gray d ufc 101 picksWelcome 6th Rounders, to my picks and predictions for UFC 101. “Declaration” will air Saturday night via pay-per-view (in the US) beginning at 10 p.m. EST. This weekend’s UFC event features a lightweight title bout as well as middleweight champ Silva moving up to face former light heavy champ Griffin at 205 lbs. A solid line-up calls for solid picks, right? Whether you agree or disagree, leave your thoughts by commenting.

As a lead writer here, there’s a certain “responsibility” for making quality peeks into the future. That being said, anything can (and does) happen in mixed martial arts. With an overall 107-71 record thus far since our launch, let’s get into how I, Gray D., see the action inside the Octagon going down on August 8 from Philadelphia.
