OK Getting ready for Kenny Florian vs. Gray Maynard here we go.

My prediction? I have always liked Florian, but Maynard is tough! I think Maynard is gonna pull this one out! Maynard is also undefeated.

Let’s see…

Round 1 – Both are just feeling each other out.  Who will get the first strike? Florian with a kick… Maynard looking to take him down… Florian working a few kicks to the leg, but both still being careful… Florian lands a nice shot, but Maynard shales it off.  Body shot from Maynard…  Maynard for a take down, but Florian defends nicely…  Take down by Maynard, Florian on his back….  Couple shots from Maynard which he needs to get this round… On too round 2

Round 2 – Both fighters not forcing anything. Maynard wants to go to the ground with this…  Still playing it carefully for both fighters… Maynard is just waiting for the right moment to throw a bomb… Maynard for the take down and gets it… This is what Florian doesnt want!!  Florian against the cage and now on his back… Maynard side control… Florian is bleeding from the eye it looks like…  Maynard throwing punches on the ground and Florian is eating them… 30 seconds left… Hard shot from Florian on his back but this round is going to Maynard! Kenny needs to end it in the 3rd round!

Round 3 – Here we go final round…  Both being cautious again, Florians eye is a bit swollen… Head shot from Florian… Florian is going at Maynard.. Its all he can do… Maynard is being smart and just waiting…. take down from Maynard…  Florian still on his back…  Florian back on his feet ,but maynard takes him down… Florian trying for triangle but no luck… wow Florian oh man gives it up… Maynard is taking this one.. back on there feet and its over Maynard wins!

Maynard def Florian – Unanimous Decision

Title shot for Maynard!

Who is ready for UFC 118? I know I am. I doubt it can top the action at UFC 117, but hey they can try! I will be travelling that Sat, but I hope to be back in time to give the play by play. I have moved the site to a better server, so there should be no issues like I had with UFC 117. What a pain. Anyway’s I hope to bring all you cheap bastards who won’t splurge for PPV the updates of the fights as fast as I can. If your not signed up to get updates then CLICK HERE if you are then your rock. I am also thinking about setting up a bigger live chat room, so we can all chat as the fights are on. We shall see.

Which fights am I really looking forward too? All of them of course, but… if I had to pick a few here they are.

Marcus Davis VS Nate Diaz is gonna be great! I really like Nate Diaz and I think he will win the fight. Davis is tough, but Diaz is such a solid fighter and he is just killing it out there!

Edgar Vs Penn should be a nice battle! For some reason I am not so excited about it thought. Go figure… I think Edgar will pull of the win.

Couture VS Toney, now this is gonna be real fun. I cannot wait for this. This is definitely a ploy to get attention, but so what! Even couture said he was done fighting at the heavy weight level because it takes so much more out of you. Granted he prob wont be rolling on the ground with Tony, but one thing is for sure Toney is gonna hit hard. If Couture can play his game and stay out of Toney’s punches he will win hands down! I am giving this win to Couture. MMA has to show boxing that it is done!
