Saturday has finally arrived, and with it comes UFC 102 from the Rose Garden Arena in Portland, Oregon.While originally not sold on this fight card, a week full of previews and pondering has left me more excited for this card than any in recent memory, save for UFC 100. All five fights on the telecast have something to be offered and there are more than a couple preliminary card bouts that look intriguing.
The fight I'm most interested in? Tim Hague versus Todd Duffee; not because I'm Canadian and so is Hague, but because I interviewed him earlier in the week and fighters I interview prior to fights are currently 0-1.
Time to see if the curse continues...

Funny. I made all the same picks you did except i had Nogueira by unanimous decision.
ReplyDeleteWas not a good night for our picks!
It is a horrible pic I think. Looking blood on his nose and mouth makes me don't want to look at this pic anymore. It is so terrible...

ReplyDeleteWell..I almost have the same opinion. It is quite uncomfortable seeing that bloody nose and the lost teeth. I can imagine how the match going. It must be a tough competition, right?
