MMA Betting Picks - Mixed Martial Arts Predictions

Robbie Lawler vs Scott Smith

This rematch should be good. Lawler was winning the fight when it was called early, but Scott Smith was gaining back ground in fast fashion. This one should be good as well and I’ll go with my pick last time. Scott Smith.

Nick Diaz vs Thomas Denny

Confidently picking Nick Diaz here.

Jake Shields vs Nick Thompson

Might be fight of the night if Scott Smith does what he says and boxes a little more and uses more head movement. They both have a ton of experience against excellent competition. The difference is that Jake has beaten most of them, while Nick has lost to them one way or the other. Don’t get me wrong though Thompson could win this fight if Shields is not careful. I’m going to go with the favorite Jake Shields. He is fighting near his hometown and I think this one is likely to go his way.

Shayna Bazler vs Cristiane ‘Cyborg’ Santos

Cristiane is a very intense fighter that I think Shayna will struggle with. Although Shayna has a lot of promise and talent I think shes just running into the wrong fighter right here. I like Santos here.

Antonio Silva vs Justin Eihlers

Silva in lock of the night.

Rafael Cavalcante vs Travis Galbraith

Galbraith has more experience against top competition such as Jonathan Goulet, Joe Doerkson, Kazuhiro Nakamura, and George St. Pierre. Even though Galbraith has lost to each of those names, I think the experience alone might be enough to carry him through a victory in this fight. However, Fejiao is likely too much trouble to deal with. I’m going with Rafael.

The other fights on the card are not bet worthy as the fighters are relatively unknown and inexperienced.
