Posts with the tag "Keith Jardine"

Here are my predictions for UFC 96. Although I did pretty well in my UFC 95 predictions, I must say I don't feel as confident in these predictions. I suspect that this means that the fighters are to inconsistent to predict winners.

Upset special - Shane Carwin over Gabriel Gonzaga
Lock pick - Brandon Vera over Michael Patt

OK, so the fight is only a few hours away and I haven't weighed in with my opinion. I was a little surprised to see most of the experts picking Keith Jardine to defeat Wanderlei Silva. Now I know Jardine was able to defeat Liddell while Silva lost to him, but still I have a feeling that Silva will win this fight.

The only point I can stand on is this. Jardine lost to Houston Alexander who is a very explosive fighter. Sound familiar? Wanderlei Silva is also an explosive fighter, so I expect him to have the same success against Jardine. I think Silva wins the fight via early round knockout.
