This looks like a good fight card. I have my predictions in my signature, and I'm curious to know what this community thinks.
BJ Penn vs Sean Sherk:
I love BJ, and am not too big a fan of Sherk. Not so much because of the steroid thing, but more because I just don't like fighters who sit on top of another one for 3 rounds to get a decision. Still, I think Sean will neutralize BJ's takedowns and ground skills and will gain a dominant position for enough of the fight to get a unanimous decision.
Tito Ortiz vs Lyto Machida:
Sure Machida has a perfect record and has beat some top competition BEFORE they were considered top compitition (Franklin, Penn), but the fact of the matter is that he can't finish fights. Against a guy like Tito - who has only been KO'd once by Chuck Liddell - Machida's only chance is in the decision. I do think, however, that Tito CAN finish the fight, and I think he can score with more takedowns, dominant positions, etc if the fight does go to decision. I call Tito by TKO in the 2nd due to ground n' pound.
Wanderlei Silva vs Keith Jardine:
Keith has some excellent wins over Forrest Griffin and Chuck Liddell showing that he is a striker to be taken seriously, but then a sound loss handed to him from Houston Alexander. Wanderlei Silva has lost his last 3 fights, but then again he lost them to very top competition like Chuck Liddell, Cro Cop, and Hendo. Wand has already established himself as a legend in this sport, and I beleive this fight will show that he is still a force to be reconed with. I predict a couple knees to the face will KO or TKO Jardine.
