UFC 156 PREVIEW AND PREDICTION

UFC 156 PREVIEW AND PREDICTION
One of the biggest UFC cards of the year will take place tommorow night. With the return of MMA greats Alistar Overeem and Rashad Evans. As well as the Super Fight between Featherweight Champion Jose Also and challenger former Lightweight Champion Frankie Edgar. SpinzzSports is here to preview the whole main card for you.Spinzz
Joseph Benavidez vs Ian McCall
A fight that could determine who is the next challenger for the flyweight championship. McCall and Benavidez both fought the Champion Mighty Mouse in the Flyweight Tournament. These two are both very well rounded and can win this fight at anytime. It is gonna be a close back and forth fight but I think the Benavidez is a little bit better everywhere then McCall.
Benavidez by Decsicion

Jon Fitch vs Demian Maia
Two fighters that want to get the fight to the ground and are two of th best when it gets down there. Maia whos is one of the best jiu jitsu fighters in the world who really looks like he has found a home at the 170 pound weight class. He is going up against one of the top guys in the weight class for years in Jon Fitch. Fitch who ive been critical on finally  starting to put on good fights. The big thing with this fight is when it goes to the ground will Fitch utilize his wrestling and will Maia use his submissions. Also who has the advantage on the feet when these two are standing. I feel like Fitch is going to be smart with his wrestling and tire Maia out.

Rashad Evans vs Antonio Rogerio Nogueira
Rashad Evans returns with a fight that is a big fight for him. A win for Rashad and he gets a shot at Anderson Silva. In his way is Silvas training partner Lil Nog. While everyone is looking pat this fight for Rashad im not. Lil Nog has great boxing and jiu jitsu. That being said Rashads got great wrestling and the speed edge and can dictate where this fight takes place.
Rashad by Decision
Alistar Overeem vs Antnio Silva
A fight that was going to happen years ago in Strikeforce will happen now. Like Rashad Overeem has a tittle shot on the line. If history shows us anything Big Foot likes to spoil MMA fans plans. Silva stopped the Overeem vs Fedor fight and he will look to do the same again. I however dont see it happening. Silva has not looked good at all in the UFC his one win was against a hurt Travis Brown. Overeem will keep it standing which is good for him he has the best stand up in the UFC Heavyweight divison if not all of  MMA.
Overeem by TKO Round 1
Jose Aldo vs Frankie Edgar
A fight ive wanted to see for a long tme between two of the best fighters in the game with Jose Aldo vs Frankie Edgar. Edgar the former 155 pound champ who only lost the belt on two questionable decisons and who many people feel like is still the best fighter at 155 drops down to fight 145 pount camp Jose Aldo. If your a fight fan this is a fight you wanna watch. These guys are so well rounded they are great no matter where the fight goes. For me the big factors are can Edgar with stand Aldos kicks? Will Aldo gas in the latter rounds? Finally is the long lay off going to hurt Aldo. What I see happening is Aldo taking the early rounds and Frankie coming on string late, but I think Aldo will do to much damage early for Frankie to come back from.

Aldo vs Edgar

Call it a Super Fight. Call it a Dream Fight. Call it whatever the hell you want, all I know is this fight is going to be CRAZY! The dominant champ of the 145 pound division is going up against the once-dominant champ of the 155 pound division, and the Featherweight Championship is on the line. I know most people are predicting Aldo to win by domination, but you can never count "The Answer" out. I believe if Edgar can survive the initial first round barrage that Aldo is going to throw, he will win this fight. When it comes to cardio, you won't find anyone better than Edgar. Aldo on the other hand, has a tendency to fatigue pretty easily in the later rounds. That is the key to the fight. It's inevitable that Frankie will lose the first round like he does in all of his fights, but the key to victory for Frankie here is out-working Aldo from the 2nd round on. If Edgar can steal three of the last four rounds by continuously moving in and out, landing quick combinations, and using his fantastic footwork, he will win a decision and become the new champion.

Evans vs Lil Nog
This fight could end up being great, or it could end up being bad. Rashad has the superior striking, quickness, and wrestling. But what strategy is he going to use? Is he going to wrestle Lil Nog like Bader and Davis did in the past? That may be the best route to victory, but it isn't the most entertaining. Most importantly, when is the last time Lil Nog has even fought? 2011 against Tito Ortiz? Ring rust will play a major factor in this fight, I see Rashad winning by decision, or possibly a late TKO if he wants to.

Overeem vs Big Foot
This fight is guaranteed to end by brutal knockout. Book it. These are two big dudes with bad intentions. Overeem has seemed a little cocky at times, and is maybe under-estimating Big Foot. But I see Overeem and his far superior striking winning this fight early. This won't be an easy fight for either fighters.Overeem by TKO round one.

Fitch vs Maia
I have a feeling this fight will be extremely boring. Hopefully Maia can catch Fitch in a submission, but unfortunately I see Fitch wrestling his way to a decision. Maia has improved his striking, but I see Fitch taking him down right away and avoiding his submissions for three rounds.

Midget 1 vs Midget 2
Benavidez is quicker, stronger, and has better wrestling than McCall. This fight could end up being fight of the night with the frantic pace these little guys will keep. I have Benavidez winning an entertaining decision by using his speed and wrestling.
