UFC 100 is arriving soon with much anticipation! The fight I'm most looking forward to is St. Pierre vs. Alves because I like both of these fighters so now it's time to choose one over the other. My fight Prediction looks like this: Honestly, I don’t see Alves being victorious. St. Pierre is too quick and explosive for Alves. Once the fight hits the mat, it will be all St. Pierre, who will punish Alves with top control and ground and pound. I believe St. Pierre will WIN by TKO.
This is the semi-Main Event with these two Welterweights for the title. St. Pierre has been a dominant force, destroying challengers and cementing himself as a strong P4P #1 contender. Alves has also been on a tear recently, scoring a string of upsets and earning himself the top contender’s spot.

Thiago Alves has excellent striking. His punches, kicks, and especially knees from the clinch are completely devastating, as many top welterweight fighters can certainly verify. Recent improvements in his takedown defense may be a hickup for St.Pierre to overcome but only for a moment. If Alves can manage to keep this fight standing, he has a lot more than a puncher’s chance.
St. Pierre has extremely underrated standup and most likely comes in second to Alves. However, he more than makes up for it with his superior athleticism, wrestling, submissions, strength, and cardio. While Alves has the edge standing, St. Pierre has the advantage in pretty much every single other category, including top-level fight experience. Alves’ takedown defense has become formidable, but every single time anyone felt like an opponent could handle St. Pierre’s wrestling, they were proven emphatically wrong. I guess we'll see...
