UFN 14 Picks?

[Piranesi]

We might as well argue this shit together. It's an IFL clusterfuck and I'm lost.

[Piranesi]

Main Card Bouts:
-Anderson Silva (#1 Middleweight in the World)* vs. James Irvin (at Light Heavyweight)
-Frankie Edgar vs. Hermes Franca
-Brandon Vera vs. Reese Andy
-Anthony Johnson vs. Kevin Burns

Preliminary Bouts:
-Jake O'Brien vs. Cain Velasquez
-Brad Blackburn vs. James Giboo
-Rory Markham vs. Brodie Farber
-Dale Hartt vs. Shannon Gugerty
-Nate Loughran vs. Johnny Rees
-Jesse Taylor vs. C.B. Dollaway

[Piranesi]

Giboo got beat by Ryan Jensen. Blackburn's got a ton of losses, but to pretty good guys.

Giboo looks to have some pretty heavy hands, but I'll have to take Blackburn.

Blackburn vs Heleno

[Piranesi]

There's no youtube material on Giboo.

Brad Blackburn vs Rory Markham

[Piranesi]

Blackburn looks to have great takedown defense and explosive takedowns. Like diet Tyson Griffin.

[Piranesi]

Giboo looks to rely on submissions, which he won't get on Blackburn.


Brad Blackburn by TKO. He'll get him against the cage at some point, take him down, and pass.

[Piranesi]

Blackburn's jaw looks a little suspect, but James won't test it.

Brodie Farber

Brodie Farber vs Brian Warren

[Elk Penis]

Dale Earnhardt is fighting Shannon Daugherty?

[Piranesi]

Farber is an OKAY wrestler, but can't do much with it. If he can get Markham down, which he probably won't, he'll get armbarred or triangled, otherwise Markham puts him out on the feet.

Rory Markham by Submission.

[Piranesi]

Shannon Gugerty (http://www.sherdog.com/fightfinder/fightfinder.asp?FighterID=11001) vs Dale Hartt (http://www.sherdog.com/fightfinder/fightfinder.asp?FighterID=11970)

[Piranesi]

Gugerty's got a win over a young Cub Swanson, and a subsequent loss to him and his mate, Shawn Bias. Bias is a pretty good 145, so I won't write that off. Gugerty might come in undersized, though, but he trains with KJ Noons, who is a master of warping his body around.

[Piranesi]

Dale Hartt on paper looks to be young, fresh, and a finisher.

[Elk Penis]

Shannon Gugerty (http://www.sherdog.com/fightfinder/fightfinder.asp?FighterID=11001) vs Dale Hartt (http://www.sherdog.com/fightfinder/fightfinder.asp?FighterID=11970)

same thing

[Piranesi]

Dale Hartt at Grapplers Quest

[Piranesi]

Another match :

[Piranesi]

Hartt knows his fucking drag chokes.

[Piranesi]

Not much out on Gugerty. I'll take Hartt by submission over the potentially one-dimensional Noons product.

[Piranesi]

Nate Loughran (http://www.sherdog.com/fightfinder/fightfinder.asp?FighterID=15626) vs Johnny Rees (http://www.sherdog.com/fightfinder/fightfinder.asp?FighterID=14891)

[Piranesi]

18-0 between the two, all finishes.

[Piranesi]

Loughran subbed Richard Montoya and Kenny Ento, two great Californian fighters out with PFC.

[Piranesi]

No video on either, but Loughran looks to be way more impressive on paper.

Loughran by Submission

[Piranesi]

In an inverse sense, Jesse Taylor got raped by Kenny Ento. I've seen the fight, and Jesse looked like shit. CB UD.

[Piranesi]

Silva by TKO (James Irvin)
Edgar by UD (Hermes Franca)
Vera by SUB (Reese Andy)
Johnson by TKO (Kevin Burns)
Velasquez by TKO (Jake O'Brien)
Blackburn by TKO (James Giboo)
Markham by SUB (Brodie Farber)
Hartt by SUB (Shannon Gugerty)
Loughran by SUB (Johnny Rees)
Dollaway by UD (Jesse Taylor)

[Torremalku]

WOW only a minimal response to the 3 important fights on this card.

As as MMA offshoot TCM is losing steam.

[Torremalku]

1). Team JT Money has eggs

2). A Silva will steal the LHW belt from Forrest in a few months. Irvin will be destroyed.

3). Vera will happily prove his last loss was the most bullshit call in the entire history of the UFC.

[Mr. Dead Sexy]

Okay, I'll admit, I know little about the IFL. Here's my picks though

Anderson 1st round TKO
Vera 2nd round TKO
Edgar UD
Black GSP 1st round KO
Rory Markham 2nd round TKO
Blackburn 2nd round TKO
Gugerty 1st round sub (purely based on the fact he's a City Boxing prospect)
Rees 1st round sub (dunno shit about either)
Velasquez 1st round TKO
COCO IS KIIIIIIING UD

[Mr. Dead Sexy]

If anyone cares, I'll be happy to defend my picks as best I can.

[Mr. Dead Sexy]

Holy dog shit Cain Velasquez is the underdog to Jake O'Brien. Bet the fucking farm. Even money is HIGHWAY ROBBERY. It's fucking them without lube or a reach around. It's just fucking sweet.

[HHJ]

since i dont think edgar has sherkroids,if he eats a franca flying knee he may go down,otherwise he will use teh sherk powers and keep franca on his back for teh decision
