Default Yaozas Ultimate Fight Night Picks

UFC Ultimate Fight Night

Rashad Evans vs Sam Hoger
Record: 6-0 Record: 6-1

Pick: Rashad Evans
Rashad Evans was a strong fighter has a Heavyweight vs Brad Imes and now he's dropped down to a better weight for him at 205 and now fighting in the Light Heavyweight division. Sam Hogar was the much hated fight on the Ultimate Fighter Season 1 and got his first loss against Stephan Bonnar. Hoger is big for a Light Heavyweight but I don't think he's the power to take out Rashad Evans. Evans will over power Hoger and will end up the victor.


Luke Cummo vs Jason Von Flue
Record: 3-3 Record: 11-4-1

Pick: Luke Cummo
Luke Cummo was the biggest underdog on TUF Season 2 but made it to the finally to lose to Joe Stevenson. Cummo also has a loss to Josh Koscheck by decision and all 3 of his losses have been due to a decision. Jason "The Live Wire" Von Flue is what his nickname says, a live wire. Von Flue had a bunch of wins over no named fighters and most recently has a win over Alex Karalexis but Von Flue lost both rounds before getting Karalexis in a shoulder lcok choke. If Luke Cummo can keep this fight from a decision then he should have good chances of winning.


Josh Burkman vs John Fitch
Record: 6-2 Record: 9-2

Pick: Josh Burkman
Josh Burkman is a very underrated fighter, I my self had underrated him until he fought Drew Fickett and beat him on UFN 3 by Guillotine Choke. He also has win over Sam Morgan by KO (Slam) at UFC Ultimate Fighter Finally Season 2. John Fitch a notable loss to prospect Mike Pyle and notable win over Shonie Carter. Burkman by knockout or submission, he's an up-and-comer in the Welterweight division.


Joe Stevenson vs Josh Neer
Record: 24-5 Recod: 16-3-1

Pick: Joe Stevenson
Joe "Daddy" Stevenson has notable wins over Edwin Dewees, Jeremy Jackson and Luke Cummo. He's a great wrestler that can win on the ground by Submission or just knock you senseless. Josh "The Dentist" Neer's 3 losses are to top named fighters such as Spencer Fisher, Drew Fickett, and Nick Thompson. Josh Neer has a recent win over Melvin Guillard by suffered a bad cup and if he didn't Submit Guillard he would most likely ended up losing the fight.


Stephan Bonnar vs Keith Jardine
Record: 8-2 Record: 10-1-1

Pick: Keith Jardine
Stephan Bonnar is big for a Light Heavyweight but Keith Jardine is a Heavyweight moving down to Light Heavyweight. This is a great fight, should be the main event if not on a Pay-Per-View. Hard to choose, both guys know the skill of submission and both known how to through down. Bonnar's losses have come to some of the best fighters in MMA such as Forrest Griffin and Ryoto Machida. Bonnar is also coming off wins over Sam Hoger and James "Sandman" Irvine. Keith Jardine is coming off a big win over huge Mike Whitehead at UFC 57 and traded shots with Rashad Evans in the TUF Season 2 Heavyweight Semi-finals. Jardine might wanna take it to the ground since no one really has seen Bonnar's ground game.


Josh Koscheck vs Ansar Chalangov
Record: 4-1 Record: 7-1

Pick: Josh Koscheck
Josh Koscheck's only loss in MMA is to Drew Fickett at UFN 2. But he holds wins over Pete Spratt, Chris Stanford, and Luke Cummo. Asnar Chalangov's only MMA loss was at UFC 56 against Thiago Alves, but has wins over Dave Strasser and Dennis "Superman" Hallman. I think that Koscheck will take Chalangov down and either try to ground and pound him or submit him.


Chris Leben vs Luigi Fioravanti
Record: 14-1 Record: 6-0

Pick: Chris Leben
Chris "The Crippler" Leben has only 1 loss to JOe Doerksen by decision but has big wins over big names like "Quick" Mike Swick, Patrick "The Predator" Cote, Edwin "Baby Face" Dewees, and Jorge "El Conquistador " Rivera. Luigi Fioarvanti might be undefeated but has wins over overrated fighters. Watch, wait and listen for Leben to knock out Fioravanti.


Trevor Prangley vs. Chael Sonnen
Record: 11-3 Record: 13-7

Pick: Trevor Prangley
Both have losses to Renato "Babalu" Sobral and Jeremy Horn. But Prangley already holds a win over Sonnen by submission. Chael Sonnen has fought big name fighters like Jason Miller, Trevor Prangley, Forrest Griffin, Jeremy Horn (twice), Terry Martin, Renato Sobral, and lost to all of them. He just cant put them away.



Brad Imes vs Gabriel Gonzaga
Record: 3-1 Record: 5-1

Pick: Brad Imes
Gabriel Gonzaga most recently had an unimpressive win over Kevin Jordan and looks like he cant strike for nothing. Brad Imes just has to keep the fight on there feet and exchange punches. Imes has proved to show that he has a great chin and KO is on his mind.

It should be a great night of fighting, a lot of fights I see going either way. Why they have Chris Leben fighting Luigi Fioravanti is beyond me, chris is ready to step up in competition.Chris is definately my best bet pick of the night. Does anyone know what the main event is though? I don't see any clear cut one.

Nice post..I agree with you on all the fights except for Bonnar vs. Jardine. imo I think Bonnar will win. He has shown some ground skills against James Irvin (kimura) and Swick in TUF1 (armbar) and everyone knows he has a good chin. Like you said it will be a great fight.

i cannot believe that Jason Von Flue made it to the UFC. i have seen his fights from events like KOTC and the IFC and i thought he was talentless then. even the ring commentators were poking fun at him, one guy says "Jason can't strike but i have'nt seen him on the ground. the other guy replys, "i've seen Jason on the ground and its not much better.".
