Its Not in the Bluegrass But Here is Our UFC 129 Predictions

We are dedicated to Kentucky MMA. No doubt about that. However from time to time we have to pay our respects to those that have paved the way for Bluegrass fighters and fight companies to even be relevant. UFC 129 may be one of the biggest shows in UFC history. 55,000 tickets sold for an event of any type is enough to draw mass attention in the media but for this to be an MMA fight is unprecedented. The UFC was purchased by Zuffa for $2 million and the gate alone for this show is $11 million. This should be a great card too. GSP has been downplaying Jake Shields' underdog status. Randy Couture's retirement match versus Lyoto Machida should be a great battle. Jason "The Athlete" McDonald versus Ryan Jensen will be a war as well!

So here Big Dump Daddy's main card predictions, short and sweet.

Mark Bocek vs Ben Henderson -  Henderson via submission

Randy Couture vs Lyoto Machida - Couture win a unanimous decision

Vladimir Matyshenko vs Jason Brilz-  Brilz wins via KO

Featherweight Champion Jose Aldo vs Mark Hominick -  Aldo wins via KO

Welterweight Champion Georges St. Pierre vs Jake Shields - GSP wins via TKO

Main Event - Jason McDonald vs Ryan Jensen - McDonald wins via submission and title shot at Anderson Silva

Ok I may have fudged on the Main Event but by far one of my favorite fighters of all time is "The Athlete". McDonald is a warrior who has fought to 3 Submission of the Night and 1 KO of the Night bonuses.

There you have it. My picks on one of the biggest shows in MMA history.
