TUF Finale Predictions

[Kimuras"R"Us]

Well guys, there's a million fights on the TUF Finale, let's have a little contest... Predict all the fights, Winner, Round, Method of Victory...

Here's the scoring system:
1 point for picking the winner correctly
1 point for picking the round
1 point for picking the method (don't have to be technical with it, a simple "submission" or "GNP" is fine, no need to say "kimura" or "triangle")

Sam Stout Vs. Kenny Florian
Michael Bisping Vs. Josh Haynes
Kendall Grove Vs. Ed Herman
Keith Jardine Vs. Wilson Gouveia
Ross Pointon Vs. Rory Singer
Danny Abbadi Vs. Kalib Starnes
Luigi Fioravanti Vs. Solomon Hutcherson
Jesse Forbes Vs. Matt Hamill
Wes Combs Vs. Mike Nickels

[FidgitUK]

Well Ill go for the easiest first.

Bisping
Round 1
Knockout

May be over confident in his abilities here and I'm not doubting Josh's immense heart. But a substantial skill differnce here.


Ok the tougher one and I feel I could be well off..


Kendal
Round 2
Submision

Theory is Kendall going to fend of Ed's take downs first round and do a bit of damage in the clinch and standing up.. Ed might get the take down 2nd but worn down a bit and Kendal catches him, like I said though could be and probably am wayyyy of.

Don't be shy, pick the whole card my man

[FidgitUK]

Hmm ok Stout and Florian could go either way really. Just depending on whether Stout keeps it on his feet or not..

But if i had to pick and really grabbing at thin air here.

Stout
2nd
KO

Jardine and Gouviea, another tough one especially as I know rather little about either fighter.. I think Gouvieas BJJ will come out on top here though.

Gouviea
3rd
Submission

Think Jardine will give some decent strikes and do some damage but unless he gets the knock out as the fight draws on Gouviea will spot an opening.

Now the not to be broadcast fights, well I'm actually looking forward to them

Ross Pointon v Rory

I love Ross he just sums up some of my fellow countrymen who are saturday night louts. Gotta love the heart and attitude but If Rory has sorted his head out a bit more I think he will take this.

Rory
Decision

That acutally pains me to say as I really dont like the guy. Personally though im hoping Ross catches him with one and drops him in the first but I dont see it happening.

Danny v Kaleb

kaleb
1st
Submission

Danny something about Danny that just doesnt seem right ot me, doesnt seem nearly well rounded enough to stand much of a chance. Lets just hope he doesnt give Kaleb a rib tickler :P Plus to be fair I have no idea on what hes been training since.

Jesse and Hammil

Well I know hammil is still training with Tito and Team Punishment so I can only imagine he could of gotten better. I just hope he doesnt want to keep it on his feet again :d

Hammil
Round 2
GNP

Now Solomons and Nikels fight, well I missed Luigis fight and never heard of Wes... So really cant say.


Hmm now lets see if i can set a record for the worst predictions. It literally is my first time trying to predict a full MMA card and realise my picks are probably way of and it all could change in a heart-beat.

[Kimuras"R"Us]

Wow.... I never thought I'd see the day an Englishman picked against his fellow countryman...for shame!

Next are you gonna say you're glad Michael Owen got hurt today?

Oh belive me it goes against all my true desires and hopes but.. Well..... Ross is great...but hes just not great if you catch my drift.

And well Owen... well gonna get pounced on by any other Brits here but,

I couldnt care less.....

Now to quickly defend myself before the barrage of rubbish is thrown my way...

I spent the majority of my child-hood, early teenage years growing up in the states so football (soccer) wasnt force fed to me.. While my current peers were having a kick about in the park, I was a strong safety and wrestling @ 135 in high school.

I catch your drift about Ross, but I think Rory sucks. I think his fragile mental state will run amok when he thinks about having to fight a crazy brit who could care less if he gets nailed in the face as long as he can throw an overhand right...

And I won't throw any "rubbish" at you, haha. I'm an (American) football player and not even English so the Owen injury didn't affect me in the least either.

[FidgitUK]

Believe me I hate Rory and I understand exactly what your saying. Hope it goes that way, hope Ross just goes in then and does what he says he wants to do in any situation 'smash his fucking face in'. Rory just cracks under the pressure and agression then all but quits again.


Man think im talking myself out of it.. Damn oh well ill stick by my pick and suffer the consequences.


COME ON ROSS! ( I well wanna go for a pint one night with this guy :P)

Oh and the rubbish and stuff being thrown is from fear of any other my countrymen here :P

[Kimuras"R"Us]

And here we go with my predictions, so I can promptly come in last in a contest I made up....

Sam Stout Vs. Kenny Florian
-A lot of people might reference the Kit Cope match here where Florian manhandled Cope on the ground.... That's a mistake Stout is head and shoulders above Kit.

Stout by KO Round 3

Bisping vs. Fat Kid
Probably the one fight everyone will pick the same

Bisping KO Round 1

Kendall vs. Herman
Tough one to call, could really go either way
- Kendall Submission Round 2

Keith Jardine Vs. Wilson Gouveia
-Gouveia KO Round 1

Ross Pointon Vs. Rory Singer
- Rory is a headcase, Ross is a lunatic... Crazy beats lack of confidence
- YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN?!?! Ross KO Round 1

Danny Abbadi Vs. Kalib Starnes
- If Danny is an Ultimate Fighter, we're all Ultimate Fighters
-Kalib sub Round 1

Luigi Fioravanti Vs. Solomon Hutcherson
-Luigi took this fight on very short notice from what I've read
DAGGER!!!
Solomon via Decision

Jesse Forbes Vs. Matt Hamill
-Should be an awesome fight
-Hamill is too tough, but I've always been a Jessie guy so it's tough....
Fuck I hate the fact I'm picking this
Hamill GnP Round 2


Wes Combs Vs. Mike Nickels
http://www.ufc.com/index.cfm?fa=fighter.detail&pid=442
-Sounds like the guy is gonna force the action...Nickels kinda punches like a girl

Combs KO Round 1

That's actually the first thing I thought when I saw him, that I'd love to go get a pint or twenty with him.
