UFC 80 Predictions: Rapid Fire

Overall fight card looks pretty good.  I think the two main fights are big enough to carry the rest. Especially the main event. 

BJ Penn Vs. Joe Stevenson

BJ is the UFC version of batman training out of Hawaii, but I am hoping for Joe the rated underdog. It is a tough choice between these two. Weird having BJ as a top contender for two weight classes, but not the champ. Strange.

Gabriel Gonzaga Vs. Fabricio Werdum

Over the last few fights Gonzaga has become a more exciting fighter so I definitely will cheer for him again. Even though he lost to Randy, the fight itself was fun to watch. Again I don’t have much on the ex pride fighters. Just that Fabricio’s last fight was painful to watch. I was booing with boredom.

Jorge Rivera Vs. Kendall Grove

A smaller reality show celebrity fight thrown into the fight card. Cheering for Kendall Grove. I am still sad he lost his last fight, so he should come out explosive. Jorge is returning after a big injury layoff so that has to work against him a bit mentally.

.

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