UFC 100 Official fight card:

Main Card
Heavyweight Championship bout: Champion Brock Lesnar vs. Interim Champion Frank Mir

Lesnar takes this one for me. He was destroying Mir last time until he made a rookie error and left his leg out there. He won't make the same mistake again, although Mir's striking was awesome against Nog, fascinating fight.

Welterweight Championship bout: Georges St-Pierre vs. Thiago Alves

Alves is a tricky fighter, no doubt about that, but this fight just screams beatdown to me. The potential is there for GSP to just toss Alves around the octagon for 5 rounds.

Middleweight bout: Dan Henderson vs. Michael Bisping

Hendo takes this for me. I like Bisping, but he's not well rounded enough to beat Hendo, his wrestling is far superior and I give him the edge on striking. Hendo to win a decision.

Welterweight bout: Jon Fitch vs. Paulo Thiago

Interesting fight. Tiago holds a win over Josh Koscheck but that was an early stoppage so there's no telling how good he is. Fitch suffered a beating at the hands of GSP and hasn't really been the same since.

Middleweight bout: Yoshihiro Akiyama vs. Alan Belcher

I love watching Belcher fight, but he always seems to come up just short. That being said, I like his Muay Tai and BJJ skills, and I take him to win this one.

Probably not. It took me a while to get into it but when I did I was glad. Give it another go.

Depends how old you are. If, as a kid, the likes of Bloodsport, Kickboxer and AWOL we’re whispered in the darkest corners of the playground to the tune of bootleg Chubby Brown tapes, then you’ll understand.
