UFC 46: Supernatural Preview
Conclusions
Jan 27, 2004
So two UFC titles could change hands on the eve of Super Bowl XXXVIII. It is a rematch 7 years in the making between fighters far different than those who met at UFC 15. Sims and Mir meet again…and hopefully we have an outcome this time. Newcomers St. Pierre, Curran, Murray and especially Verissimo get big tests. Overall it should be a solid event and hopefully we are getting a little bit closer to strapping belts around fighters in the two divisions without champions. Enjoy the fights!
To recap my picks are:
- Parisyan over St. Pierre by submission in the 1st Rd
- Murray over Rivera by TKO in the 2nd Rd
- Newton over Verissimo by decision after the 3rd Rd
- Franca over Thomson by submission in the 3rd Rd
- Curran over Serra by decision after the 3rd Rd
- Sims over Mir by TKO in the 2nd Rd
- Hughes over Penn by TKO in the 2nd Rd
- Couture over Belfort by TKO in the 3rd Rd
