UFC 116 Predictions *Updated 6-25*

[REEDsART]

Two changes have been made to the televised card, so two changes will be made to this contest.

Obviously Wanderlei Silva has been replaced by Chris Leben.

Also, the Grove\Reljic fight is off the Spike prelim broadcast and is being replace by Seth Petruzzeli vs Ricardo Romero. So the updated card is...

• Matt Brown vs. Chris Lytle
• Stephan Bonnar vs. Krzysztof Soszynski

PRELIMINARY CARD (Spike TV)

• Brendan Schaub vs. Chris Tuchscherer

[Trplsec]

Damn, I can't believe Lesnar-Carwin is only a couple days away.

How will this fight go? Is it just a matter of who lands the big right hand first or does it go to the mat?

Lesnar is training with two huge wrestlers in Tuchscherer and Madsen who are both peaking at the same time. There is no doubt his wrestling will be superior. But does he just race across the ring and throw Carwin down?

Can't wait.

[Anthony]

There are a few people that have picked Silva and dont think they have changed their pick.

I believe a healthy Lesnar can wrestle down and handle Carwin really well, however I believe Carwin will win ground and pound.
Leben By KO
Lytle by Submission
Soszynski UD
Sotiropoulos by sub

If Carwin is like a turtle on his back....gg.

[Trplsec]

Man, I'll say it again, this is an MMA fan's kind of card. The matchups are fantastic. 3 or 4 fights have Fight of the Night written all over them.

Lesnar
Leben
Brown
Soszynski
Pelligrino
Schaub
Romero


I honestly think Sotiropolous will win but I can't pick against my boy Batman. Let's get this shit started!!!!

I would also like to add, what this does not show , is that Brock has no shoes on and Carwin put his back on.

He is clearly smaller than lesner.

That won't mean nothing when Lesnar gets hit.Them hands of Carwin haven't failed him yet.
