Predictions on UFC 99: The Comeback

Fight card looks pretty good. No title-shots, but every ‘to be broadcast’ fight has someone I cheer for. Plus the Comeback title is no UFC joke, I bet if any of my fan-favorite picks lose they could be in some career trouble.

Rich Franklin Vs. Wanderlei Silva

I like watching both of these guys fight… after the fight Rich’s interviews are alot better… really it could go either way, but I am hoping Franklin wins and truly starts a rise back to a title shot. Anderson Silva has to start losing eventually…

Cheick Kongo Vs. Cain Velasquez

I said this before Cheick’s last fight, but I really want him to win and get to fight Brock. Cheick against Brock would be a great heavyweight fight. Cain has an awesome UFC record, but it might be too few fights… Cheick will be a higher level of fighter that Cain has not faced before.

Mike Swick Vs. Ben Saunders

Mike’s won a few lately… but I don’t think they have been against quite top guys… hopefully he gets to 5 wins in a row and then moves up to a contender shot.

Marcus Davis Vs. Dan Hardy

The promotion hype for this was has been ok. I’m hoping Marcus keeps knocking everyone else out.

Mirko Cro Cop Vs. Mostapha Al Turk

As long as Mirko wins he should be ok. (A first round leg kick knockout would be great.) Maybe the UFC should have made the Pride fighters do the reality show like Kimbo Slice.

Overall UFC 99 looks pretty good.
