Not a very good event prediction wise for UFC 152, the dog's were howlin' but I made some bad calls either way.
Last event: 4 - 8
YTD: 53 - 30
Jason Young vs. Robbie Peralta
Preliminary Card | Featherweight | 145 lbs (65.8 kg)
Tough fight to cap. I picked Young in Whipton's thread but I think I'll change my mind and go with Peralta via decision.
DaMarques Johnson vs. Gunnar Nelson
Preliminary Card | Catchweight | 175 lbs (79.4 kg)
Good on DaMarques stepping up up on late notice, tons of respect for the dude and I hate picking against him. This is Gunnar's first fight in the UFC but he has been around combat sports from a very young age. He picked up Goju-ryu Karate at age 13 and how holds black-belts in both BJJ and Goju-ryu. DaMarques has a height and reach advantage as well as possessing some pretty feisty and underrated take-down defense. Gunnar's specialty is BJJ as he received his black belt from Renzo Gracie in 2009. Johnson's offensive grappling has always been underrated but he is prone to submission loses as he has 6 defeats by way of catch. Lots of unknowns in this fight, but gun to my head I'll drink the kool aid and go with Gunnar via positional ground and pound TKO in the 2nd.
