Here were my predictions for UFC 121 that aired Oct. 23rd. My picks are in BOLD:
UFC Heavyweight Championship:
Brock Lesnar (264) vs. Cain Velasquez (244)
Jake Shields (170.5) vs. Martin Kampmann (170)
Tito Ortiz (206) vs. Matt Hamill (203.5)
Brendan Schaub (239) vs. Gabriel Gonzaga (254)
Paulo Thiago (170.5) vs. Diego Sanchez (170.5)
Court McGee (184.5) vs. Ryan Jensen (185)
Patrick Cote (185) vs. Tom Lawlor (185)
Sam Stout (155.5) vs. Paul Taylor (155)
Gilbert Yvel (249) vs. Jon Madsen (254.5)
HERE IS WHO ACTUALLY WON, MY PICKS ARE STILL IN BOLD:
UFC Heavyweight Championship:
Cain Velasquez def. Brock Lesnar (Velasquez is NEW CHAMP!)
Jake Shields def. Martin Kampmann (BTW, he barely defeated him)
Matt Hamill def. Tito Ortiz
Brendan Schaub def. Gabriel Gonzaga
Diego Sanchez def. Paulo Thiago
Court McGee def. Ryan Jensen
Tom Lawlor def. Patrick Cote
Sam Stout def. Paul Taylor
Jon Madsen def. Gilbert Yvel
So this time around I picked 7 correctly and missed two. I took a gamble and tried to predict some of the prelims of fighters who I haven’t seen fight in a long time. If I stuck to the main card, I would have been perfect.
