UFC 103 Fight Predictions

It's another MMA night of action again for us this weekend. And as we all get ready to watch the UFC 103 live stream this Saturday. Let me present to you my personal predictions for the upcoming UFC 103 main fight cards.

UFC 103 Main Fight Cards:

Catchweight (195 lb): Rich Franklin vs Vitor Belfort
Belfort is a striker who can swing with the best of them if he is on form. Franklin hasn't shown a strong ability to handle that in the past, and certainly can't step up and match Belfort swing for swing. Pick: Vitor Belfort

Heavyweight: Mirko Filipovic vs Junior dos Santos
Youth wins out over experience here, then. Besides, I have to imagine that the UFC would be much happier if dos Santos wins and continues to develop as a viable contender, so they wouldn't likely put him in too tough of a spot. Pick: Junior dos Santos

Welterweight: Martin Kampmann vs Paul Daley
Martin Kampmann will utilize the same strategy he employed against Carlos Condit. Kampmann's takedowns and ground-and-pound will neutralize Daley's striking. Pick: Martin Kampmann

Welterweight: Josh Koscheck vs Frank Trigg
I love backing an underdog in MMA when the opportunity presents itself. This is not one of those cases. Anything Trigg can do Koscheck can do better, and he has a clear edge. Pick: Josh Koscheck

Lightweight: Tyson Griffin vs Hermes Franca
I don't see a lot to choose between the two fighters, and I really don't see why Griffin is so heavily favored. That makes Franca a nice value pick here in a fight that is little more than a coin toss. Pick: Hermes Franca
