UFC 146 predictions

What a amazing card! The prelims are just as good as the main card.

MAIN CARD (pay-per-view)

Champ Junior Dos Santos vs. Frank Mir (for heavyweight title)
Antonio Silva vs. Cain Velasquez
Dave Herman vs. Roy Nelson
Shane Del Rosario vs. Stipe Miocic
Lavar Johnson vs. Stefan Struve

PRELIMINARY CARD (FX)

Diego Brandao vs. Darren Elkins
Edson Barboza vs. Jamie Varner
C.B. Dollaway vs. Jason "Mayhem" Miller
Dan Hardy vs. Duane "Bang" Ludwig

PRELIMINARY CARD (Facebook)

Paul Sass vs. Jacob Volkmann
Kyle Kingsbury vs. Glover Teixeira
Mike Brown vs. Daniel Pineda

I will take

Dos Santos
Cain Velasquez
Roy Nelson
Shane Del Rosario
Stefan Struve
C.B. Dollaway
Duane "Bang" Ludwig

Ive pretty much always counted Mir out but since hes proved me wrong one too many times Ill go with him this time. As long as Mir is smart about this fight, which I think he will be, he could very easily sub JDS.
Since Struve doesnt realize hes about a foot taller than his opponents and use his reach and for whatever reason decides to fight in a phone booth, I think Johnson gets another KO of the night bonus.

HaHA! Now I know your handle on MMAfighting.com, Brent. I will also take Mir because I can't wait to hear the lamentations of Big Nog fans about how he got lucky and only won because Dos Santos did something stupid.

MAIN CARD

Junior Dos Santos vs. Frank Mir (for heavyweight title) - JDS
Antonio Silva vs. Cain Velasquez - Bigfoot
Dave Herman vs. Roy Nelson - Nelson
Shane Del Rosario vs. Stipe Miocic - Miocic
Lavar Johnson vs. Stefan Struve - Johnson

PRELIMINARY CARD

Diego Brandao vs. Darren Elkins - Brandao
Edson Barboza vs. Jamie Varner - Barboza
C.B. Dollaway vs. Jason "Mayhem" Miller - Dollaway
Dan Hardy vs. Duane "Bang" Ludwig - Hardy

PRELIMINARY CARD

Paul Sass vs. Jacob Volkmann - Volkmann
Kyle Kingsbury vs. Glover Teixeira - Kingsbury
Mike Brown vs. Daniel Pineda - Brown

I just hope Sass beats Volkmann, I hate that guys interviews almost as much as his fighting style. It's like when Johnny Hendricks killed John Fitch with that punch and ended that boring streak, it reincarnated itself in Jacob Volkmann. Fitching lives on my friends, and that is not ok.

Haha yes I hope Sass gets the W for sure :-)

These things always make me laugh

One of the best stacked cards ever!!!!!!!!!!!! JDS was unstoppable like always

I did absolutely terrible on my fight picks 4 out of 12!

1 for 1, thank God someone stopped Volkmann. Sass and Johnny Hendricks have been given hero status in my book right next to Rocky and Ghandi.

I was rooting for Sass the entire way. I thought Volkmann could stifle the ground game but as soon as it hit the ground you could tell who was the better ground fighter. That triangle was beautiful!
