If Couture thinks UFC 102’s performance is not a disappointment, UFC 105’s probably will be
(No Staph this time, huh?) Ever since his fight with Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira at UFC 102, Randy Couture kept saying that the fight proved he can still fight and that he is not done yet. The fight (like every other Couture fight since the Tim Sylvia fight) really proved that Couture is ageless, still improvig (and has sick submission defense) but it also showed (shockingly) that The Natural actually comes up with bad game plans sometimes (not a single takedown attempt, come… (Full Story)
UFC 99 Predictions
Here at MMAOpinion, we usually do a pre-fight podcast. Unfortunately co-host Josh is away on vacation. That means he wont be around to tell me how terrible my picks are. UFC 99 comes to us all the way from Germany. The under card is not bad, but the main card it topped off with a super fight between Wanderlei Silva and Rich Franklin. Check out my picks after the jump. UFC 99 has a decent under card, but for this prediction I am only going to cover the main card. Kicking off the… (Full Story)

UFC 91: Sizing up the card’s potential accolades
As we draw closer to UFC 91: Couture vs. Lesnar, it’s more than easy to remember what has been talked about the most widespread amongst casual and hardcore MMA fans. Without a question, the topic most mentioned has been whether or not Lesnar deserves this fight and cooperatively why this fight is deemed so huge for the UFC. Don’t worry, I’m not going to touch on that subject anymore. Dropping off the radar and being “dumbed down” so to speak, are the rest of the main card bouts that precede… (Full Story)
Curtis’ UFC 91 Predictions
Things have been crazy of late and I have not been able to join the rest of the crew at MMAOpinion for a podcast. Since I wont be able to make a show I am going to share my predictions here. For the sake of time I am only going to predict the winners of the televised card. Oh yea, by the way I will not be watching this event live! I will be in person watching The Juggernaut Antwain Britt take on C.T. Turner at Old Dominion University. I also want to know what you all think of my picks, leave a… (Full Story)

Sengoku 6: Preview and Picks
The event set is going to be a fun one. The tournament fights promised are going to be good, and we’re going to see some solid fights between some dangerous fighters, including the relatively unknown phenomenon Muhammad Lawal fighting Fabio Silva. Lightheavyweight warrior Takanori Gomi should dismiss Sergey Golyaev farely easily, and if the fight goes past the first round it will be because Gomi undertrained. While Gomi’s submission game is notoriously spotty, hopefully he can pull this one… (Full Story)
