For all you gamblers out there I just wanna give away one free parlay for this weekends fight.  Its almost a sure fire money maker but as we all know anything can happen in MMA.

Upset Pick #1

Charlie Brenneman takes on undefeated Johny Hendricks.  Johny is a huge favorite and I just don’t understand why.  Charlie is a tough kid and pure gamer.  Brenneman will come ready to fight and its not going to be as easy as most people think.  Charlie is a tough kid and I just got a feeling he will pull of the upset.  I don’t have any logical reasoning behind this but its a gut feeling and I’m stickin with it.

Winner- Brenneman

Upset Pick #2

Matt Hughes vs Richardo Almeida. Here is a no brainer I’m going with the UFC Hall of Famer Matt Hughes aka the Gracie killer.  I’m not sure if you call this an upset but according to the betting line it is. Matt Hughes has already beaten Matt Serra, Royce Gracie, Renzo Gracie and whats to say he’s not going to be Ricardo Alemeida.  If you ask me Almeida is probably the best match up for Hughes out of all the Gracie guys Hughes ran through but I still don’t see him beating the all time great.

Winner – Hughes

Favorite Pick #1

Junior Dos Santos takes on Roy “Big Country” Nelson.  This is fight is just a no brainer, Junior Dos Santos’s boxing is just too good.  The only thing to debate here is whether Nelson’s large body falling to the canvas will be louder then the roar of the crowd.

Winner – Junior Dos Santos aka “Dos Dos”

Favorite Pick #2

Anderson Silva vs Chael Sonnen.  After all the shit Sonnen has been talking for months its about time Anderson Silva gets the chance to shut him up.  Silva has remained pretty quiet leading up to the fight and that isn’t good for Sonnen.  That means the Spider is focused and is not playing into Sonnen’s hands by responding to those insane comments.  Good Luck to Sonnen. Hes gonna need it.

Winner – Anderson Silva

There you guys go!

  • Silva
  • Dos Santos
  • Hughes
  • Brenneman

UPDATE: Sorry guys.. Result one wrong.  Charlie Brenneman couldn’t pull off the upset.

All I can say is WOW, I can’t believe the Last Emperor has fallen.  Fedor came into this weekends fight with Werdum as the heavy favorite and he left a loser for the first time in his career.  All the hype surrounding the Russian legend couldn’t save him from Werdum’s tight triangle choke and the man they call the Last Emperor looked more like the Lost Emperor as he had no choice but to tap out.

After the fight the MMA messages boards where flooded with some fans celebrating and while others were mourning.  All in all what I did learn from the fight was that NO ONE is invincible.

I was sitting around at work the yesterday looking at some upcoming fights and then it hit me BOOM Fedor Emelianenko vs Fabricio Werdum was this upcoming weekend.  As a fan I’m not that thrilled about the match up but HEY its Fedor and he is the so called greatest fighter on the planet so I’m going to have to tune in.

I know its only Wednesday but this fight doesn’t have that big fight vibe, well Fedor’s fights never have that big fight vibe.  You would think if the greatest fighter in the world was about to fight someone people would be talking about it.  I guess it just goes to show what a terrible marketing job Strikeforce does for its fighters and fight promotion.

Fedor said “I’m not a UFC fan”, maybe he should start being a UFC fan so people outside the hardcore fans and the Russian community actually care about his fights. I’m pretty sure all the hardcore fans are going to tune in to see Fedor but I don’t see any causal fans tuning into this fight card.  Outside the Fedor fight it doesn’t really offer much other then watching lady beast Cyborg Santos crush another female opponent.  They better start feeding her male fighters just to start making her fights  competitive.

Anyway tune in Saturday night and watch the greatest fighter no one cares about battle it out with another lesser opponent.  This one should end in a brutal knockout but if it doesn’t you might get to witness one of the greatest upsets in MMA history.
