UFC 158 MArch 16th

[Ludo]

Did anyone else find it funny that the quote reads "former ufc fighter making his ufc debut"?

[SPX]

Mulhern will lose.

An injury to Sean Pierson had opened up the door for former UFC fighter Quinn Mulhern to make his UFC debut. According to Mulhern on Twitter today, he’ll be taking on Rick Story at UFC 158, which takes place March 16 in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. Mulhern is the latest Strikeforce fighter to cross over to the UFC, and after seeing his fellow Strikeforce alum go 3-0 at UFC 156, there’s no doubt he’ll be motivated to pick up a big win over Story, who needs a W desperately himself.

I agree that Miller is not "that bad" of a wrestler, but that is different from being a good wrestler. He tends to get handled by other guys with strong grappling ability (Sonnen, Maia, Marquardt, Palhares).

Whether or not he's got the wrestling to take Mein down remains to be seen, but one thing that's for sure is that Miller is no Woodley.

True Dat.

Millers not that bad of a wrestler. I don't really know how good of a wrestler Mein is though. He was taken down quite a bit by Woodley but that doesn't say much. Woodley is a massive, powerful wrestler.

Yeah I like Mein here.

I think Miller is a solid and skilled fighter who has the tools to send the unworthy out of the UFC, but I expect Mein will give him some problems. Mein is a solid striker who, from what I remember, should at least have good enough T3D to defend against Miller's lackluster wrestling.

I favor Mein, but it's not a lock or anything. It wouldn't shock me to see Dan win.

Dan Miller vs Jordan Mein as well.

Could be interesting. Miller has a rough record in the ufc but he also has been fighting the top guys. He is tough as nails too. Mein looks like he has some power in his hands. I don't really know much about him though.

Nick Ring versus Chris Camozzi added.

I like Ring in this one. I'll admit that I have been underestimating Camozzi for a while. He has done pretty well so far. His tko against Catone was a cut BTW. I think Ring is the better striker though I don't know what kind of wrestling Camozzi can bring to the table. He might be able to muscle Ring around the cage.

[SPX]

At that line, it's Hamburgler or nothing.

Hmm. I like Hendricks, but it will probably be very close, like the Koscheck and Pierce fights. I definitely won't take Hendricks t -200. Might consider Ellenberger at +150 though. Hopefully it will creep up some.
