Here is a quick reminder regarding this weekend’s UFC 108 fight - January 2nd, 2010. It’ll be the first big fight of the New Year and as always it should be exciting.
This was supposed to be a Rampage Jackson vs Rashad Evans coaches bout but, Rampage opted out to pursue an acting gig as 'B.A.' Baracus in the new A-team movie.
No biggie Rampage we’ll forgive you. So, headlining this card is Rashad Evans vs Thiago Silva. I think the consensus will be in Rashad’s favor. As for the rest of the card should be some good action. I can’t wait to see the Heavyweight bout between Junior dos Santos vs. Gilbert Yvel. Gilbert is one of the scariest looking guys in MMA. Junior is practically a pretty boy next to this guy. I still give Junior the edge because of how he won his last fight against Mirko Cro Cop. The other interesting fight and potential upset is the Lightweight bout between Joe Lauzon vs. Sam Stout. There is two likely ending either Joe will submit Sam or Sam will win by Decision (Unanimous). Sam is known for his explosive kickboxing and going the distance. Joe on the other hand has 14 wins by submission in 22 fights…unreal. My personal parlay here is Stout, Evans and dos Santos.
Gilbert Yvel – he’s scary right? But can he handle the emerging Dos Santos?
Well, it's certainly possible -- just like everything else in this sport -- and those who lay down some cheddar on the underdogs next weekend stand to make a healthy profit to start the New Year.
