UFC on FOX 20: Holm vs. Shevchenko Fight Predictions

The UFC invades The Second City this weekend with former women's bantamweight champion Holly Holm taking on striker Valentina Shevchenko.  I'm writing this as I watch the Republican National Convention.  Why is that relevant to these fight picks?  Let me explain.  On the first day of the convention UFC president yelled into a mic and shouted nonsense of Trump being a fighter and how he's his buddy (there's the MMA connection) and then that made me remember an article I read that Holm is supported Trump as well.  That makes me sad.  Here are some picks

UFC: 196 McGregor vs Diaz Picks and Predictions

UFC 196: McGregor vs Diaz, aka UFC 196: WTF, is almost upon us. A few weeks ago we thought we were getting a champion vs champion superfight between Jose Aldo and Anthony Pet... I mean Conor McGregor and Rafael Dos Anjos. Red panties sales were about to go through the roof. But like all Brazilians who are about to face Conor, injuries happen and that fight will have to be shelved for another day. Enter welterweight Nate Diaz. If I have two takeaways from all the media in the build up and hype for this fight, it is that Nate doesn't give a SH*T, and that now that he is a rich person, he is going to buy all kinds of nice sh*t. The war of words has been fun, and I'm not going to deny, Nate seems to be the very first person to get under the skin of Conor with his "everyone is on steroids" statements. It's going to be interesting, and it is definitely going to be fun. Co-headlining the event is The Devourer of Rondas and the perennial runner up. Holly Holm makes her first defense since she shocked the world, and now is her moment to cement her place. One hit wonder? Or hit maker? Find out Saturday night! But until then, read our picks!

Conor McGregor vs Nate Diaz

When Nate decided to test the reaction time of the UFC's bleep button guy not that long ago, while fun, I don't think most of expected it to really come to fruition any time soon. These men weren't really on a collision course based on the tracks they were on at the time. Yet here we are, a boy howdy it IS exactly as fun as any of us could have hoped it would be. The joke was that after taking Dos Anjos belt, Conor would gun for Robbie's, and now we have a welterweight bout that is actually going to tell us something about how he looks at this class. Look, if you are reading this then you know this blog rides with the Diaz brothers. Our love and respect for them is solid. But Conor is something else. We've seen Nate defeated on the feet. He was kicked repeatedly by Josh Thomson and a toothpick dispensing Benson Henderson was thigh punching him all night long. Nate's range and boxing is a tall order for any fighter, but Conor's everything is an ordeal as well. I don't recall when Conor said he'd end it, but he will end it. Conor by KO late R1.

There's only ONE Conor McGregor: Kid P, Gooms, Doc Law

I don't give a SH*T: DJ Mark

UFC 193: Rousey v. Holm Predictions

The queen of mixed martial arts is back and ready to defend her championship. Fresh off of being on the cover of every God damn magazine still in circulation, Ms. Ronda Rousey defends her bantamweight championship against multiple-time (how about 10? Does that sound good to you guys? No? How about 12?) boxing champion Holly Holm in front of 55,000 plus screaming Aussies. We also have another title on the line in the co-main event where Joanna "Champion" Jedrzejczyk defends her UFC strawweight championship against Valérie Létourneau. Check out our predictions below.

UFC Fight Night: Mir vs Duffee Predictions

Right in the middle of a barrage of UFC events we get a some-what unusual mid week card. These cards can vary in quality from fairly good to down right garbage but what we get this Wednesday is actually a fairly decent card. You'll see a little bit of everything on this one, some old veterans, younger prospects and even an interesting women's bantamweight scrap as well.

UFC 184: Rousey vs Zingano Picks

The card for UFC 184 has gone through a number of changes and most of them weren't for the best. While the card we'll see on Saturday isn't bad by any means, it's not what it once was. That being said what we do have is a solid card featuring a number of the best women fighters the UFC has to offer. It'll also be very interesting to see how well this card does focusing more on women's MMA then we've seen recently. Let's not get ahead of ourselves just yet though; first we need to break down what we'll be seeing Saturday night.

Ronda Rousey vs. Cat Zingano

It’s been a long time coming, but finally Ronda will face her long time challenger Cat Zingano. You’d have to be some type zombie cyborg creature to not feel for Cat and all the personal and professional struggles she’s gone through. She has, maybe more so then the others before her, truly earned this title shot. The problem here is that Ronda just seems to be operating on a completely different level then her peers. Every fight she has looked better and better, making it almost impossible to imagine Cat over coming what so many others have failed to do. Factor in that Cat is notorious for starting slow while Ronda actively seeks extremely early finishes and you start to see the writing on the wall. Personally, I really hope Cat can make it out of the first round and really give Ronda a true challenge, but just looking at the fight on paper I think Ronda will be too much. Ronda by armbar round 1.

Picking Rousey: Dr. Law, DJ Mark, Gooms, Kid P
