Brock Lesnar (4-1-0) vs. Shane Carwin (12-0-0):
You talk about two c*ck strong individuals going at it like animals and this is it. These are two of the biggest guys (with athleticism) to fight in the history of the UFC. Two very high caliber wrestlers with some very impressive victories. C*ck Chestner hasn’t fought in over a year so ring rust could play a role here. I believe Carwin has the tools to win this fight but this will be the first time he will not be able to just throw his opponent around. Brock will be all he can handle. I think it will be relatively boring the first round but I think Carwin will get the KO in the second round. Chestner will need another couple of fights but he will one day be back at the top.
Wanderlei Silva (33-10-1) vs. Yoshihiro Akiyama (13-1-0):
This fight will depend on which Wandy shows up. Akiyama is relatively unknown in the U.S. but has been on quite a run in Japan. He has had success against some very aggressive and powerful strikers which is exactly what Wanderlei is. This fight really could go either way and is a tough one to call. Silva has been hit or miss since coming to the UFC and I think he is on the downhill side of his career. Akiyama will pull this one off, as much as I hate to say it, in the second round.
Chris Lytle (38-17-4) vs. Matt Brown (13-8-0):
This fight has “Fight of the Night” written all over it. Two very aggressive warriors who love to stand and bang and are not afraid to put it on the line. I believe that the striking is fairly even here but give Lytle the edge on the ground. Lytle does not have a record of getting finished very often and he has proven he can go the distance on any given night. Brown has shown great cardio. As well. I believe that Lytle’s wealth of experience against some of the world’s best will pull him through over Brown. I pick Lytle by TKO in the third round after one hell of a war!
