Anyone else notice a fishing theme to this UFN? Salmon, Herring, Fisher?

Rashad Vs. Salmon: I pick Tito Ortiz by a TKO in the 1st

O'Brian Vs. Herring: Chris Sanford by a unanimous decision

Franca Vs. Fisher: Jesus by natural disaster before the fight begins

Reiner Vs. Burkman: Santa Clause by Body Slam in the 1st

Herman Vs. Price: Ken Shamrock by leglock in the 3rd

Guida Vs. Thomas: A midget from Borneo with a haymaker KO in the 4th tie-break round

Pointon Vs. Clementi: Jason Thacker by unanimous descision


Alright, now that that's outta my system... here's my real picks:


Rashad Vs. Salmon: Rashad by a Lay-N-Pray.

O'Brian Vs. Herring: Herring by massive KO that crushes O'Brian's face into a million pieces in the 2nd

Franca Vs. Fisher: Fisher, just because I like him, descision.

Reiner Vs. Burkman: Burkman has shown awsome potential, so I pick him by armbar 3rd.

Herman Vs. Price: Herman by GnP in the 2nd

Guida Vs. Thomas: Guida by decision.

Pointon Vs. Clementi: Here's one that intrests me. I think Ross has the power and speed to KO Clementi; but Clementi is better on the ground from what I've seen(not many people are worse on said ground than Ross)- so it depends on who can implement their game plan better and faster. I pick Ross by KO 2nd just so you all don't gang up on me

What about Pointon coming in 1.5lbs light??? Must be in good shape.

Ross Pointon Vs. Rich Clementi ; Pointon

You all forgot the Lister vs Maquardt!!!

Pointon's match is hard to call, but my heart say's he will win.

Upset of the night will be Lister getting beat, he gassed early in his last fight and if it goes past the first round then he is trouble!

Rashad is the new Cop cop anyone???

I dont think it was/ would of been a surprise if Lister got beat by Marquardt. Nate has been on a roll in the UFC and Lister hasn't looked anything special except for a slick sub against a poor fighter in Sakara.

Mr Myagi hasn't taught him well enough me thinks.
He needs to stand on a post by the ocean practicing!!

Yeah, CroCop would be proud of Rashad's RHK... As CroCop has said; "Right leg hospital, left leg grave."

And Salmon really shocked me when he did that crane kick.

A.) It probably won't work in MMA; AND

B.) You need to start much closer to the opponent to even HOPE to land that kind of strike in any sort of combat.
