UFC 115 picks
Who you guys got? Not feeling great one way or the other with the main event, liddell is old and has been knocked out several times in a row while Franklin just seems to have lost all passion for the sport and is fighting for the paycheck. Conditt vs. Macdonald should be a good fight and is a tough one to call, both are pretty well rounded tough guys.
Franklin
Cro Cop
Rothwell
Thiago
Conditt
Wiman
Griffin
Wilks
Lennox
Patrick
Miranda

Re: UFC 115 picks
Franklin (I think his kicks will make the difference)
Barry
Thiago (could go either way)
Yvel (I think Rothwell is a quitter)
Condit
Griffin
Danzig (only because I think he's desperate)
Miranda (never heard of him, I just don't like Loiseau)
Wilks (never heard of the other dude)
Funch (only because you can rhyme his name good. I have a hunch that you shouldn't punch Funch because he will punch you a bunch and munch you for lunch)
Lennox (absolutely no reason at all)

Re: UFC 115 picks
I was so impressed with Dunham. He is going to be a top ranked lightweight someday.

Re: UFC 115 picks
Dunham did look great. Seemed to me that Barry could have finished the fight anytime he wanted in the first round, not he gets the L as a result.

Re: UFC 115 picks
Yeah, that Barry/CroCop fight was too cuddly.
Barry broke his hand and his foot. Not sure where in that fight. Either way, it didn't stop Franklin from putting the fight away when he needed to.
That was nuts. I felt bad for Chuck. I really didn't cheer for either fighter, I just wanted a good fight.
Rothwell won an unimpressive fight. I don't Care to see him fight again. Nor do I Carr for Yvel. These guys need takedown defense.
Kampmann was also impressive. I'd like either a Kampmann/Hathaway or a Kampmann/Fitch fight. If Shields gets signed this month, I'd like to see him face Kampmann.

Re: UFC 115 picks
I was very impressed with dunham as well as kampman. Kampman really dominated thiago in every area, although it made me angry when he apologized to the fans. He puts on the best performance of his career against a top ten fighter and he is apologizing.
Pat Barry has zero ground game or wrestling, and he also tries to play off the "im just having a good time and loving what i do" act and it came back and bit him hard.

Re: UFC 115 picks
I just learned about Pat's broken bones. So I guess he was just going to be nice and toy with CC for a dominant victory and then he was offenseless

Re: UFC 115 picks
clmetal, I remember many moons ago chatting with you in the grappling section of sherdog's forum. I was always trying to start wrestling related threads there and you and I chatted when I mentioned Alex Tsirtsis was my favorite wrestler when he was a senior in HS or frosh in college...I don't remember. Anywho your screen name has stuck with me throughout the years and I've been meaning to post this for quite some time, except I don't visit here very often.... I hope things are well with you.
