Prediction: correct Belfort   correct KO/TKO   wrong Round 2  

Belfort wants to erase his last outing against Anderson Silva with a win here. Akiyama is a very tough fighter for anybody to face, and he likes to brawl. Could be a very dangerous fight for Belfort, but I think "The Phenom" will get the victory.

Prediction: correct Belfort   correct KO/TKO   correct Round 1  

Sexyama has yet to be given an easy fight in the UFC and it won't be any different this time around. Akiyama can take some solid shots and I don't expect his lights to completely go out, but he'll be stopped.

Akiyama loses to Leben so he gets a higher ranked fighter in Bisping loses to him and gets a higher ranked fighter in Belfort.. Watch out guys Akiyama might get a title shot if he loses this

Prediction: correct Belfort   correct KO/TKO   correct Round 1  

Akiyama is durable and Belfort is a front runner. Akiyama definately has a chance. That being said, if he comes in to the fight with the same gameplan as fights before and not use his jude, he's probably getting lit up.

Prediction: correct Belfort   correct KO/TKO   wrong Round 2  

Akiyama is going down not once but twice: First, via KO by Vitor and then, down to welterweight, quite possibly pursuant to a drop-or-get-cut ultimatum from Dana White.

Prediction: correct Belfort   correct KO/TKO   wrong Round 2  

Akiyama has a chin, but I still think Belfort will win by KO.

Just like with the Hamill/Gustafsson fight, Akiyama neglects his judo like Hamill neglects his wrestling, and also, there's a question whether he'd be able to get the takedown anyway.

Prediction: correct Belfort   correct KO/TKO   wrong Round 2  

@minotauro11: Actually you're wrong about the 3 in a row part.  A lot of fighters have survived losing 3 in a row: Keith Jardine did (then he did get cut after losing 4 straight), Dan Hardy did, and even Matt Brown did, for heaven's sake.

4 losses in a row, however, has been fatal every single time - at least in the Dana White era anyway.

I'm guessing that if Akiyama does lose (and I think he will), he will be issued an ultimatum: Either go down to 170, or he will get cut.

The question becomes, will the UFC cut Sexyama with another loss?
