Prediction: correct Makdessi   correct KO/TKO   wrong Round 2  

Watson will be a great opponent for Makdessi but my gut instinct tells me his style, will and training will out perform Watson. Regardless it will be the fight of the night for sure.

Watson needs to get this fight to the ground quickly, or it will be a short night for him.

I really liked Watson on TUF, and I think he's gonna be able to get it to the floor and control Makdessi.

Prediction: correct Makdessi   wrong Decision  

Makdessi's debut was like one long highlight reel.  Been looking forward to his next fight ever since.  Watson is a tough fighter, but I'm still contemplating on whether or not he'll make it to the final bell in this fight.

Prediction: correct Makdessi   correct KO/TKO   wrong Round 1  

Despite Watson having the slicker ground game, I'm hoping for a flash KO in this one, and Makdessi definitely has the chops for one.

I was unable to find much tape on either of these two fighters, so I'm truly guessing on this fight.

Prediction: wrong Watson   wrong Decision  

Grappler vs. Striker again. Going with Watson the grappler. He was in town and helped with a seminar at the last tournament I went to so there's some sentiment involved in this pick as well.

I hope I'm wrong with this one, but I think that Makdessi might be getting too much credit for his flashy showing against an inert Audinwood.

Makdessi has gotten some hype and I'm excited to see if he's as good as people say he is.
