UFC 107 Punch Drunk Predictions

The weekend is finally here and a great card of fights is before us, meaning another round of Punch Drunk Predictions are ready to go.

After a couple cards of making like "Smooth" Jimmy Apollo from The Simpsons - "If you're right 52% of the time, you're wrong 48% of the time." - UFC 107 is another one of those lineups that can give a guy trying to improve his winning percentage fits.

Every fight on the undercard is conceivably a coin flip situation - though I'm not tossing any quarters in the air this morning - while the pay-per-view portion of things can either go 100% according to Hoyle (or Kyte, as the case may be) or completely pear-shaped.

Either way, we're in for a great night of fights.

  1. I can deal with 7-4 for the night, including 5-for-5 on the main card... maybe I should put more time and energy into picking the prelims from here on out too.
