25th february the UFC returns to japan for UFC 144.I'm expecting this to be a good card,heres my predictions:
Main event:Frankie Edgar vs Ben Henderson
This should be a good fight,I think edgar will keep it standing.Hnederson will try and ko edgar,no doubt henderson is a good fighter but i just think at the moment i do not see anyone will legitamate skills to beat edgar.
Frankie Edgar win via unanimous decision(Also think it will get fight of the night)
Co main event: Quinton Jackson vs. Ryan Bader=Rampage win via Split decision.
Mark Hunt vs. Cheick Kongo=Kongo win via ko
Yoshihiro Akiyama vs. Jake Shields=jake Shields win via submission
Yushin Okami vs. Tim Boetsch=Okami win via unanimous decision
Hatsu Hioki vs. Bart Palaszewski=Palaszewski win via tko
Anthony Pettis vs. Joe Lauzon=Anthony pettis win via unanimous decision

Edgar - Dec
Rampage - Dec
Hunt - KO
Shields - Dec
Okami - TKO
Palaszewski - Tko
Lauzon - Dec
I cant wait to watch it. I think the Edgar Hendo match has the potential to be one of the best fights ever. I said that about the Condit Diaz fight and although it was technically good it wasnt the all out war i wanted it to be.
How do you guys watch ESPN is it through sky? I got one of those top up tv cards for my tele and it was a disaster it just doesnt work.

Lauzon - Pettis is the fight Im most looking forward to.
I think J-Lo will win via submission.
I don't know enough about the Japanese fighters to predict, but Im looking forward to the event.
I think Rampage will knock Bader out and think Edgar will edge a decision.

What did you think to the card, Milfage?
Bader/Rampage was a big disappointment. Maybe a touch cliche but where does this leave Rampage? Not making weight and a very dismal display.

Edgar vs Henderson was a decent technical fight but didn't get the blood racing, never looked like being a knock out either way. Had Henderson winning 48-47 so no complaints over the result but wouldn't like to see a rematch as the size difference is too great. Hopefully Edgar will drop down to face Aldo.
Jackson vs Bader was a damp squib. Not a fan of Bader but he won easily, time for Rampage to stick to acting methinks. Though his howling makes me laugh when he walks out
Hunt vs Kongo was a surprise for me, thought Herb Dean stopped it too early and should have waited another 3 secs or so, i'll never forget that comeback against Pat Barry!! Poor ref he is, often stops fights too early.
Sexyama vs Shields I thought Shields dominated from start to finish, nice to see him rediscover some form
Okami vs Boetsch loved this fight, complete domination for 2 rounds and then an amazing comeback and KO by Boetsch, brilliant stuff.
Pettis vs Lauzon disappointing for Lauzon as he seems a decent bloke, but Showtime is different class - would love to see him take on Henderson next!

Pettis' showreel kick off the cage was on Henderson wasnt it!
Not sure about Pettis though. He was the last man to beat Hendserson but I saw him get absolutely dominated by Guida last year.
