d0ublestr0ker0ll Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 Just a reminder: UFC Fight Night: Swick vs. Burkman is 9PM on Spike tomorrow (Wednesday) The Swick/Burkman fight should be real good. I really like Burkman for his heart. Swick is fast with the striking but I think Burkman has an underrated standup/chin. Guy can take a licking and keep on ticking. I think I'll take Burkman in this one. He's better on the ground and I think he'll be able to get it there. Other fights are: Patrick Cote vs. Drew McFedries: I'll take Cote by submission. Alvin Robinson vs. Nate Diaz: I think Nate will knock him out. Thiago Tavares vs. Michihiro Omigawa: I'll take Thiago by decapitation. There are a couple of fights that won't be shown that make you shake your head. Alberto Crane (who survived 2 1/2 rounds with Roger Heurta) is fighting a mad ground gamer in Kurt Pallengrino. They should make these events 4 hours because that fight deserves to be shown. Also, Jeremy Stephens and Cole Miller might miss being aired. Thats a crock of **** when a 4-5 douschbag is fighting Thiago Taveres. Is this some kind of exhibition-type of bout just to get new MMA fans to say "wow, Thiago really killed that guy!"? Pathetic.

Swick by TKO in the 2nd - handspeed will be too much for Burkman McFreidres by KO in the 2nd - basically comes down to who lands the big bomb first, i'm guessing Drew will. Tavares by submission in the 1st - this dude is quickly becoming one of my favorite fighters. i rewatched his fight with Griffin a couple of times, and Tavares should've got the decision. hopefully next time they put him in with someone credible. i would love to see Tavares face Huerta:2cents: Diaz ain't KO'ng anybody man :laugh: , i'll say he wins by 3rd round sub -Robinson is good enough to keep this close and i wouldn't be surprised if he pulled out a win Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may not be a straight KO but a TKO could be likely. Robinson has pretty stout jiu jitsu, I think he'll be better on the ground than Diaz. Standing up, Diaz has the better hands.

d0ublestr0ker0ll Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 Gosh, what was Tavares waiting for? Omigawa hasn't thrown anything but fake punches in the standup. Not one freaking punch. Tavares should have wooped his ass in the 2nd Omigawa did better on the ground IMO. Wow. This could be a major upset. I think the upkick that broke Omigawa's nose will give Tavares the win. Hard fight to score, but I'd give every round to Tavares, barely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

d0ublestr0ker0ll Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 WOW. Crane broke that dude's jaw with that opening kick. But dude came back, still give the round to Crane. THIS is why fights like this need to be on the main card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raub Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 That Tavares-Omigawa fight was terrible. Tavares looked like he didn't know what to do. Dude's jaw didn't get broken, he got his top teeth put through his bottom lip. Ouch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other guy has a more face-damaging cut below his eye for sure. That will be a mass of scar tissue that will cut easily in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raub Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 I thought Burkman got "sort of" robbed. He wasn't dominant, but he was the aggressor for most of the match and neither fighter did anything spectacular. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
