Crazy Dragon

With UFC 98 roughly 10 days away excitement is building and MMA fight fans are betting much more than they had been two or three years ago. Here's a look, parentheses are odds ranges from the various sites listed at BestFightOdds.com:



Crazy Dragon Predictions:


Lyoto Machida (-220 to -205) vs. Rashad Evans (+180 to +165): This matchup will prove to be one of the best we'll see in the Light Heavyweight Division this year! I'm pumped up about this one. My pick is MACHIDA wins in round 3! Both fighters have the goods but I'm just not an Evans Fan and Machida's elusiveness will prove to be frustrating I think for Evans. I believe Evans will step away from his game plan and make mistakes that will cause him to loose.





Matt Hughes (-260 to -250) vs. Matt Serra (+220 to +190): Okay we know these two guys can't stand one another and this will be an exciting fight. My prediction is Hughes in round 2!





Frankie Edgar (+240 to +190) vs. Sean Sherk (-280 to -265): Sean Sherk all the way! Hands down no more to say! Just too much for Frankie.



Dave Kaplan (+120 to +110) vs. George Roop (-140 to -150): You 'member these two from Ultimate Fighter 8 - Two fighters decent skills but I'm going with the slight underdog as Kaplan should squeeze out a 3 round decision on this one over Roop.



Kyle Bradley (+290 to +280) vs. Phillipe Nover (-350 to -365): I'm not really excited about this fight but if I had to choose I'd go with Nover to submitt Bradley in the 2nd round.



Brandon Wolff (+365 to +350) vs. Yoshiyuki Yoshida (-460 to -550): Crazy Dragon says Yoshida wins in round numero uno!



Pat Barry (-300 to -350) vs. Tim Hague (+250 to +225): Who cares? I don't!



Brock Larson (+120) vs. Chris Wilson (-167): Yawn! Go get some food and time to hit the restroom.



Drew McFedries (-227) vs. Xavier Foupa-Pokam (+157): Okay, here we go! McFedries is always game and I like him as the favorite as he's a shoe in to win. McFedries will knock out Foupa-Pokam in Round 3!



Andre Gusmao (-118) vs. Krzysztof Soszynski (-118): I don't know, this one may be a hidden gem! Two tough 205'ers. I have to give the edge to Gusmao to pull out a decision here.
