Comments on: Gray D.’s picks and predictions for UFC 98: “Evans vs. Machida” http://6th-round.com/gray-ds-picks-and-predictions-for-ufc-98-evans-vs-machida Fri, 18 May 2012 07:39:46 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=abc By: Gray D. http://6th-round.com/gray-ds-picks-and-predictions-for-ufc-98-evans-vs-machida#comment-282 Gray D.

I have Machida winning the fight due to his superior ability to intellectually adjust his power and movement during a match. Rashad is a huge test and could certainly retain the belt, but Lyoto has all the skills to snare the strap Sat. night. Hughes has been training with Sherk at the MMAA/API camp and those Caveman workouts will have boosted his cardio. On the other hand, Serra certainly wants to shut up Hughes and it'll come down to who can maintain aggression until the finish. Great night of fights this weekend! Erika, you bring up good points.

Really??? I think the only way that that is going to happen is if Machida can control Evans on the ground. I don't think that's going to happen. AT.ALL. Unless his stand-up has gotten TREMENDOUSLY better, I don't think Machida has a chance against Evans. Having said that, though, I would LOVE to see Evans go down! He is an awesome fighter, but his just to damn cocky!! He NEEDS to come down a notch!! Matt Hughes vs. Matt Serra, Hughes all the way, although I don't think Hughes will let it go to decision. He should be all fired up for this fight, after missing the opportunity to get the Welterweight title back during that incredibly brief moment that Serra had the belt due to Serra's injury. Hughes finally gets to attempt shut up the loudmouth Serra. I don't think he is going to take that lightly. Machida winning??? Really???
