UFC is currently undergoing a remarkable surge in popularity, along with greater mainstream media coverage. UFC programming can now be seen on Spike TV in the United States, as well as in 35 other countries worldwide.
My prediction is that Lytle will try everything to defend against the takedown...but if he allows Hughes to get as close to him as he did with Serra then Hughes will pick him up and slam him. Also Hughes has more range than Serra so Lytle will have to strike a lot better if he wishes to win...He threw hardly any strikes at Serra and that was dissapointing.
Randy will be KO'd by Sylvia...thats my guess anyway. Also i am thinking it will be in the first minute of the first round.
Franklin is gonna stop "The Athlete" in the first round also. I think it will be spectacular.
Renato will win with a Tap-out. Maybe in the second round.
For Kampman...I dunno if he will win but i really hope so.
I hope u don't mean that about Randy, thats crap, he fought the best strike in the UFC 3 times aka Chuck, and he beat him once, and he can beat a ***** like Sylvia who has no heart who is a fat steroid taking trash talker..u might wanan rethink that, randy delivers with the odds agsint him, not to mention one of the greatest athletes alive even at his age..get a brain
I could be mistaken, but wasn't Matt Hughes supposed to fight Rich Franklin? If so, why was that card changed?
Nope, they were just both featured on the poster to get up the buyrate on the PPV. Besides, Franklin is a Middleweight and Hughes is a Welter. They both want their respective belts back so I see no reason for either one of them to move up or down in weight. If they did fight though, it'd be an interesting fight. As of now though Matt is fighting the sacrificial lamb the UFC has thrown at him, Chris Lytle. Rich is fighting Jason MacDonald, a fairly worthy opponent.
Sylvia/Couture has the potential to be a great fight .... People underestimate and give Sylvia no credit. Those that say he has no heart are clueless. Frank Mir broke Sylvia's arm in an armbar (you could see the arm pop as the bone broke) and Sylvia wanted to continue, in fact the ref had to stop the fight, that's heart. It took alot of heart to comeback from the loss to Arlovski not only to regain his belt, but beat him twice. Come on, the guy is 25-2-0 he deserves a little respect. His last fight with Monson was a joke, but Monson is one of the best wrestlers around and strong as an ox Sylvia not only denied him the take down most of the fight, when they were on the ground, it was Sylvia that dominated. He was even attempting submissions. I'm sorry, but Sylvia deserves alot more respect than he is given... With that said, Capt. American is gonna take it to him. As long as Couture can close the gap, he's gonna own Sylvia. In the Clinch Randy is gonna dominate him and when (when not if) it goes to the ground, Randy's gonna mount him, drive him into the cage, and ground and pound him Sylvia until the ref stops the fight. Couture 4th round.
Hughes/Lytle ... I agree with the other posts I saw, this is a joke. The whole purpose of this fight is to give Hughes someone to dominate to regain his confidence.
Franklin/MacDonald ... Franklin all the way. But I think it will be a better fight than alot of people are thinking it will be.
What happened to Tim Sylvia vs. Brandon Vera? I thought after Monson, Vera was next. Don't get me wrong, I'd rather see Couture, but I think Vera would have beat Sylvia also.
And I'm still waiting for Chuck Liddel to fight Wanderlei Silva!

Remember that Randy beat Chuck once out of three fights...he was KO'd in both other fights relatively easily. Not to mention that the fight he won was years ago.
Randy is a legend and i dont dispute that and i dislike Sylvia just as much as the next guy but he has beaten Arlovski twice, maybe he was lucky or whatever but the fact remains, and Arlovski is a good fighter. Again I cannot wait for Crocop to murder Sylvia...but i think Vera(if he is still in the UFC or is gonna do his last fight) should have the honor of that.
Randy is freakin old. He's 43 years old for god's sake. While Tim is only 30 and at his prime. I don't understand why Randy decided to come out of retirement to fight Tim. He should be content with retiring as a hall of fame legend. I'd hate to see him get beat by Tim. Atleast if he fought and lost to CroCop, it wouldn't be that sad because CroCop is a respectable fighter. Unlike that chump Sylvia. No offense to the Sylvia fans in here. I just plain don't care for the guy. He's just a big guy with no signicance in skills. Go Randy!

UFC 68 - My predictions
Couture vs Silvia : It can go either way; Silvia early in the first round by TKO or Couture late in the 2nd by submission. For Couture to have a chance he is going to have to close the distance, get inside and dirty box or take him down and use Silvias weight against him. If the fight goes past the first I think Couture will win it hands down. It all depends on Coutures ability to get out of Silvias swooping punches. For Silvia to win he will have to do what he usually does, swings for the fences and hope he connects.
MacDonald vs Franklin : I am going for MacDonald late in the 2nd or early in the 3rd by submission. I think Franklin is going to try to keep it on his feet and MacDonald is going to take it to the ground. MacDonald is coming off of two somewhat impressive wins over Herman and Leben and Franklin is coming off of an embarassing loss to Silva. Franklin was systematically taken down, he couldnt defend against the tai clinch and that is something that I am sure he is working on because MacDonald utilizes the tai clinch often. If MacDonald can hang with Franklins striking I think he will catch Franklin with a submssion, I am going to say a choke either guillotine or triangle.
Hughes vs Lytle: I dont like the guy, but I am going for Hughes late in the first or early in the second by ground and pound. I dont think Lytle is a contender with his UFC record 2-5 and I dont think he has seen someone with Hughes angle technique of coming in side and low and getting inside. I think Hughes was humbled with his loss to Pierre (which I still contest) and now he actually has something to prove now that the shiny thing isnt around his waist. What was with it with Pierre and the what three toe to groin shots? Those took Hughes out of the fight, after he recovered he was constantly stepping off as Pierre came inside and he looked unsure of his footing and stepped into that nasty shot.
Lambert vs Sobral: Lambert by tko late in the second. Sobral wont stand with Lambert and Lambert has been working ferociously on his take down defense (something that he recognizes as a weakness) Sobral has better conditioning but I think he will overuse his ground techniques and if Lambert can avoid the takedown and or work on his hip control he has a chance of a ground and pound win.
I sure hope the unexpected happens. As we all know it could, but by definition, probably won't. Upsetting the apple cart is just so much fun. Hughes, Franklin, Silvia, I don't care who, I just want at least one of them to lose.
Sylvia/Couture has the potential to be a great fight....People underestimate and give Sylvia no credit. Those that say he has no heart are clueless....His last fight with Monson was a joke, but Monson is one of the best wrestlers around and strong as an ox Sylvia not only denied him the take down most of the fight, when they were on the ground, it was Sylvia that dominated.

I think Monson put out as good of a fight as can be expected considering who he was up against. Sylvia has a reach from hell. So bad that it should be considered cheating. Did you notice that even when Monson had top position he couldn't connect because his arms weren't long enough to reach Sylvia's face? I think his reach is his biggest advantage and poor Monson didn't stand a chance. I mean what is it, like 84 inches ? How can you beat a guy if it's physically impossible?
Take a few inches off those arms and legs, then tell me how talented he would be .
Oh and if my sources are right, Liddell/Silva isn't gonna happen because Wandy lost his title to Dan Henderson??? I'll have to check up on it myself, I only heard this.
