UFC Silva Vs. Irvin

Once again it is time to leave predictions for the up and coming UFC event.

Dale Hartt vs. Shannon Gugerty

I have never seen either of these 2.  They have both finished all of the fights they won.  I am going to go with Gugerty by submission, because of the experience factor.

James Giboo vs. Brad Blackburn

Brad Blackburn by TKO.  I have never seen James Giboo fight.  So I am going to have to go with the more familiar fighter, and most of his wins come by KO/TKO.

Brodie Farber vs. Rory Markham

I have only seen Brodie fight once in WEC years ago.  So I am going to have to go once again with the more familiar fighter Rory Markham, by TKO since that is how he wins most of his fights. 

Anthony Johnson vs. Kevin Burns

Anthony Johnson by TKO

Hermes Franca vs. Frankie Edgar

Frankie Edgar by Unanimous decision.

Brandon Vera vs. Reese Andy

Brandon Vera by submission.  Vera will drop Andy and get on him working til Andy gives up his back and gets choked out.

Anderson Silva vs. James Irvin

I am going to do it.  I am going to go out on a limb here and call this one for Irvin by knock out/TKO.  Silva is used to fighting smaller guys, and Irvin will hit him with too much power knocking out the still pound for pound king.  Just because you are pound for pound the toughest doesn't mean you should go up a weight class especially 20 pounds that is a lot as far as power goes.

I know I will catch fire for my prediction on the Silva fight, but I just don't think he could be near as dominant against the bigger fighter.
