UFC 154 is on Saturday, and thankfully it starts at night time in the Western hemisphere (Best hemisphere). Here are the fights and what I think about them!
Preliminary Card - Facebook
Featherweight - Steven "Super" Siler vs. Darren "The Damage" Elkins
- Siler's Style - Grappling
- Other Siler Nickname - Steven "The Miller Killer" Siler
- Elkins's Style - Wrestling
- Prediction - Elkins is going to do so many wrestles to Siler and win by decision
- Thoughts - After checking out Siler's record, I'm convinced something called "Olly Bradstreet" is some kind of nightmare monster for him.
Bantamweight - Ivan "The Pride of El Salvador" Menjivar vs. Azamat "Tough Guy" Gashimov
- Menjivar's Style - Striking, BJJ
- Gashimov's Style - Wrestling
- Prediction - Menjivar is going to submit the heck outta Gashimov
- Thoughts - I don't know anything about Gashimov, but Menjivar is really cool, so he should win everything.
Welterweight - Matt "Deep Waters" Riddle vs. John "The One" Maguire
- Riddle's Style - Wrestling, BJJ
- Maguire's Style - Submissions, Gypsy Jiu-Jitsu
- Prediction - I think Maguire is going to submit Riddle.
- Thoughts - I'm slowly starting to like Riddle as a fighter (And he always seemed like a decent enough person, but I'm liking that more, too), but being a "Gypsy Jiu-Jitsu" practicioner is too rad to pass up. Also, I wonder if Riddle will test positive for weed for this fight!
Featherweight - Antonio "Pato" Carvahlo vs. Rodrigo Damm
- Carvahlo's Style - Striking, BJJ
- Damm's Style - Wrestling, BJJ
- Prediction - Carvahlo wins with a TKO
- Thoughts - Carvahlo has never lost in Canada, so, scientifically, he will win this fight. Damm's sister, Carina also fights and has the weird nickname of "Beauty But the Beast".
