UFC 133


Its time to get my prediction-face on for the main event of UFC 133. We have Rashad taking on Tito Ortiz (Which was going to be Jones, but Jones pulled out, and then it was going to be Phil Davis then he pulled out, then Machida but he backed out and so Tito was the only one to step up).

Tito just came off a big win over Ryan Bader, and has rarely looked better (which is saying a lot, since Tito has not won since 2006). Nevertheless, Tito has had some close battles where he almost won but this time he says he is 100 percent, so we have take his word on it, for now.

With that said, this is a new era and Rashad is one of the best in the world. Rashad has only one loss in his career and has a draw which came from none other than Tito Ortiz (Tito would have won if he did not grab the fence and obtain a point deduction). Nevertheless, I do not see a younger and quicker (but most likely not stronger) Rashad losing to even a fit Tito.

Rashad is no Ryan Bader, he is at the top of the food chain, a man who has finished Griffin and UD Rampage Jackson and UD Thaigo Silva. There are still too many unanswered questions for me to choose the Huntington Beach Bad Boy.

With all that said, I believe Rashad will cruise to a UD.

But, as always, good luck to both Gentleman!
