will win via
submission.
Nate Diaz against Joe Stevenson:
Wow, on the same card. That's going to be a good
fight. I feel Nate was robbed against Guida and
still feel Nate is one of the best. Joe has not won
many in the last year and I see thus happening
again. Nate just gets better and better. He is a
Diaz. You can't count out this kid, who I think will
beat Stevenson.
Finally, DaMarques Johnson (170) vs James Wilks
(171):
This will be a exciting finale. The UK is by far the
best team, but Johnson is the best fighter there.
It's very hard to predict a Ultimate Fighter finale
because a lot of these fighters mature while
training for this fight and it's been 4 months while
they trained for this fight so.
At the time Johnson was the best fighter I still see
it that way.
A few more good fights but I will stick with the
three. I don't want to go down too much more. Let's
hope I go 3-3 this week.
Enjoy the show. I will be back for ufc 100.
