[Beebs]

rampage jackson vs dan henderson - TKO, 3rd, or a decision 4-1
Discussed why in another post.

matt hamil vs michael bisping- TKO 1
Hamil has some good skills for a new comer and very good wrestling, but Bisping is just better, even with the style matchup of Bispings poor wrestling, which is probably overblown anyway.

mirko cro cop vs cheik congo - KO 2
CroCops a better striker, even if its closer than most think in what should be nearly a pure striking affair, and a good deal better at everything else in case its not.


marcus davis vs paul taylor - Decision 3-0, possibly sub or KO, but likely decision.
Taylor is good for a relative unknown, but this fight is set up for Davis to win, and he will oblige. He is very good standing up and really surprisingly good with subs. Taylor is game and stands a good chance of at least going the distance. Taylor could have been a good value bet, but the books did their research and have him at only +155, and with Davis at -205, no bet is that great on this fight.


houston alexander vs alessio sakara - TKO 2
While he has been tremendously overhyped and dissapointing, Sakara seems to have a good fighter hidden somwhere in his poor gameplans and mistakes. Alexander is good and deserves credit for what he did to Jardine, but it isn't enough for me to pick him in this fight. Sakara at +130 is a good bet.

Pride has the better champions, Henderson should win.

Jackson fought in Pride for how many years, and never won a Pride title? After about two fights Jackson , Anderson Silva won the UFC title.

Henderson has never been KO'd ,and he has fought everyone! He is an Olympic level wrestler and can win the fight on the ground. Henderson even layed out Wanderlei Silva with a left hook in his last fight.

Jackson entered in pride fc in 2001 and left in 2006..
Henderson became a pride fighter in 2000 and left in 2007...

"Jackson vs Henderson:
I think a lot of people will take Quinton Jackson in this one because of his dominant victories over former UFC light heavyweight champion Chuck Liddell; and who would blame them? I on the other hand will take an olympic wrestler over junior college any day. If you are having trouble with this concept, watch the fight between Randy Couture and Tito Ortiz again. See how easily Randy out wrestled Tito? If Dan Henderson wants to, he can do the same thing to Quinton Jackson.

Of course, this isn't a wrestling match, it's an MMA event and nothing takes a wrestler out of his element like being put on his back or being punched in the face. Unfortunately for "Rampge" Dan Henderson doesn't seem to mind being punched. Dan Henderson has never been KO'd. He's only lost fights by submission and decision. I doubt that Quinton Jackson is going to submit Hendo, so that leaves the KO. Quinton has the firepower, but to get there he's going to get his chin tested by Dan Henderson's heavy hands.
UFC 75 Prediction : Dan Henderson "

My sentiments exactly.

Henderson is legend, he is the Pride Welterweight and Middleweight Champion at the same time now.

although I got the way and rounds wrong I was 5 for 5 even picking the chump CC to lose.

Give it up boys:happy :happy :happy

[ajc1984]

To be fair, picking Kongo to win in the 4th round of a 3 round fight was never likely to be entirely correct.
