UFC 140: Jones vs. Machida....PICKS

Okay am a fanatical fight fan so I decided to give the world my fight picks and aftermath of chosen events I know what all you guys really need to know what a 5,8 slightly overweight pasty Scottish guy thinks about this stuff so lets crack on first one.


UFC 140 from  Toronto, Ontario, Canada


Mark Hominick (20-9-0 ) vs. Chan Sung Jung (11-3-0) ....Good chance this is fight of the night two good guys Jung (the Korean Zombie) star of the epic WEC fight with Leonard Garcia straight from a rocky movie Jung lost on points but I feel he got robbed in that fight, So they rematched in the UFC and Jung won Via (the first ever twister in the ufc in round 2) Jung looked really good and made some big improvements. Hominick coming off his title losing effort against Jose Aldo jr was an epic battle and I became a fan due to this fight. He went into the fight an underdog against the almost untouchable Aldo got dropped a few times had some great exchanges him self and suffered a giant Hematoma to bounce back in the final round to dominate  the champ. He lost the fight but showed crazy heart and got himself a ton of new fans....I think Mark Hominick Takes this on points his boxing is crisper than Jung's and he done fine on the ground with the Champ Aldo a think Mark will be confidant after the war with the champ also a factor will be the death of this coach and close friend Shawn Tompkins could drive Mark to a big Win infront of his home crowd...Mark Hominick unanimous decision




Antonio Rogerio Nogueira (19-5) vs. Tito Ortiz (16-9-1) Am looking forward to this one Tito has looked good this year after a few dodgy years finally getting a win against Ryan Bader and a good showing for his 2 weeks notice fight against Rashad Evans even thou he lose lost he fought hard in a fun fight. Lil Nog needs a win too his weakness is the wrestling which Tito has but his Bjj is good and his boxing is excellent he lost to Bader and Davies because of wrestling but his takedown defence was good the first half of the Davies fight I think a little more improvement there Tito doesn't get it to the ground then we'll see a boxing match Tito training with BJ Penn's boxing coach  could help but I think Nogueira gets it done maybe tko but Tito's is hard to finish so I'll go with points again. should be a great fight for the old skool fans Nog from Pride and Tito Early UFC.....Antonio Rogerio Nogueira unanimous decision



Frank Mir (15-5) vs. Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira 2 (33-6-1)  The rematch to the 2008 fight which Mir won easy via tko in round 2 both guys have won and lose after this Mir winning this last 2 showing more improved in the stand up. Big Nog won his last fight by KO after a long lay off. Am a big Nogueira fan I hope he wins the old pride fights where he takes a beating and comes back to win are classics and I was jumping about crazy when he came back from injuries to KO Brendan Schab. But I have Frank Mir by the same result as last time TKO 2nd round I think Mir as improved more in three years hes 20 pounds heavier and moves better in the stand up using angles and crisp combos but Nog has proved us wrong before I would like to see these guys box a bit then see who has the better BJJ this time but anyway...Frank Mir TKO ROUND 2

 Champ Jon Jones vs. Lyoto Machida (for light-heavyweight title) The Main event the former champ Machida gets his shot due to Evans not being Healthy but all these top 10 guys make for main event worthy fights Lyoto like Jones was the unstoppable force just a few years ago untouchable until he fought Shogun he won but nearly everyone said Shogun won so they rematched and Shogun destroyed Lyoto in the first round. Then he lost a close fight to Rampage Jackson after that he came back beating my hero Randy Couture with a crazy crane kick right out of the karate kid. Randy was 48 but Lyoto looked good with footwork and keeping Couture at range But hes fighting Jon Jones the champ on his forth fight this year no one as even came close with this guy yet beating Bader by sub Shogun by beatdown and Jackson by sub all big name guys hes shaping up right now that hes going to be a giant superstar. Both these guys throw crazy kicks, knees ,elbows and trips and good ground game. Can Lyoto win YES at this level anyone can win with those little gloves but will he win I can't see it Lyoto has slick stand up but so does Jones and hes bigger stronger faster his reach is unreal his throws are unreal he gets knock outS and subs he does it all. I hope for a back and forward fight maybe Jones may show some cracks in his game with this being his forth fight this year. I see it a slow start then Jones picking him apart for a tko round 3 its to hard to pick against the guy right now but we'll see.....Jon Jones Tko round 3 

ARE YOU KIDDING ME
THE SHOGUN
