While I do consider myself a fan of the UFC I hardly know enough of the fighters to make many calls on either of the cards but here is my best shot.
Guida defeats Maynard. In a three round fight I’d give the edge to the Bully but in a five round fight I expect Maynard to tire and Guida to pour it on in the later rounds.
Swanson defeats Pearson. This is a difficult fight to call. I like both fighter but Swanson is more experienced at Featherweight and looked very impressive in his last fight.
Franklin defeats Silva. Franklin is hungry and I think his chin is strong enough to take Silva’s inevitable onslaught. Franklin may have the distinction of retiring two legends.
Werdum defeats Russow. This seems like the UFC throwing the local crowd a bone. I don’t give Russow much of a chance in this fight (and I’m a fan of his ever since he knocked Duffee out). Russow deserves a step up in competition but facing a guy whose top five in the Heavyweight division should prove too much for him. I hope he puts up a good fight though.
Bezerra defeats Pepey. This is not the final I expected or hoped for. But Damm went down (kidney failure what can you do?) and Wolverine just didn’t seem to want it in that last fight so here we are. Either way Bezerra looked much more impressive during the show.
Ferreira defeats Moraes. I was pretty sad to hear Daniel got injured that would have been an excellent fight.
