Its like hes fighting an endless stream of David Terrells

Not five seconds goes by in any Kenny Florian fight where Keith isnt screaming at the top of his lungs. And its always something painfully obvious, like GET AN UNDAH-HOOK! or DONT TAKE SHOTS TO THE HEAD! Against Penn, Keith should have just screamed BECOME A DIFFERENT FIGHT-AH! Hes like Phil Baroni after ten Johnny Vegases. This is quite the clash of styles. Its like putting George Clinton next to Eric Clapton: the Wild Man and the Drab Master of Technique. Who would YOU root for Of course, rooting has nothing to do with the way this fight is going to go. Clay will score takedown after takedown before getting overzealous with his ground and pound and falling into yet another submission loss that will probably make me lose faith in society. Wait, what am I saying I have literally changed my mind since I started writing this.

Guida threw Josh Thomson around like a rag doll for five rounds, and Thomson is a much better wrestler than Florian. And since we know that Guida will always come forward, hes going to bully his way to a decision here. Youre damn right I just changed my mind. Frank Mir (12-4, 10-4 UFC) vs. Cheick Kongo (14-5-1, 7-3 UFC) Ah yes, its the old striker vs grappler matchup. You already know what this fight comes down to, so I dont even need to say it. Wait, I need to say it OK well Kongo needs to keep it on the feet Mir needs to take it to the ground.

Kongo has superb kicks and always seems to use every inch of his 64 frame to his advantage Hes good in the clinch. His punches are somewhat awkward, but he isnt exactly fighting Badr Hari here. While Mirs stand-up has clearly improved over the years (if you dont believe me, watch his second fight with Wes Sims sometime I kept having to pinch myself to make sure I wasnt at the Double Duece), make no mistake about it, he needs a takedown, and one of Kongos limbs to take home with him. I guess the deeper question is, can Mir hold Kongo down He isnt known for his takedowns, only what he does once he has you there. And Kongos grappling has gotten a little better, but he can't afford to take another 236 shots to the head and expect to win a decision. This fight is truly 50/50 to me. Its one of those fights where youll be able to tell right away which guy has it. Im going to say that Mir has it and armbars Kongo from the guard midway through the first round. Mike Pierce (10-2, 1-0 UFC) vs.

Its like hes fighting an endless stream of David Terrells. So I cant really kill the UFC here for putting this matchup together. But, let there be no doubt, Pierces chances in this fight are slim Very slim. Like, Nicole Richie slim. Mike Pierces lone UFC bout was a one sided blanketing (is that a word) of Brock Larson, who proved in his last fight that his prime has been over for about a year and a half Pierce has great takedowns, great top control, and . Yeah, thats about it. They have similar stifling styles, but you wouldnt exactly say they were mirror images of each other; Pierce is basically the homeless mans Fitch, or in other words, Billy Baldwin to Fitchs Alec. This is Fitchs fight to lose.
