Ufc Ultimate Fighter Finale Predictions

[atreyu_2020]

It's that time of year again where 2 (or possibly more, but doubt it) stars will be made off of the highly popular Ultimate Fighter show. This, unlike the other years, is perhaps the most predictable. Here you have 4 fighters, each fighter getting to the finals easily...Josh probably should have lost to Tait (detable) and Kendall was losing a fight until Kalib pussed out (also debatable) but in any case who is going to win it?

Light Heavyweight Finals - Michael Bisping vs. Josh Haynes
Middleweight Finals - Ed Herman vs. Kendall Grove
MAIN EVENT - Sam Stout vs. Kenny Florian

I also added the main event with Stout and Florian which also shouldnt be hard to predict.

LH - Bisping is a brick house....he will mow through his fight and probably see decent success in the UFC...I love his attitude and his TEMPER.

MW - Rootin for Ed...but I think Kendall takes it...hes just too big, and Ed didnt impress me much with his ground skills.

Main - Rootin for Kenny...and going with Kenny. His elbows are famously dangerous now, and he just keeps getting better and better. Hes no longer the weak tit that Diego Sanchez smashed through.

I agree with Bisping, aside from maybe Matt they didnt bring much competition for him in the house.

Kendall was also too big for Kalib, and Kalib had his way with him. Ed isnt as fast, but has great takedowns, and I think his ground game will get a lot better now that he's not getting pushed to the limit like he wasnt with Shamrock.

I'm not sold on Florian, and probably never will be. Ever since the show he beat a guy with no ground game..and sloppy striking skills, and then beat a below average fighter with an under .500 record. He'll get exposed to a guy like Sam Stout. Word is winner of the fight faces Sherk for the lightweight title...theres no way "KenFlo" is standing in the way of Stout.

Kit Cope has sloppy striking skills??? What??? Hes a multi time world champ in kickboxing or some crap...i cant remember exactly what it was called.

I'm not talking about him, Alex from Season 1 was who I was talking about with the striking. Cope is a below average fighter.

[wsuwarrior]

You judge Kenny by how he fought on the show?? That was two years ago...

[wsuwarrior]

UPDATE: Kendall Grove beat Ed Herman by unanimous decision.

[Ginzo]

But Herman still got a contract, If i was haynes or bisbing i would think that its looking good ill get one win or lose aswell.

[wsuwarrior]

Bisping beats Haynes by ref stoppage.

Very impressed with Haynes' ability to escape submissions...I thought the fight was over about 5 different times.

So far Im 2-0 in my predictions...even though I was rooting for the loser in both fights.

[mathue]

great fight with kendall and ed, glad kendall got it.

and mike fuckin pounded josh suprised he made it that long

[wsuwarrior]

aaaaaaaand Kenny wins by rear naked choke.

wsuwarrior takes the sweep:) Maybe I know more about sports than even I give myself credit for.

[Ginzo]

Hahaha its hilarious that they didnt give haynes a contract but they gave ed one....

[wsuwarrior]

Haynes lost by ref stoppage.....Herman could have won that fight with different judges.

[B-MetalSucks]

Hahaha its hilarious that they didnt give haynes a contract but they gave ed one....Why is that hilarious? One had a close fight that went the distance and the other got stopped and should have been stopped earlier.

[The Inmate]

is the deaf guy still in it..if he is, i think he will win...

[wsuwarrior]

is the deaf guy still in it..if he is, i think he will win...

No, but he was on the undercard and he dominated his match....ref stoppage.

[atreyu_2020]

I think it's hilarious that Luke Cummo or Brad Imes didnt get a contract. Cummo/Stevenson was razor thin, Imes/Evans was razor thin...why didnt they get contracts?

It's nice to see the UFC trend continues, judges making poor decisions. Ed Herman won that fight, and I'm not saying it because I picked him or whatever, I happen to like Kendalls attitude more than Ed...but he was screwed, plain and simple, okay so he got a contract, which he deserved, but that win was his. EVERY judge thought Kendall won? Are you fucking kidding me? Honestly it's getting rediculous. You could tell that even Kendall thought he lost the fight, and everyone in that octagon at that point in time knew he lost too.

Boy did Kenny Florian punch me straight in the gut, not only did he punch me in the gut, he gave me a roundhouse kick to the balls and bitch slapped me, dude is a changed fighter and I was dead wrong about him, he manhandled Sam Stout, something I didnt expect him to do the least bit..I give major props to him and hope to see him progess even more.

Undercard results..

Mike Nickels defeated Wes Combs Submission by (Rear Naked Choke)
Matt Hamill defeated Jesse Forbes by TKO (Strikes)
Luigi Fioravanti defeated Solomon Hutcherson by KO (Punch)
Kalib Starnes defeated Danny Abaddi by Submission (Rear Naked Choke)
Rory Singer defeated Ross Pointon by Submission (Triangle Choke)

Yeah Ed got jobbed. Kendall is a punk. He had Ed primed for a submission by triangle OR a rear naked choke hold and he couldn't execute either one. Ed inflicted more damage on the ground, Kendall had that nice flying knee to the gut, but Ed also reversed alot of Kendall's holds. You could tell that Kendall was suprised they said his name. Even he thought he lost.

[wsuwarrior]

Cummo should have got a contract...I think he won the fight to be honest.. Stevenson didnt do anything but hold him on the ground the entire fight. IMO, fighters dont get enough points for escapes.


Told you Kenny was better than you thought.:) Hes starting to become one of my favorite fighters...mainly because he doesnt look dangerous, kinda like me ;)

I know man, Kendall knew he lost..I wouldnt consider him a punk, he's a very skilled fighter and deserves a contract, but the decision shouldnt have went his way. It was Eds fight, and I dont understand it.

Fuck yeah he deserved a contract, Stevenson worked him a bit, he wasnt like a blanket, I thought it was pretty even, could have went either way but Cummo did deserve a contract. So did Imes.

Yeah yeah you told me, I'm still in shock about it to be truthful, I'll just retaliate by owning you on these here threads more times to come. :cool:
