Silva v. Bisping: Whose subtitles do you want to read? My UFC 110 picks

From the land down under, comes UFC 110. Here are my main card picks and other musings on the card. When I think of Australia the first thing that comes to mind is the VOICE and wouldn’t it be nice if there could be some co-promotion with the announcers? We could finally witness the bromance that has spawned between Mike and Joe via Twitter. and back in the day I really like Midnight Oil.  Let’s see what picks I can make at a moments notice. I hear gambling makes MMA more fun, so to those that do good luck.

The first card of the PPV is most likely Pride legend Mirko Cro Cop vs. IFL legend Ben Rothwell. Rothwell looked pretty bad against Velasquez and Mirko has changed his training to try and regain that luster from his Pride days. I’m taking Cro Cop with the TKO  in the 1st round.

Next up we got Ryan Bader v. Keith Jardine. Bader all the way, if Greg Jackson can’t teach Jardine not to hold his arms as far apart as possible he will get KO’d again. Greg Jacakson may be able to turn around the career of Melvin Guillard (quite the task) but for some reason can’t teach Keith to keep his hands by his temple instead of doing wax on wax off down by his chest. Bader via TKO in the 2nd by Ground n Pound

Joe Daddy Steven takes on George Sotiropoulos in a battle of guys that choke or joint lock any of us. So guess what? A stand up war it shall be.  Joe Daddy takes the UD winning the stand up game.

In the night’s co-main event, the guy in the picture, no not me, is taking on Michael Bisping. Wanderlei really needs a win at his debut in middleweight. I think I maybe ignoring my head on this one but I’m going with Silva via vicious knee to KO Bisping in the second round.

And in the main event we have another Pride legend Antonio Nogueira takeing on Cain Velasquez, a HW who may have the best cardio ever seen in that division. This one is going the distance people. In a upset I’m going with Cain getting the split decision and earning himself a shot at the heavyweight title possibly toward the end of 2010.

Enjoy the fights!
