UFC 160 predictions

Cain Velasquez (c) vs. Antonio Silva

This fight will go in a similar style to the first fight, but not as quick. Cain Velasquez will work a lot of takedowns and ground and pound and win a decision or stoppage later in the bout.

Junior dos Santos vs. Mark Hunt

Junior will strike a bit with Hunt, which will be fun, but in the end he will go for takedowns and finish the fight on the ground.   

Glover Teixeira vs. James Te-Huna

Glover is soon to be a contender for the belt at 205. Teixeira will knock out Te-Huna in a very exciting fight.    

Gray Maynard vs. TJ Grant

Grant is a win away from getting a chance to become the next Canadian UFC champ. Maynard also is a win away from fighting Ben Henderson and getting another title shot. Maynard's wrestling is too good, he wins by takedowns and good strikes, earns  a decision.   

Donald Cerrone vs. KJ Noons

Great fight, but it's the kicks of Cerrone which will be the decisive factor in earning him  a decision. Good fight.

Mayweather vs. Guerrero - Live Press Conference

Chael Sonnen Calls Out Wanderlei Silva

Chael Sonnen wants Wanderlei Silva next. His takedowns will win him this fight, but he has to watch out for that ferocious striking and heart of Wanderlei.

Jake Ellenberger not sold on Rory MacDonald, doesn't think he's Top 10 yet

Rory MacDonald is considered by many as the future of 170 in the UFC, but his opponent at UFC on Fox 8, Jake Ellenberger, isn't sold on him yet. He doesn't put him in the top 10 at welterweight, citing that the only guy that MacDonald fought at 170 defeated him; that man being Carlos Condit.

Chris Weidman ready to shock the world against Anderson Silva

Chris Weidman answers questions from fans about his July 6th matchup at UFC 162 against Anderson Silva. If Weidman gets the fight to the floor he can win, but on the feet Silva has a huge advantage.

Ronda Rousey gives a preview of TUF

This season of The Ultimate Fighter, which is co-ed, has the potential to be the greatest ever. People are scared it will become like Jersey Shore, but that'd be very funny and interesting to watch.

New top 5 pound for pound fighters in MMA

1. Jon Jones

Anderson Silva is well-regarded as the greatest of all time, but if he were to fight Jon Jones, I think Jones would take that fight. He will use his reach to keep away from harm, get takedowns, and land strong ground and pound. Silva is very hard to finish, but a decision for Jones is very possible. We may have a chance to see this fight if Silva defeats Chris Weidman.

2. Anderson Silva

An unbelievable 16 and 0 in the UFC with an astounding 10 title defenses. Anderson Silva has pulled off the unimaginable so many times in the cage.

3. Georges St-Pierre

Two time UFC welterweight champion with 8 defenses of his title. GSP is the greatest welterweight of all time.

4. Jose Aldo

Aldo has been untouchable at 145. He has won 15 in a row and hasn't lost since 2005. However he has a very tough test in Anthony Pettis coming up. I actually think Pettis will win that fight and jump into the top five, but only time will tell.

5. Ben Henderson

The best 155er in the game right now, Ben Henderson finds ways to get the W every single time in the UFC Octagon. In eight months he has defended the UFC lightweight title three times.
