Hey guys, just thought I would hit you with my predictions and a quick breakdown for the three main fights for UFC 127 this weekend, agree or disagree let me know!

Penn vs Fitch

Man this is probably the hardest fight on the card to pick. BJ possesses the natural talent to be a threat to just about anybody at welterweight and in my opinion is the greatest lightweight of all time, but Fitch just seems like the perfect fighter to beat him. The way I see it Fitch is the bigger better wrestler, has excellent black belt submission defense, has unquestionable cardio and heart and is a very smart fighter with a good chin. After seeing BJ controlled and outwrestled by Frankie in there second fight my faith in his unbelievable takedown defence is in doubt and it is practically impossible to sub Fitch in a mma bout. BJ’s only hope is to land a Hail Mary knockout or put on the performance off his life by stuffing all the takedowns and beating Fitch up on the feat. Unfortunately I see Fitch using tentative strikes to set up takedowns and then just grinding and controlling BJ for the duration of the fight. UD for Fitch.

Bisping vs Rivera

This is certainly the fight that has had the most hype with Rivera doing all he can to make it personal with his online videos insulting Bisping, I can only assume this is a ploy to draw Bisping into a wild firefight with Rivera. If Bisping does decide to throw caution to the wind and slug it out with Rivera it would be a very stupid thing to do because that is the only way that I can possibly see him losing this fight. Bisping needs to keep his head and he will surely out strike, frustrate and eventually wear down Rivera at which point he will be able to score a takedown and finish him with his underrated ground and pound abilities. Bisping by TKO round 2

Siver vs Sotoropoulis

This fight is a complete mismatch if you ask me and I don’t know what Siver did to deserve this match-up, Sotiropoulos is in the mix for the title. Though Siver has solid wrestling he defiantly does not compare to  Sotiropoulis in the grappling department and I can see George getting subs from the top or the bottom. Siver is a good striker but I don’t think he even has the advantage there, Ross Pearson clearly outstruck Siver in their fight I think George will use his reach and outstrike Siver for as long as it stays on the feet. When this fight eventually hits the mat its as good as done. Sotiropoulos by Submission round 1.
