Predictions for UFC 98

For the Main Event we have our Rashad Evans vs. Lyoto Machida prediction page

Matt Hughes vs. Matt Serra

Pats Prediction

  • The long awaited grudge match is finally here.  I hope this fight is worth the wait, The feud started  between these two  awhile back and the fight never happened due to injuries.  From recent interviews it seems the hatred still lingers on and lets hope they bring it to the Octagon.  I like Serra in this fight, as he is a big underdog.  I see Serra submitting Hughes in the second round.

 Hughes vs. Serra Odds 

Sean Sherk vs. Frank Edgar

Pats Prediction

  • Frank “The Answer” Edgar is a very talented fighter, but I see Sherk’s Strength and superior wrestling making the difference in this fight. This will turn into another unanimous decision victory for Sherk as he will lay on top of Edgar for three rounds.

 Sherk vs. Edgar Odds

Dan Miller vs. Chael Sonnen

Pats Prediction

  • WEC’s Chael Sonnen will have a second try in the UFC taking on jiu jitsu ace Dan Miller. Sonnen has great power, takedown’s, and excellent wrestling.  The problem here is that he will most likely takedown Miller, but this will eventually play into Miller’s advantage because of his jiu jitsu.  Sonnen’s submission defense will once again get him in trouble and submitted via triangle choke in the second round. 

 Miller vs. Sonnen Odds

Drew McFedries vs. Xavier Foupa-Pokam

Pats Prediction

  • Why this fight is on the main card is beyond me.  I have McFedries via second round TKO.
