Roy Nelson vs. Brendan Schaub
- For a detailed prediction of this fight visit our Nelson vs. Scahub prediction page.
Pats Prediction
- The two HW finalists are set for the six figure contract. We have former IFL star Roy Nelson taking on former NFL and Greg Jackson student Brendan Schaub. Comparing the two side by side most would think Schaub would destroy Nelson. However Roy’s big belly is no indication of what he can bring into the Octagon. Scahub no doubt has a future in the UFC’s heavyweight division, but I think Nelson has the tools to throw him off. Nelson doesn’t have as much power in his hands as Schaub, but has very good standup. Enough to keep Schaub at bay and set up his takedowns. Expect a competitive fight, but Nelson’s experience and skill set will be enough to earn him a unanimous decision victory. Nelson via unanimous decision.
Frank Edgar vs. Matt Veach
- For a detailed prediction of this fight visit our Edgar vs. Veach prediction page.
Pats Prediction
- Here we have two fighters with very similar styles. They each have a wrestling background, good standup, and submissions. Edgar’s last fight was a very impressive win over Sean Sherk and Veach made his UFC debut with a TKO win over Matt Grice. This fight will come down to Edgar’s experience over much tougher competition. Veach is no push over and I don’t think he should be so high of an underdog in this fight. Frankie will get the best of the standup and stuff Veach’s takedowns en route to a unanimous decision victory. Frankie Edgar via unanimous decision.
Marcus Jones vs. Matt Mitrione
- For a detailed prediction of this fight visit our Jones vs. Mitrione prediction page.
Pats Prediction
- Marcus “The Darkness” Jones is back to face Matt “Meathead” Mitrione. This fight could go either way. Jones will need to take this fight to the mat and work for a Sub or lay down some ground & pound. Matt will want to keep it standing and trade shots looking for a big KO punch. I see Jones’s strength and reach being the difference here. Look for Jones to close the gap, tie up Matt and secure a takedown then unleash a fury of punches. “The Darkness” via first round T/KO.
Kimbo Slice vs. Houston Alexander
- For a detailed prediction of this fight visit our Slice vs. Alexander prediction page.
Pats Prediction
- This fight will not go past round one. Both fighters love to stand and bang and it will only be a matter of time before one gets caught. Neither one of them has a ground game to work with, so don’t expect to see a takedown unless one gets hurt and has no choice. I do like Kimbo and hope he has improved, but I see Houston storming out after the bell rings and catching Kimbo after a barrage of exchanges between the two. Houston Alexander via 1st round T/KO.
