First proper look at UFC 88. looks like a belter.
Chuck Liddell v Rashad Evans.
was Supposed to be Chuck v Rua a couple of months ago, Rua got injured so Evans stepped in late, but then Chuck got injured in training. Hope and expect to see Chuck destroy Evans before getting a shot at the title in the new year.
Rich Franklin v Matt Hamill.
Bisping comes down from Light heavy and gets McCarthy and Day. Hamill comes down and gets Franklin. He must have REALLY pissed someone off. Having seen Silva make light work of Franklin twice, it's easy to forget how good Franklin is compared top the rest of the middleweights. Franklin Should win easily.
Karo Parisyan v Yoshiyuki Yoshida
As always I'll be hoping Parisyan gets his arrogant ass handed to him, but I don't know enough about Yoshida to back it. He submitted Jon Koppenhaver in his UFC debut but Parisyan is a different league. Hope I'm wrong ut Parisyan win
Dan Henderson v Rousimar Palhares
On paper Palhares is 5" shorter than Henderson. Saying that, I've stood next to Dan Henderson and there's no way in the world he's 6'1". doubt he's more than 5'10". even so, I'd expect a dominant performance from Henderson and a win.
Kampmann v Marquart
what a great sounding fight. going to go for Kampmann, purely because he's on the better run at the minute but this should be a war.
Thiago Tavares to beat Kurt Pellegrino
Tim Boetsch to beat
James Lee (look out for the huge front kicks)
Dong Hyun Kim to beat Matt Brown (over rated in TUF I thought)
Ryo Chonan to beat Roan Carniero
Jason Day Jason MacDonald to beat Jason Lambert Day injured in training, MacDonald is a much better fighter and I'm more confident about this pick
