UFC 93 Predictions

WARNING: If you don't care about the UFC, or are looking for additional content in this post, leave now. Nothing for you to see here.

I've enlisted the aid of two friends who are fans of the UFC. I asked them for their picks for UFC 93 on 1/17/09 to take place in Ireland. I hope to keep picking their brains all year and tracking how well we predict the outcomes of what is arguably one of the toughest sports to prognosticate.

Without further delay... here are our picks for the match-ups on the main card for UFC 93::

Chris Lytle v Marcus Davis:
Alan - Lytle by decision
Jorge - Davis by 3rd rd TKO
Roger - Lytle by 3rd rd submission

Jeremy Horn v Rousimar Palhares:
A/J/R - Palhares by 2nd rd sub

Alan Belcher v Denis Kang:
A - Kang by decision
J - Belcher by 2nd rd TKO
R - Kang by 3rd rd sub

Mauricio 'Shogun' Rua v Mark Coleman
A - Rua by 2nd rd sub
J - Rua by 3rd rd TKO
R - Rua by decision

Rich Franklin v Dan Henderson:
A - Franklin by 3rd rd TKO
J - Henderson by 3rd rd TKO (GnP)
R - Henderson by decision

Check back during the later part of Saturday 1/17 for the results (and to see which of us had the better night).

... Until Saturday night, fellow UFC fan...
