Khang's Blog: UFC 128 Preview And Predictions

Mirko Cro Cop vs. Brendan Schaub
This is a matchup of experience vs. youth. Cro Cop is a legend in the sport and Schaub is still trying to make a name for him. If Schaub were to beat a big name like Cro Cop it would definitely boost his resume and help get him bigger fights. I just don't see it happening. Schaub's inexperience will show and although Cro Cop has been stellar of late I expect him to take care of Schaub by knockout.
PREDICTION: Cro Cop

Nate Marquardt vs. Dan Miller
Marquardt has been critizied for choking in the "big fight" and needs an impressive win to stay atop the middle weight division. Miller is looking to replace a guy like Marqaurdt and become a top contender. I look for an entertaining fight that will last all three rounds.
PREDICTION: Marquardt

Urijah Faber vs. Eddie Wineland
Faber is a huge fan favorite and rightfully so. He pushes the action and is lightning quick. Wineland is definitely no push over though and will look to knock Faber out. I see Wineland pulling this one out. It should be a very fun fight to watch though.
PREDICTION: Wineland

Mauricio Rua vs. Jon Jones
UFC 128's main event is a great one. Jones just fought a little over a month ago taking care of top contender Ryan Bader with relative ease. But is he ready to take on the experienced light weight champion? Rua is no stranger to big fights and has devastating leg kicks. Jon Jones on the other hand is a different animal. He has knockout power, great wrestling and incredible athleticism. Jones is the new breed of mma fighters. Although very young I think Jones is ready to be a champion. Jones by knockout.
PREDICTION: Jones
