UFC on Fox: Henderson vs. Thomson Predictions
By: The Shaman of Sexxxy Abel Carv
Tonight's fight card is the 10th in the UFC on Fox series and is featuring a lightweight bout between Benson Henderson and Josh Thomson. The main card has four fights scheduled and is coming from the United Center in Chicago, Illinois. Truly this will be an action-packed card.
Darren Elkins vs Jeremy Stephens
Darren "the Damage" Elkins vs Jeremy "lil Heathen" Stephens is a featherweight fight. Darren is a 7-3 fighter, fighting out of Hobart, Indiana. He comes from an amateur wrestling background but is adequately versed in submission. Jeremy is a 22-9, fighter out of San Diego, California. Like Elkins, Stephens came from an amateur wrestling background. Look for both fighters to fall back on their wrestling backgrounds. I predict that Stephen's experience will prove overwhelming and he will get the win.
Donald Cerrone vs Adriano Martins
Donald "Cowboy" Cerrone vs Adriano Martins is a lightweight fight. Donald is 21-6-1 and fights out of Albuquerque, New Mexico. Donald is a kickboxer and Muay Thai fighter but has several submission wins under his belt. Adriano is a 25-6 mixed martial artist fighting out of Brazil. He has heavy knockout power, but is still able to get the job done on the ground. Look for both fighters to try to keep the fight standing up and to exchange some heavy shots. I predict that Cerrone will ultimately pick up the win, possibly on the ground.
Stipe Miocic vs Gabriel Gonzaga
Stipe Miocic vs Gabriel "Napão" Gonzaga is a heavyweight fight. Stipe is a 10-1 Croatian-American boxer and wrestler fighting out of Euclid, Ohio. Being able to both dominate opponent's at standup and on the ground, Stipe is a dangerous fighter. Gabriel is a 16-7 BJJ fighter fighting out of Ludlow, Massachusetts. He hold his black belt in BJJ, but has several of his wins by knockout. Look for these fighters to trade heavy shots on the ground and display technical prowess on the ground. I predict that Gabriel will get a win via submission in the end.
Benson Henderson vs Josh Thomson
Benson "Smooth" "Bendo" Henderson vs Josh "The Punk" Thomson is a lightweight fight and the main event of the evening. Benson is a 19-3 BJJ fighter, wrestler, and taekwondo fighter as well as a former UFC Lightweight Champion and WEC Lightweight Champion fighting out of Glendale, Arizona. Josh is a 20-5-1 kick boxer and jiu-jitsu fighter fighting out of San Jose, California. he is also a former Strikeforce Lightweight Champion. Look for this fight to go to the ground several time and for a winner to win via submission. My prediction for this fight is for Josh to get the upset victory.
