Nate Diaz Vs. Melvin Guillard |
||||||||||||||||||||||
|
 |
 |
|
 "The Young Assassin" |
||||||||||||||||||
|
Charles Walker- I just think Nate is overall more skilled than Guillard. Do I think Guillard could catch him on the feet, absolutely, but the Diaz brothers have shown to be very resilient when fighting and I think Nate can weather the storm in route to a first round submission, some type of choke btw.
Rich Wyatt-Lankiness rules the day. Diaz over Guillard by 2nd round submission Kelvin Hunt-I don't know why, but I'm itching to pick Guillard in this one. He's improved his game, and I think he has the tools to win this fight. Not to mention that Diaz had trouble making weight....but for some odd reason I think Guillard will somehow fall into a submission. |
||||||||||||||||||||||
|
Gray Maynard Vs. Roger Huerta |
||||||||||||||||||||||
|
 "The Bully" |
|
|
 "El Matador" |
||||||||||||||||||
|
Charles Walker-If Maynard wasn't so big and wasn't such a good wrestler, I'd probably lean towards Huerta, but the long layoff and the fact he's facing a guy similar to Guida (who was winning their fight). Maynard will 'bully' Huerta around for three rounds and win a sound unanimous decision.
Rich Wyatt-Maynard executes a nice gameplan in this one. Maynard by decision Kelvin Hunt-I like Huerta, the guy has skills and madd heart, but the year long lay off plus the strength/wrestling ability of Maynard will be too much. Maynard via decision. |
||||||||||||||||||||||
|
Carlos Condit Vs. Jake Ellenberger |
||||||||||||||||||||||
|
 "Natural Born Killer" |
|
|
 |
||||||||||||||||||
|
Charles Walker- I'll be honest, I know nothing about Ellenberger, so of course I'm going to pick Condit, who should be thanking his lucky stars he didn't have to face Lytle, who I may have leaned towards. I see this being a KO/TKO early in the fight. Rich Wyatt-Condit defeats Ellenberger by submission in the 3rd round.
Kelvin Hunt-I think Condit will be too much for Ellenberger, but Ellenberger will put up a good fight. Condit via decision. |
||||||||||||||||||||||
|
Nate Quarry Vs. Tim Credeur |
||||||||||||||||||||||
|
 "Rock" |
|
|
 "Crazy" |
||||||||||||||||||
|
Charles Walker-Credeur's had a good run, but it's about to come to an end. Quarry's stand up should suffice against Credeur's weird style and I think he'll probably end it late in the fight but it'll be a worn down Credeur facing the mat Rich Wyatt-Nate Quarry defeats Tim Credeur by decision Kelvin Hunt-If Quarry's last fight was any indicator, he should be able to win this fight. Jason MacDonald is a big middleweight and Nate Quarry just ran through him. Quarry via TKO in Rd. 2 |

UFC Fight Night 19: Diaz vs. Guillard coverage
|
Steve Cantwell Vs. Brian Stann |
||||||||||||||||||||||
|
 "Robot" |
|
|
 "All American" |
||||||||||||||||||
|
Charles Walker-You know Stann is the future of the light heavyweight division and one win away from a title shot(lots of sarcasm). With that said, Cantwell showed tremendous heart and skill against Luiz Cane, so I see this ending similar to their second fight in WEC and Stann goes down sometime in the second round. Rich Wyatt-Cantwell defeats Stann by decision Kelvin Hunt-Cantwell has already smoked Stann once, and I think he's improved a lot more than Stann since that time. I think Cantwell stops the "All American" in the first round via TKO. |
||||||||||||||||||||||
|
Chris Wilson Vs. Mike Pyle |
||||||||||||||||||||||
|
 "The Professor" |
|
|
 "Quicksand" |
||||||||||||||||||
|
Charles Walker-This is a toss up, I picked Wilson for some reason...via decision Rich Wyatt-Wilson defeats Pyle by TKO in the 3rd Kelvin Hunt-Chris Wilson is tough as nails, as well as Mike Pyle. This is a tough one to call, but I'm going to go with Chris Wilson via hard fought decision. |
||||||||||||||||||||||
|
CB Dollaway Vs. Jay Silva |
||||||||||||||||||||||
|
 "The Doberman" |
|
|
|
||||||||||||||||||
|
Charles Walker-Dollaway by submission early Rich Wyatt-Silva defeats Dollaway by TKO in the 3rd Kelvin Hunt-I don't know much about Silva, but it seems as though he likes to finish his opponents. Dollaway will probably play it safe and take the decision win. |
||||||||||||||||||||||
|
Sam Stout Vs. Phillipe Nover |
||||||||||||||||||||||
|
 "Hands of Stone" |
|
|
 "The Filipino Assassin" |
||||||||||||||||||
|
Charles Walker- I want Nover to win and I want to pick him but Stout is a dangerous opponent, a little one dimensional but he's good at that one dimension..lol...so with that said, I think Nover might actually pull this one off in a war and get a split decision.
Rich Wyatt-Nover defeats Stout by TKO in the 2nd. Kelvin Hunt-Stout probalby has the edge striking, but Nover is more well rounded. I think Nover will finally get that first UFC win via Submission in the 2nd round. |
||||||||||||||||||||||
|
Jeremy Stephens Vs. Justin Buchholz |
||||||||||||||||||||||
|
 "Lil' Heathen" |
|
|
 |
||||||||||||||||||
|
Charles Walker-I got Jeremy Stephens by Mortal Kombat uppercut Rich Wyatt-Stephens defeats Buchholz by decision Kelvin Hunt-I think Stephens stops Buchholz via TKO in the 2nd round. |
||||||||||||||||||||||
|
Brock Larson Vs. Mike Pierce |
||||||||||||||||||||||
|
 |
|
|
 |
||||||||||||||||||
|
Charles Walker-Larson via KO round 1
Rich Wyatt-Larson defeats Pierce by decision Kelvin Hunt-Brock Larson uses his strength and wrestling to grind out a decision win. |
||||||||||||||||||||||

|
|
 "The Hooligan" |

Charles Walker-Jensen via decision Rich Wyatt-Jensen defeats Steinbeiss by subsmission in the 2nd Kelvin Hunt-I'm roll with Steinbeiss via decision. |

I haven’t/won’t bet on this card because I can’t find a single underdog that I like. Those damn odds makers are becoming too damn crafty =/
Bloody hell.
Justin Buchholz is a fantastic underdog @ +210 He trains with Faber and Jeremy Stephens just throws looping punches. Buchholz Should be able to do what Lauzon did and take him down over and over agian for the DEC victory

Come on Lytle style is to throw looping puches over and over agian Condit would time the punches and take him down all night. Or if he wanted to just throw stright punches to counter Lytle
I can’t help but notice that Bishop is absent from this.. maybe y’all should take him off of staff and put me on ;)
