My Predictions for UFC 210: Cormier Vs Johnson. The event will kick off in just a few hours.
NOTE: I've been an MMA fan for a long time, and
also a martial arts practitioner. I analyze the fighters and their history, but considering the unpredictability of this sport, I make the final decision based on what my gut says. I have a pretty good track record with MMA predictions, but I NEVER gamble! I make predictions just for fun. I won't be responsible if you lose all your money by gambling on my predictions. Don't come crying to me if your wife leaves you because you told her you were going to be a millionaire, and now you're homeless. I don’t suggest betting, but if you want to, please bet responsibly.
Here are my predictions (Underlined in Red)
Thoughts on the main and co-main event
Regarding the main event; I feel like DC's time as champion is done now. He looked terrible at the weigh-ins, and in his last fight against an aging out of prime Anderson Silva who fought DC on like 1 day notice. It seems like now DC has stopped evolving and is not hungry anymore, while Anthony Johnson on the other hand looks very determined. Johnson almost had Cormier in the first fight, but DC weathered the storm and took control. That fight was a long time ago, and frankly, I haven't seen the same fire in DC since then. I believe rumble has evolved since then, and he takes this fight.
Coming to the co-main event. Mousasi has been on a tear lately, while Weidman has lost 2 straight in brutal fashion. This is a very interesting matchup. Weidman is an excellent grappler / all round fighter while Mousasi is mostly known as a striker. The winner of this fight will surely be considered for the next title shot. This is going to be a very close fight with fireworks, but I think Weidman takes it.
