UFC 88: Breakthrough - Prediction Competition

‘The Iceman’ Chuck Liddell is back to face his biggest challenge yet…… Rashad Evans!

Strange fight for Chuck to take after beating Wandy Silva, considering that a victory over Rashad would do very little to fuel his effort to regain the light-heavyweight title, and losing would mean he’d have to start seriously considering retirement, but there you go. I’m expecting a few Liddell R1 KO predictions for that one.

The Rich Franklin v Matt Hamill fight poses a similar set of circumstances for Franklin - winning won’t do much to enhance his reputation, but losing could be a big setback. And Hamill is a tough hombre.

So, predictions please, ladies and gents. Rules stay the same; 5 points for picking the winner, an additional 3 for the finishing method and 1 for the round.

Wes is still miles ahead on the leaderboard, Leo is in second place and Derek in third.

The event can be seen live on Setanta Sports 1 at 3am on Sunday morning, and is repeated at 10pm Sunday on Setanta Sports 2.

Main Card
Chuck Liddell Vs. Rashad Evans
Rich Franklin Vs. Matt Hamill
Karo Parisyan Vs. Yoshiyuki Yoshida
Dan Henderson Vs. Rousimar Palhares
Martin Kampmann Vs. Nate Marquardt
