As usual, when I make my UFC picks, I am lucky to hit 50%.  Keep your day job is probably another thought that crosses one's mind.  Maybe it's a good thing no one reads this portion of my blog.  My hope is that there are some MMA fans with a need for Super Jumbo Mortgages in New York State or Staten Island, or want to peruse my Recent Blogs about Bi-Weekly Mortgages. Well it's time to review my recent picks and look at the real outcomes in italics, with the original picks first:

Main Event: Patrick Cote vs. Anderson Silva 185lb. Title.  Can Cote shock the world?  Considering Cote has losses to 2 previous victims of Anderson Silva, I think not.  Silva via TKO, Rd. 1.  Actual outcome: Silva TKO Rd. 3, due to a knee injury to Cote. I thought Cote really showed his mettle, but regardless of the injury had little for Silva except a great chin and heavy hands.

Josh Koschek vs. Thiago Alves, 170 lb. Bout.  For some reason I dislike guys(like Alves) who don't make weight.  I think Kos surprises and wins this one by KO in Round 1, faking a shot and throwing a power right hand. Alves via decision, 3 rds. Alves shows why he cuts so much weight: he nullified Kos's takedown attempts and destroyed Kos's legs with his muay thai skills. Kos was hurt in every round and showed tremendous heart.

Gray Maynard vs. Rich Clementi., 155 lb. Bout.  Maynard may be one of the toughest guys to have a tramp stamp.  Maynard grinds out a decision victory over a game Clementi, who just misses the chance at several subs. Well, this actually went as I predicted: Maynard by Decision.

Fabrcia Werdum vs. Dos Santos, Heavyweight Bout.  Werdum earns the right to challenge for a title with a sub in Rd. 2.    Dos Santos TKO, Rd. 1.  Werdum came in fat-256lbs when he has fought in the 230's previously.  Dos Santo trains with Anderson Silva, and it showed.

Sean Sherk vs. Tyson Griffin, 155 lb. bout.  Upset of the night.  Griffin drops Sherk with a well timed knee in the second rd, and follows up with a TKO victory. Sherk 3 rd Decision.  Sherk is a tough dude and grinded out a victory on sheer toughness, conditioning, and will over a game Tyson Griffin.

Watch a great undercard bout: look up the Dan Miller vs. Matt Horwich bout.
