UFC Watch St.Pierre vs Alves Prediction / Analysis / Update / Result

This is UFC Watch St. Pierre vs Alves Prediction / Analysis / Picks / Result - St. Pierre vs Alves is the co-main event of UFC 100 - as I've said before WOW!!! So who will win St. Pierre vs Alves? Calm down. Let us first examine our fighters.

Georges St. Pierre is one of the most complete fighters in the UFC today. He can kick, wrestle, box and has jiujitsu skills too in his arsenal. In short, he is truly a Mixed Martial Artist and will use whatever weapons he has depending on his opponent. In addition, St.Pierre works hard in the gym which pays off whenever he fights.

Thiago Alves is a Muay Thai expert with powerful knee with EMPHASIS ON HIS KNEE. Many have tasted how devastatingly strong his knee is....the victim's list is long. Don't forget his striking is also deadly, quick and precise. Besides, he has a tough take down defense which put Josh Koscheck at bay. Alves' bad side are he once tested positive for a banned substance according to MMAweekly (diuretic) and was three pounds overweight against Matt Hughes back in UFC 85 (he made weight on his last fight against Koscheck though).

So what does this description mean? It means we will see a GREAT FIGHT!

Most experts' predictions and picks tend to sway on St. Pierre. However, I think Alves has a strong chance of scoring an upset esp. if he uses the his explosiveness which might even take St. Pierre by surprise. In his last fight against Josh Koscheck, Thiago Alves looked like a faster version of GSP. But St. Pierre always finds a way to beat his opponent. We'll see what will happen this July 11th.

Lesnar vs Mir 2 UFC 100 / Preview / Fight Analysis / Prediction/ Live Streaming

Lesnar vs Mir 2 Preview / Fight Analysis / Prediction --- The fight that will headline UFC 100 is Lesnar vs Mir...WOW! Frank Mir, the Ultimate Fighting Championship interim Heavyweight champ, will get the chance to regain the real Heavyweight crown he once had when he faces the reigning king Brock Lesnar on July 11th, 2009 at the Mandalay Bay Center, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA.

Brock Lesnar has a simple way of winning - take down the opponent and brutally pound them on the ground. It is mostly successful but it didn't work on a Jiujitsu expert like Frank Mir who simply turned the tables around and submitted Lesnar via knee bar in their first fight (first ever UFC fight for the latter too). Relying on his size and wrestling alone isn't enough for Brock to beat Mir. He has won his two other fights since then. On the other hand, Frank Mir is on a rampage and has three straight wins (including Brock) and a massive victory over Mixed Martial Arts legend Antonio Noguiera.

There's still a possibility Lesnar will resort to takedown and ground and pound again but he should be wary of Mir's submission. For Mir, he should survive the initial Lesnar attack. Once he does, he should continually look for openings and submit the former NCAA Wrestling heavyweight champ again. Yes, Lesnar is a skilled wrestler and has punching power too as Randy Couture knows by now but no one can say for certain whether Lesnar's submission defense has really improved and this is where Mir can take advantage.

I wrote it down as if it is that simple, no it isn't. It will be a hard fight for the two warriors and as a MMA fan I know that. I hope the two give us a great fight and nobody gets seriously hurt or injured.

UFC 88 BREAKTHROUGH OR KATSIDIS-DIAZ?

This Sunday, I still can't make up my mind on what sporting event to watch. Will it be UFC 88 Breakthrough featuring Piccolo, I mean, Chuck Liddell versus Rashad Evans in the main event, or the mouthwatering match between two ring warriors Michael Katsidis and Juan Diaz? The problem with the UFC event is - it might turn into another overwhelming victory by Liddell unlike the Michael Katsidis (Australia) versus Juan Diaz fight (no disrespect meant to Rashad Evans. I know Mixed Martial Arts is unpredictable anything can happen).Though, the only thing I'm sure about the boxing match tomorrow is - it is going to be explosive. Both Katsidis and Diaz (United States) never back down, they are always aggressive. They seek to knock somebody out and would always press for action - that's the reason I said it is going to be a mouthwatering fight. Nowadays, it is rare for two gung-ho warriors to meet each other. But I must admit most boxers today are boring though some are technically sound in the game of sweet science. No matter what happens -I'll keep you my dear readers updated.

I see Katsidis getting cut again. He bleeds easily - sometimes his aggressive style backfires on him (see Katsidis vs Casamayor match - Katsidis was leading in the match but got cocky in the later rounds and was knocked out). Not to mention, his big mouth stirs hostility against him.

On the other hand, Juan Diaz was outsmarted by Nate Campbell in their last match. Campbell used all the tricks he had and came away with a victory.

Due to these losses, both of them were eliminated in the fictional race among lightweights to face Manny Pacquiao. Still in the running are Nate Campbell and Joel Casamayor - their technical style don't attract a huge following that's why these two won't meet anytime soon. Juan Manuel Marquez, who haughtily declared he beat Manny twice last week and Joan Guzman (aka Guzrun to disgruntled fans) are also candidates to date, I mean fight Manny. By the way, the four of them will meet each other next week: Guzman vs Campbell and Marquez vs Casamayor. Hard for some people to swallow reality, but these boxers are after MONEY Pacquiao - it is an undeniable fact in the lightweights.

Amir Khan put himself in the race but backed out after seeing Pacquiao vs Diaz fight months ago. He was scared or humbled, whichever you prefer by that HARROWING experience.

Because of its relevance, I think I will prioritize the boxing match first.
