TUF 20 Finale card predictions!

Well, my prediction of an Esparza vs. Namajunas final match was correct. Wow, I didn't know much about Rose before this TUF season, but I am more than a little impressed. IMMMAO Namajunas is going to walk right through Esparza. I think that Calderwood was the second toughest competitor on the season, and at some point I see a re-match there, so Esparza should be a walk in the park for the Thug. On a side note I was really impressed with Randa Markos. She seems a little sheepish outside the ring, but really turns it on when the bell rings. I am really excited to see this upcoming finale card. it will be interesting to see how everyone fights after having a full training camp with their own teams. So, lets talk predictions for the rest of the card.

JDS Returns

I don't know about anyone else, but IMMMAO JDS seemed damaged more than physically and neurologically after his last bout with Cain. A couple years ago I wouldn't have give Miocic  1 chance in 100 of making it outside of the 2nd round with JDS, but since seeing JDS in his last performance I am not so sure he isn't vulnerable to what should be considered a much less talented striker. He looked so tentative against Velasquez in his last fight, it seemed that his confidence was gone. I honestly hope that he makes a full recovery, and comeback. JDS is the kind of champion the UFC needs. He takes all comers, and wants to finish every match. Cain is great, when he is healthy, which isn't often, so it would be nice to see a champ in the octagon that fights more than once every couple of years, again. Werdum has made a lot of improvements in his game since last fighting JDS, so that would be an interesting re-match. If JDS comes out against Miocic, and does what he is capable of doing, I would love to see JDS vs. Werdum. Opinions?

TUF 20 Finale; A Champion will be Crowned!

I don't think it's much of a stretch to think it is going to be  Carla Esparza and Rose "Thug" Namajunas as the finalists. I am still a little shocked and disappointed that Namajunas submitted Jojo Calderwood. I figured the fight to go about the way it was going, up until the submission. I was thinking that Jojo would get her rhythm in the second, and win it in the third. Rose has proven for certain that she is a handful for anyone, and I look forward to seeing if she can go all the way. IMMMAO that is how I see it playing out, (as from the start I kind of had Jojo picked as the one to win it all), so now I guess the "Thug" is my new horse. What do ya'll think?
