If thats the case every fight that has ever took place is entirely luck and since thats not true than what would you say determines the fight I'll tell you what does skill and critical thinking Gomi vs Kawajiri easy to call kawajiri couldn't stand up with that Brazilian and stalled the whole fight and he favor the mount and goes for the G & P his is stance to straight it doesn't allow his punches travel far and he has short arms not as much power. Gomi had him in the stand up and G & P and overall ground work.
Minowa vs Baroni easy all you gotta do is look at any guy from hammer house on his back and you'll see thats there weakness their kicks suck too and they got too much muscle. Minowa took him down and kept him on his back and had plenty of time to work submissions and do a G & P
Bennette vs Mishima easy but I didn't know what Mishima was gonna do I saw him losing if they stood up and slugged it out but any fight with grappler vs striker the grappler wins 9 times out 10. He took Karzy horse down and worked submissions some what easy to call but I would have bet all my points on it.
Mach vs. Jens super easy but I had more faith in gomi and minowa and Mach is a tad cocky and it could have cost him if he hadn't takin jens lead leg from him. See jens boxes and in my opinion boxing has no place in MMA see boxing you use your hands and the power comes from the feet and body torque and the arms their stnace leaves them open to takedowns and kicks kick a boxer in the leg thats all you gotta do after that rush them cuase you took away one leg and they can't throw power anymore. Mach almost lost cause he was dropping his hands.
I don't see how you can't predict fights all you have to do is look at everyfighter to the fullest degree with no favorites and pick a winner
see a smart fighter will get in there and stick to a plan and think the whole fight a dumb will say its up to fate or something like that. Fighting is like a war careful planning and proper execution will get a win and one mistake can cost you everything. Some fights are to close to call and you don't have enough info and you should stay away from those Yves vs Hansen was hard for me cause I never seen hansen fight outside the one fight at bushido 8 I saw or another reason would be sucky odds. I never said Kotani sucked I said they did him bogus putting him in there with the best of the best
I play alot of war games command and conquer, star craft, rise of nations, civiliztion, stronghold, the romance series, and whole bunch of other crap. they simulate war and stadegy I been playing them since I was little General Chaos for sega got me all into that. Stadegy is very important and being able to analyze is also important there was this one guy who was commentating with bas and Maurro at this one fight and at the begiining he did a prediction he did a way better job than me and said if this happens it will go to decision and if it doesn't one guy will work his armbar till he gets it and it will most likely be in the second he went into why it would be the second I forgot what he said. next thing you know armbar in the second just like he said. Bas calls stuff to all the time
If skill doesn't determine the fight whats the point of training you won't know what will happen but you can do like him and say if this starts to happen then he'll do this and so on you get what I mean and I was talking the same way before the event
