Predictions: 6 of 12 Winners, 5 Perfect, 450 Points   |   Tied for 938th

Cain Velasquez returns as the champion to prove that he once again can be the best in the world. But standing in his way once again is Antonio "Bigfoot" Silva. Cain Velasquez coming off his big wins over Bigfoot Silva and the champion in Junior dos Santos to reclaim his belt. Where as Bigfoot is coming of 2 big victories, including once undefeated Travis Browne and in a huge upset over Strikeforce and K-1 champion Alistair Overeem.

They are set to meet again for a heavyweight contest for the UFC Heavyweight Championship.

And for the co-main event we have a great striking battle in the former UFC heavyweight champion Junior dos Santos and the former K-1 champion and PRIDE FC veteran and modern day cinderella man, Mark "Super Samoan" Hunt. A true test in striking to find out who could be next for the title.

And for a battle of Light Heavyweights we have the Brazilian sensation in Glover Teixeira taking on an Australian contender in James Te Huna.

And to start out the Pay Per View Night we have 2 Lightweight matches starting with Donald "Cowboy" Cerrone vs a man making his UFC debut KJ Noons, and after that 2 top 10 contenders in TJ Grant and Gray "The Bully" Maynard will battle it out to see where they stand in the Lightweight Division.

A great night of fights for a great main card along with a must watch prelims.

Make your predictions and enjoy a great night of fights for the UFC Heavyweight Championship

My "of the Night" Predictions

Fight of the Night: Junior Dos Santos vs Mark Hunt or Teixeira vs Te Huna in a close second and in 3rd Maynard vs Grant (Really tough category, maybe more than one)

Knockout of the Night: MARK HUNT!!!

Submission of the Night: I can't really see any, plus I didn't pick one.

Khabib, Bermudez, Cerrone, and Glover are a few guys that could end up taking sub of the night.

I think the only guy i have of those four getting a sub is Khabib. I just listed those four because they all could win by sub. The other three i have winning decisions.

Khabib just has a solid ground game, i think Bermudez is miles ahead of Holloway on the mat and could grab a guillotine, Cerrone could definitely tap KJ, and Glover is a BJJ BB who definitely has the capability to catch Te Huna if the opportunity arises.

UFC 160: Win Streak

Predictions: 7 of 12 Winners, 3 Perfect, 475 Points   |   Tied for 709th

Of the 12 bouts and 24 fighters on UFC 160, only the following fighters are coming off of losses:

- Dos Santos
- Cerrone
- Noons
- Stephen Thompson
- Bowles
- Jeremy Stephens

I haven't done any comparisons, but 18 of 24 coming off of wins seems like a lot.

UFC 159 Fighters coming off losses out of 11 fights, 22 fighters:
- Sonnen
- Belcher
- Caraway
- Cody McKenzie
- Leonard Garcia
- Siler
- Holobaugh

7/22 = 32%



UFC 158 Fighters coming off losses out of 12 fights, 24 fighters:
- Nick Diaz
- Condit
- Marquardt
- Mike Ricci
- Colin Fletcher
- Rick Story
- Issei Tamura
- George Roop
- Reuben Duran

9/24 = 38%


vs UFC 160 = 25%

So the differences aren't huge, but it does seem a little unusual for 160.

Me too


I really want to pick Hunt by 3rd rd KO and Whitaker by 1st rd KO.

SOTN - Teixeira, because I think Nurmy's will be set up by strikes whereas Glover's will be more technical.

KOTN - Any of my predicted 1st rd KOs. Stephens, Bowles, and Maynard all have the 1 shot kill power but Thompson's flashiness is probably the smart pick.

FOTN - Hope it's the "People's Main Event" but I'll take Nurmagomedov vs. Trujillo just slightly over Cerrone/Noons.

Yeah I know I'm waffling so much they should call me Eggo.

@Mule- Teixeira via Arm Triangle in the second? That's what I'm thinking.
