UFC 102 Picks

MAIN CARD

• Randy Couture vs. Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira
• Keith Jardine vs. Thiago Silva
• Chris Leben vs. Jake Rosholt
• Demian Maia vs. Nate Marquardt
• Krzysztof Soszynski vs. Brandon Vera

PRELIMINARY CARD

• Gabriel Gonzaga vs. Chris Tuchscherer
• Justin McCully vs. Mike Russow
• Todd Duffee vs. Tim Hague
• Nick Catone vs. Mark Munoz
• Marcus Aurelio vs. Evan Dunham
• Ed Herman vs. Aaron Simpson

A long awaited matchup between Randy “The Natural” Couture and Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira will finally happen this saturday.  This is a pretty even matchup so I think I would go with the underdog Nogueira.

Thiago Silva vs Keith Jardine, once again I’ll go with the underdog Silva.  I believe Silva’s last outing was just a bad performance, he should bounce back here.

Chris Leben should be able to get back to his winning ways here. vs Jake Rosholt.

I like Nate “The Great” Marquardt here, but the underdog pick in Demian Maia would also be a decent pick.  Arguably one of the best BJJ practitioners in the UFC today is Maia.  Nate is just really good though.

Krzysztof Soszynski should be able to KO/Submit Vera in this matchup.  Brandon Vera still hasn’t looked good yet since his first few fights at Heavyweight, and looks even worse at light heaveyweight.

For the undercard I would take Gabriel Gonzaga, Mike Russow, Tim Hague, Nick Catone, Marcus Aurelio, Ed Herman
