UFC 198 predictions: 'Werdum vs Miocic' Fight Pass 'Prelims' undercard preview, Pt. 2
from MMA Mania




170 lbs.: Demian Maia vs. Matt Brown

Now almost nine years into his UFC career, Demian Maia (22-6) continues to soldier on in a division full of young stars, winning four straight since his loss to Rory MacDonald. His last two bouts have seen him hand Neil Magny his only loss in his last 11 fights and dominate ADCC competitor Gunnar Nelson on the mat.

Ten of his wins have come by submission.

The unexpected rise of Matt Brown (20-13) through the Welterweight division came to an end at the hands of Robbie Lawler, who outbrawled the Muay Thai specialist over five rounds. A decision loss to Johny Hendricks followed, but "The Immortal" re-entered the win column with a guillotine finish of Tim Means in July 2015.
He was booked to face Kelvin Gastelum in Nov. 2015 before suffering an ankle injury.


Maia is so adept at chain wrestling and slipping onto the back during scrambles that he's basically become the sock from "Monsters, Inc.:" If he touches you, panic. MacDonald showed that he can be worn down with a careful ranged attack and Jake Shields showed that a world-class top game and extreme patience can pay dividends, but without one of those two skills, you're in for a long night.

Brown has neither.

Brown's tremendous durability, cardio and preternatural ability to select the exact limb needed to inflict maximum damage make him a nightmare match up for anyone intent on striking with him. His own aggression will work against him here, however, as his preferred clinch puts him in Maia's grasp. He's not getting out once he's there -- Maia spends a few minutes on Brown's back before choking him out.


Prediction: Maia via first-round submission





170 lbs.: Warlley Alves vs. Bryan Barberena

Warlley Alves (10-0) may have gotten some help from the judges in his fight with Alan Jouban, but he didn't need them for his next two bouts. The Ultimate Fighter (TUF): "Brazil 3" winner guillotined Nordine Taleb in Aug. 2015, then used the same move four months later to finish Colby Covington in less than 90 seconds.

All six of his submission wins are via form of choke.

Few gave Bryan Barberena (11-3) much of a chance when he stepped in on short notice to face Sage Northcutt, who had been tabbed as one of the promotion's future stars. Unfortunately for UFC, "Bam Bam" defied the odds, using his size and grit to choke Northcutt out in the second round.

He has knocked out eight of his opponents as a professional.

While Barberena would likely be better served going back to the Lightweight division, where he seemed able to maintain his cardio while bringing his strength to bear, he's a good test for Alves. The explosive Brazilian still needs to prove he can maintain his pace against relentless foes.

Basically, if Alves is what he's cracked up to me, he should take it. His wicked submissions, power striking and underrated takedowns form a devastating skill set. If he tries to bomb Barberena out like he did Jouban, however, he's in trouble. I'll err on the Brazilian's side and say he locks up a guillotine before Barberena can get going.


Prediction: Alves via first-round submission




185 lbs.: Thiago Santos vs. Nate Marquardt

Following a 1-2 start to his UFC career, Thiago Santos (12-3) quickly established himself as one to watch in the Middleweight division with brutal knockouts of Andy Enz and Steve Bosse, the latter one of 2015's best. Despite this, he entered his next bout against Elias Theodorou as an underdog, but managed to wear down and batter the Canadian for a unanimous decision win.

He has knocked out seven opponents overall.

Nate Marquardt (34-15-2) stepped into the cage opposite C.B. Dollaway with his back against the wall, having lost five of his previous six fights in fairly one-sided fashion. "The Great" came through in the clutch with a blistering right hand that laid out "The Doberman" early in the second round.

Sixteen of his 26 stoppage wins have come by submission.

I'll readily admit that it was a hell of a knockout, but I am not convinced that Marquardt is "back." His wrestling hasn't kept up with the sport's evolution, leaving him unable to bring his submission game to bear, and he's no longer durable nor fast enough to hold his own on the feet with big hitters.

Santos is a very big hitter.

Marquardt simply does not have the striking acumen to keep the Brazilian at bay nor the physicality to overpower him. Santos breaks him down with heavy kicks before stopping him in the second.


Prediction: Santos via second-round knockout




135 lbs.: John Lineker vs. Rob Font

Despite a career-best win over Ian McCall, the persistent weight issues of John Lineker (26-7) forced him to move back to Bantamweight, where he took on fellow slugger Francisco Rivera in Sept. 2015. The two duked it out for a furious 2:08 before "Hands of Stone" forced a tap via guillotine.

He was set to face Cody Garbrandt in February before coming down with dengue fever.

Injuries on both his and his opponents' parts kept Rob Font (12-1) out of action for 1.5 years following his one-hitter-quitter against George Roop. He returned to the cage in January against Joey Gomez, whom he punched into submission in Boston's TD Garden.

He stands six inches taller than Lineker at 5'8."

Long-time readers may be aware that I am a shameless Lineker fanboy, so it shouldn't surprise you that I'm picking the tiny bastard to win by stoppage. The thing about Lineker is that he never stops -- he's one of the most active punchers in UFC and can keep that pace for 15 minutes, punishing the body and eventually drawing opponents into slugfests they can't win. He's also got the defensive wrestling to shut down the likes of McCall and a chin that could probably stand up to a meteor strike.

Font's massive length advantage and diverse striking should pay early dividends, but once the body shots start piling up, it's just a matter of time. Lineker drops the first round before ultimately battering Font into submission late in the second.


Prediction: Lineker via second-round technical knockout

Idiot's Guide Preview to Demian Maia vs. Matt Brown
from David Castillo - Bloody Elbow




3 Things You Should Know


1. Maia is experiencing a viagratic like resurgence in the division despite an age and style some felt would doom him.

I don't know that I ever counted Maia out in the division. I just thought he'd hit a stylistic plateau; a lot of fights at 170 are tough for him just because a lot of the current elite have bricks for fists. But with four wins over decent (LaFlare) to really good competition (Nelson, Magny), it's clear that Maia is still the threat he's always been even at 38 years of age. He's taking on a fighter equally old, but unequally violent on the feet.



2. Brown is another unlikely veteran playing a young man's game better than the young men. I thought only heavyweight reserved to right to subvert expectations.





Since 2012, the only losses on Matt Brown's record belong to Robbie Lawler (current champion), and Johny Hendricks (former champion). Am I supposed to say much more, here? Like Maia, age and style has always had me within of skeptic's breath of analyzing his fall, and like Maia (or like my inability to analyze perhaps), the dude just keeps junkyard dogging his way through the welterweight hierarchy.


3. Maia will take this convincingly. But I'm never right about these guys so fingers crossed for the reverse jinx of watching this turn into a slugfest.



The most underrated part of Maia's game has always been his core strength. Yes, it was on display against Rick Story, when he squeezed the sinuses out of him. But so many of his fights are fought on an axis he either dictates, forces, or successfully avoids that the pattern becomes clear: he's able to impose his will more often than his opponent. For a guy who doesn't really pass the eye test in athleticism, that's an impressive feat going beyond simply his world class technique. But oh yea there's that.

I didn't expect him to beat Gunnar Nelson, but it was a dominating performance that looks even better in retrospect. The other thing I've always noted is Maia's striking. It's still anything but organic, and clearly not a part of his efficiency wheelhouse, but the punches themselves are thrown with enough acumen that a little more conviction with the support of said core strength sometimes go a long way in avoiding being overwhelmed. He's gone the distance with a lot of good strikers in losing, so I don't think Brown will suddenly dismantle him despite his style.

Brown will have to deal with Maia's groundwork. On the feet, Brown can make it tough for any fighter on the planet at this weight. Calling his striking "blue collar" is just lazy. Just because he's not an athlete in the elite sense doesn't mean his striking isn't quick or powerful, which is why I've often underestimated him (that and I never forgot that loss to Amir Sadollah on the show). The movement is raw, but the execution is not. What really separates Brown from other strikers is his ability to generate fight ending strikes in the clinch. His forte is proximity violence, and there are few who do it as well as Matt Brown.



[h=4]Prediction[/h]While I think Brown is more than capable of winning on the feet, Maia has such a polished record of dealing with fighters like Brown (Marquardt broken hamster wheel knockout notwithstanding), I just can't pick against him. In addition, Brown has a distinct history of losing to submissions (9 via loss to them). While it's been awhile, I can think of few fighters more capable of forcing Brown into a grappling exchange than Maia.

Demian Maia by RNC, round 2.

Over/Under Totals for UFC 198
from MMA Odds Breaker



Women’s Catchweight (140lbs) bout: Cristiane “Cyborg” Justino (-1700) vs Leslie Smith (+1100)

Gabe’s Thoughts:
Leslie Smith is tough, so maybe she’ll be able to hang in there for a couple of minutes. In short, I expect a classic “Cyborg” performance here in her UFC debut, resulting in a first round stoppage.

Gabe’s Call: “Cyborg” by T/KO (punches, 3:22 round 1)

Gabe’s Recommended Play: Under 1.5 rounds (-245) 4.9u to win 2u




Light Heavyweight bout: Antonio Rogerio Nogueira (+210) vs Patrick Cummins (-250)


Gabe’s Thoughts: This is a big fight for both 205-pounders who are hungry for victory. Nogueira is coming off back to back losses to Anthony “Rumble” Johnson and Mauricio “Shogun” Rua, respectively, and Cummins is himself coming off a sour knockout loss at the hands of Glover Teixeira. In dire need of a win, I expect both fighters to leave it all inside the Octagon, and in such a scenario, I think Cummins’ tools are superior to Nogueira’s, so I would expect him to dominate the majarity of the 15-minutes of action with his superior wrestling. If the Brazilian does not catch Cummins, it could end up being a very long night for him, as I don’t like his chances of earning a nod of the fight hits the judges’ scorecards for a decision.

Gabe’s Call: Cummins by Unanimous Decision (30-27, 30-27, 30-27)

Gabe’s Recommended Play:
Over 1.5 rounds (-270) 2.7u to win 1u

UFC 198 Preview and Predictions
from Trent Reinsmith - Sports Cheat Sheet




Warlley Alves vs. Bryan Barberena
Warlley Alves is a young, up-and-coming fighter in the welterweight division, and the hype surrounding him seems justified. Alves has fought four times for the UFC, finishing three of those fights by making his opponents tap to guillotine chokes. However, he is not a one-trick fighter; Alves can also handle himself well in the striking department.

Bryan Barberena’s claim to fame is that he put a stop to the Sage Northcutt hype train, submitting the younger fighter by arm triangle choke in January. But don’t expect Barberena to surprise the more experienced and well-rounded Alves in this fight.

Prediction
: Alves by submission in the second round




Mauricio Rua vs. Corey Anderson

Corey Anderson may be the most talented heavyweight on the UFC roster. He has a solid wrestling base and his striking improved in each of his six UFC fights. Anderson may not be the most skilled fighter in the division, but he works hard in the gym. In his last three fights, Anderson matched up against veteran fighters whose best days are behind them. UFC 198 is no different as Anderson faces former UFC light heavyweight champion Mauricio Rua.

Rua is a tough fighter with a good striking game, but he’s proven that he is hittable as of late. Rua won’t go down, but he will get touched up. Anderson will need to work the distance in this one, staying away from Rua’s kickboxing game if he wants to find success. This fight could put Anderson in the rankings with a win.

Prediction
: Anderson by unanimous decision




Cristiane Justino vs. Leslie Smith

For Justino, the hardest part of this fight may be making the 140-pound catchweight limit. The Invicta FC featherweight champion has never fought as low as 140 pounds. She has, however, defeated 13 of her 17 professional opponents by knockout, including the last five women she faced.

Justino is, without hyperbole, the most feared striker to ever fight in women’s mixed martial arts. The word on the street is that Smith took this fight when no one else would. It’s hard to decide whether or not this promoter hyperbole is true, but it does make for a believable story.

If Cyborg can make the weight, this fight will be quick and violent, and hopefully one day set her up to face former UFC women’s bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey, a fighter who Justino says has been dodging her for a long while.

Prediction
: Justino by knockout in the first round




Ronaldo Souza vs. Vitor Belfort

Belfort has always relied on his speed and power to end his opponent’s night. He enters the fight looking for an opening in the first round and when he finds that opening, he swarms, bombarding his opponent with strikes. The downside of that strategy is that if Belfort fails to get the knockout in the first round, he’s quick to fade, opening himself up to be finished in later rounds.

Souza is considered the best submission fighter in the UFC’s middleweight division, but he is more than that; he’s also a fighter who can end his opponent’s night with his hands. The expectation is that Souza will be able to keep his distance from Belfort during the early part of the fight and take advantage of Belfort when his cardio falters.

Prediction
: Souza by submission in the third round




Fabricio Werdum vs. Stipe Miocic

There is one place that Miocic does not want to compete with Werdum — on the ground. Werdum is one of the best jiu-jitsu players in the sport today, and if Miocic, a solid wrestler, does tangle with Werdum on the ground, it will not go well for the challenger. In this fight, Miocic’s best chance is to keep the contest standing and at distance. A clinch with Werdum will favor the champion, too.

The more we think about this fight, the more it’s hard to see Werdum losing. He may not get the submission win, but he’ll get the win in the end, and in doing so, the talk about Werdum being the best heavyweight the UFC has ever seen will begin to dominate the conversation.

Prediction
: Werdum by unanimous decision

from Mike Schultz - Sports Interaction




Fabricio Werdum vs. Stipe Miocic

After almost a year of waiting, Fabricio Werdum (20-5-1) will defend his heavyweight title at UFC 198 against (14-2) Stipe Miocic. Miocic comes from an NCAA Division I wrestling background and he has a Golden Gloves championship under his belt, but may face a struggle against the 38-year-old defender, who is known for his devastating submissions. Werdum is also on a roll lately, with six straight wins, four of them by stoppage. If Miocic can get in some solid strikes, he might surprise everyone with an underdog win, and since the UFC has provided more than one shocking upset lately, I’m going to predict another in this fight.
Prediction:
Miocic by Decision




Ronaldo Souza vs. Vitor Belfort

Vitor Belfort has been around a long time. He’s almost 40 years old and his career in the UFC has been plagued by drug controversies. That said, he’s a powerful striker and won six of his last eight fights and is coming in off a win over Dan Henderson. This match up against Ronaldo Souza could be too much for him to handle though, as Souza is overall the better fighter who is also younger and in better shape. Belfort likes to finish fights, so if he manages to stay on his feet, this match could be a grind that will end in a decision.

Prediction:
Souza by Decision




Cris Cyborg vs. Leslie Smith

Cyborg will enter the octagon this weekend with a 15-1 record. She’s won 87% of her fights by knockout, and there’s no indication that her first official UFC fight will be something different. The UFC is interested in promoting her as a marquee fighter, so they’ve likely set up this match so that she has a very good chance of winning it, hence the -1350 odds she’s currently posting. To be fair though, the last fight with odds that lopsided was Rousey vs. Holm. Leslie Smith isn’t Holly Holm however, so I don’t see this fight going her way, or very long for that matter.

Prediction:
Cyborg by TKO




Mauricio Rua vs. Corey Anderson

This light heavyweight bout between Brazil’s Mauricio Rua (23-10), and the American winner of the Ultimate Fighter season 19, Corey Anderson (8-1) will likely be an easy win for Anderson, who is not only younger than Rua, but is also the faster fighter with harder strikes. Anderson wants to make it into the top ten fighters in his division, and he has been winning and performing consistently, taking five of his last six fights.

Prediction:
Anderson by Decision

The Downes Side: UFC 198 Predictions
from UFC.com




DEMIAN MAIA VS. MATT BROWN

We start in the welterweight division with Demian Maia and Matt Brown. Maia extended his current win streak to four with a decision win over Gunnar Nelson at UFC 194. We all know that Maia is an amazing jiu-jitsu artist, but he’s a complete grappler, so don’t underestimate his wrestling. When it comes to violence, no one is more creative or embraces it like Matt Brown. The “Immortal” one stopped his two-fight skid with a first-round guillotine over Tim Means last July.

Maia has made strides with his striking, but grappling is his bread and butter. Matt Brown can grapple, but he’d much rather throw elbows and knees. It’s entertaining for fans, but it places him in bad positions. He tries to throw his knees and elbows at a jabbing range. That means that he’s too far away and it often causes him to fall out of his stance. Maia could use this to his advantage, but he doesn’t even have to wait for Brown to make a mistake. Brown forces the clinch and I don’t think he beats Maia in a clinch fight.

Maia doesn’t have the best takedown conversion rate, but he’s relentless in the pursuit. Like a volume puncher, his persistence pays off and he wins by unanimous decision.



CRIS CYBORG VS. LESLIE SMITH

Next we move to a women’s catchweight fight between Cris Cyborg and Leslie Smith. Madonna. Prince. Meatloaf. Cyborg. Certain artists only need one name. Cyborg makes her much-anticipated UFC debut and tries to prove to fans why many consider her the most dominant female fighter in the world. Leslie Smith could immediately make herself a star with the upset win. After nearly losing her ear against Jessica Eye, Smith came back with a win over Rin Nikai in March.

Cyborg is an incredible fighter, but if there’s anything we’ve learned over the last few months, it’s that nobody is invincible. She has incredible KO power and doesn’t just throw wild, kill shots. She works her combinations and possesses a lot of technical skill. Her hunt for the finish, however, could be described as overzealous. This causes her to fall out of her stance, lose her base and leave openings for counter attacks. Smith’s punches will find their mark, but she’s not a power puncher. She likes the “war of attrition” style where she stands in the pocket and eats punches to give a couple back. Going shot for shot with Cyborg is like going shot for shot with my Uncle Joe -- you’re going to go to sleep.

Cyborg by first-round TKO.



RONALDO SOUZA VS. VITOR BELFORT

That brings us to Ronaldo “Jacare” Souza and Vitor Belfort. A split decision loss to Yoel Romero ended Jacare’s eight-fight win streak. That may have slowed his path to a title shot, but he could regain a lot of momentum with a win here. Belfort could also accelerate his path to another title shot. After losing to then-champion Chris Weidman at UFC 187, Belfort punctuated his Dan Henderson trilogy with a blistering first-round knockout in November.

Belfort may be the underdog in this fight, but there are a lot of similarities between this fight and the Henderson one. Yes, Hendo doesn’t have the submission prowess of Jacare, but they both rely on their right hand. It’s a dangerous weapon, but it can become a crutch. That’s part of the reason why he only lands 43.4% of his significant strikes. Both fighters are very patient and will wait to explode. This plays into Belfort’s strengths since he’s not exactly known for his endurance (only two of his last ten fights have made it out of the first round and none of them have gone to a decision).

The 39-year-old phenom pulls the upset with the second round TKO.




FABRICO WERDUM VS. STIPE MIOCIC

Time for the main event! Fabricio Werdum cemented himself as the heavyweight champion with his third-round submission win over Cain Velasquez at UFC 188. He has 10 career submission victories, but he’s rounded out his skill set to become a total threat. After losing to Junior Dos Santos, Miocic has strung together back to back wins over Mark Hunt and Andrei Arlovski.

After watching the film, this fight is much closer than I initially fought. This fight plays into each fighter’s strengths on the feet. Miocic is a much better counter puncher than aggressor (he leaves a lot of openings when he moves forward) and Werdum does much better moving forward than countering. Werdum leads with his jab well, but leaves it hanging on the retreat, which could play to Miocic’s right hand. Miocic, on the other hand, doesn’t tighten his guard in the clinch and could eat some big knees from Werdum.

Miocic once relied solely on his cardio and boxing to win fights. While he still doesn’t have the most diverse striking attack, his fight against Mark Hunt showed how he’s improved his MMA wrestling. Werdum willingly lets himself get taken down because he has so much belief in his guard. I don’t think that Miocic can hold Werdum down, but timely counter strikes and opportune takedown attempts will make Stipe Miocic the new heavyweight champion via unanimous decision.

Finally, Ohio will have something to celebrate.

Light Heavyweight bout: Corey Anderson (-240) vs Mauricio “Shogun” Rua (+200)

Gabe’s Thoughts:
If both fighters show up on top of their games with zero issues going into the fight, I would say Anderson uses his superior wrestling to grind Rua out for at least two out of three rounds for a unanimous decision win on the judges’ scorecards. That said, there could be other factors involved, such as this being Anderson’s first time traveling somewhere as far as Brazil for a fight. I think there is a good chance Anderson won’t be 100% going into this fight and Rua would be close to it. I would not be surprised to see Rua pull this one out on the judges’ scorecards, but I think he is more likely to knock Anderson out. To coclude, I think Anderson winningt his fight on the judges’ scorecards is the most likely outcome, but I see “Shogun” as a live dog and think he is worth a small play at his current offering price of +200.


Gabe’s Call: Anderson by Unanimous Decision (30-27, 30-27, 30-27)

Gabe’s Recommended Play:
Rua (+200) 1u to win 2u





Bantamweight bout: John Lineker (-160) vs Rob Font (+140)

Gabe’s Thoughts:
I believe Font is the suprerior mixed martial artist heading into this 135-pound contest and I see him using his superior fight IQ to technically outstrike Lineker on the feet while mixing in some takedowns en route to picking up a unanimous decision victory on the judges’ scorecards following three rounds of action. I could see him finding a finish along the way but I think a win on the judges’ scorecards is more likely. I think Font should be a -230 betting favorite heading into this bantamweight match-up, so I love him for a big play at the his underdog price tag of +165.


Gabe’s Call: Font by Unanimous Decision (30-27, 30-27, 30-27)

Gabe’s Recommended Play:
Font (+140) 5u to win 7u
