UFC 89 BISPING vs LEBEN - Predictions

The wait is over, here are my UFC 89 predictions!

Michael Bisping Vs. Chris Leben

Name:	Michael Bisping
Height:	6' 2" (188 cm)
Weight:	185 (84 kg)
Record:	17-1-0

"The Count"

Name:	Chris Leben
Height:	5' 11" (180 cm)
Weight:	185 (84 kg)
Record:	18-4-0

"The Crippler"

I think Bisping is in for a wake-up call in this one. Chris leben is a banger who is looking knock Bisping out, even if he has to absorb a few hail makers in the process.

"The Crippler" wins via KO in round 2

Keith Jardine Vs. Brandon Vera

Name:	Keith Jardine
Height:	6' 2" (188 cm)
Weight:	205 (93 kg)
Record:	13-5-1

"The Dean of Mean"

Name:	Brandon Vera
Height:	6' 2" (188 cm)
Weight:	205 (93 kg)
Record:	9-2-0

"The Truth"

This is a real intriguing match up. Jardine has a lot of trouble with fighters that rush in on him. Vera isn't that kind of fighter. I look for Jardine to win a standup battle.

Jardine wins via unanimous decision

Rameau Sokoudjou Vs. Luiz Cane

Name:	Rameau Sokoudjou
Height:	6' 0" (183 cm)
Weight:	205 (93 kg)
Record:	5-2-0

"The African Assassin"

Name:	Luiz Cane
Height:	6' 2" (188 cm)
Weight:	205 (93 kg)
Record:	9-1-1

"Banha"

Wich Sokoudjou shows up for this fight? The one that got his ass handed to him by Lyoto Machida, or the one who looked dominate against Kazuhiro Nakamura. I think the Machida fight opened Sokoudjou eyes.

"The African Assassin" wins via TKO in round 1

Paul Taylor Vs. Chris Lytle

Name:	Paul Taylor
Height:	6' 0" (183 cm)
Weight:	170 (77 kg)
Record:	9-3-1

"Relentless"

Name:	Chris Lytle
Height:	5' 11" (180 cm)
Weight:	170 (77 kg)
Record:	35-16-4

"Lights Out"

Both of these fighters like to come out fast and furious. This will probably get fight of the night even though it might not last long.

"Lights Out" wins via TKO late round 1

Paul Kelly Vs. Marcus Davis
