UFC 79 Predictions: Nemesis

Overall fight card looks pretty good. 

Matt Hughes Vs. Georges St-Pierre

With this match-up I will always pick GSP. If only Georges would be able to keep it together at the top he could win 5 straight as the champ. Matt seems better able to cope with the over the top celebrity status pressure Americans do for everything now. Fight wise it looks close. George is more fun to watch as a fast knock-out striker versus the slow Matt wearing down to a submission win.

Chuck Liddell Vs. Wanderlei Silva

Only because I have been cheering for Chuck so long will I stick with him. I don’t know enough about Wanderlei to jump ship. Lets hope Silva hasn’t watched all of Chuck’s fight so he will walk straight in and get knocked out. Any other move could be trouble. Like Keith Jardine’s wave Chuck in making him look like a chicken defence against Chuck’s constant backing up counter punch attack.

Rich Clementi Vs. Melvin Guillard

I have been hoping for action packed Melvin for a while now. The more explosive fighters are the best to watch. I might have a poor memory, but he seems to gas out near the end of the fight and get submitted… Probably has great cardio, but the excitement of the event and crushing the other guy for two rounds burns up alot of energy. Maybe for a game-plan he should relax and do very little for the first minute of round 1.

No personal favorites in the other fights. Just hoping for action.
