#1 Jon Jones (11-0) vs. #7 Chael Sonnen (0-0) – for light-heavyweight title Pick: Jon Jones – I don’t think there’s a single, serious MMA prognosticator that’s out there that’s picking Chael Sonnen to win. And how can you? Jones has been so dominant. But then I see some people say that this fight is...
UFC Predictions
UFC on Fuel TV 9: Mousasi vs. Latifi Predictions
#14 Gegard Mousasi (4-1) vs. Ilir Latifi (0-0, #31 LHW Prospect) Pick: Gegard Mousasi – I see this situation being very similar to when Nate Marquardt was pulled from a cable card and rising UFC prospect had to fight Charlie Brenneman instead.

UFC 158: St-Pierre vs. Diaz Predictions

UFC 156: Aldo vs. Edgar Predictions
#1 Jose Aldo (11-0) vs. #2 Frankie Edgar (0-0) Pick: Frankie Edgar – The difference will be Edgar’s ability to catch Aldo’s infamous leg kicks and maybe even take Aldo down. When UFC lightweights have dropped from 155 to 145, they have a 15-2 record. The fact that Edgar has been able...
