Predictions for UFC 106: Ortiz vs. Griffin

Josh Koscheck vs. Anthony Johnson

For a detailed prediction of this fight visit our Koscheck vs. Johnson prediction page.

Pats Prediction

In this fight we will see Anthony Johnson look to keep this fight standing and land a devastating kick or punch. While Koscheck will look to land a KO punch of his own, I believe he will need to use his wrestling and get secure a few takedowns. Even though we haven’t seen Johnson’s ground game he is a solid wrestler and taking him down will not be easy for Koscheck. I see Koscheck fighting smart and trading with Johnson, but mostly to set up the takedown. It will be a very competitive fight and I have Koscheck doing enough damage to take home the win. Koscheck via split decision.

Amir Sadollah vs. Phil Baroni

Pats Prediction

Here we have TUF 7 winner Amir Sadollah taking on “The New York Bad Ass” Phil Baroni. Baroni a wrestler and power puncher will have one thing on his mind. He will come out hard in the first round with a flurry of heavy hands looking to land on Sadollah’s chin. I really believe Amir’s only chance at winning this fight is to weather the early storm and make it out of round one. We all know Baroni’s cardio is terrible and tends to gas out in the later rounds. If Amir can take it into the third round he may be able to sneak in a submission on a tired Baroni. I don’t see that happening and Baroni will overwhelm Sadollah with wild heavy punches and connect midway first round. Baroni via first round KO. Baroni is the underdog, so take this bet early before it withers away.

Luiz Cane vs. Antonio Rogerio Nogueira

Pats Prediction

This fight slates two dangerous Brazilian fighters. We have the UFC debut of “Lil Nog” Antonio Rogerio Nogueira pitted against heavy handed striker Luiz Cane. Cane lost his UFC debut to James Irvin via DQ and has since looked very good winning three in a row. Cane will most likely look to keep the fight standing trading shots with Lil Nog. Nogueira definitely has the advantage on the ground, but he can definitely hold his own striking. Nogueira is too well rounded for Cane and will wrap up a submission in the third round. Nogueira via third round submission.

Karo Parisyan vs. Dustin Hazelett

Pats Prediction

In the first fight on the main card we have “The Heat” vs. “McLovin”. Now if were going off names alone you have to take “The Heat”. Dustin “McLovin” Hazelett is a very good grappler with a majority of his wins coming via submission. Karo Parisyan is also a very solid grappler and accomplished judoka. Both fighters are par at best in the striking department and rely on takedowns to secure wins. I give Parisyan the advantage standing and a slight advantage on the ground. With that in mind this fight goes to Parisyan via unanimous decision.
