Dlo’s Fight Prediction Record: 4-1
Uriah Hall vs Anderson Silva
Talk about a dud… there I said it. This main event will be a slow and boring affair. Long gone are the days of
Anderson Silva marching forward with his hands down, dipping and dodging punches. Both fighters are
not known as high volume strikers, and more known for picking/choosing their spots. Especially
in Hall’s case, looking for the highlight reel knockout. I think what we will see is basically a low volume
kickboxing match, where whoever lands the more damaging blows, will take home the decision.
Anderson’s whole game has always been his speed a precision, which at this point in his career, has
completely evaporated. Look for Hall to stay patient and land enough significant strikes to take home
the boring decision.
The Pick: Hall by UD
Bryce Mitchell vs Andre Fili
This is an interesting fight as Fili looks to once again break into the Featherweight rankings. This fight
really comes down to who can dictate where the fight will take place. Bryce Mitchell has excellent
takedowns and has an exciting ground game, with his BJJ black belt. Fili is the far superior striker
with powerful kicks, and his ability to switch stance, can present many problems for fighters. Fili has just
been too inconsistent throughout his career for me to have any trust in him. Mitchell has enough power
in his hands to at least be respected on the feet until he can score a takedown. I do think he will
eventually catch Fili against the cage, and score a takedown, where Fili is in big trouble. Look for Mitchell
to try and score yet another twister submission finish.
The Pick: Bryce Mitchell 2nd Round Sub
Maurice Greene vs Greg Hardy
This is a tough fight to call Maurice Greene is extremely slow, but is very good in the clinch and on the
ground. Greg Hardy is starting to find his way as a fighter. He is a super athlete with superior
speed to the rest of the heavyweight division. It will be interesting to see the improvements he has
made in his game since his last fight in May. If Hardy is able to stay away from the clinch and off the
canvas, I think he will be able to use his speed and power to score a devasting highlight reel KO.
The Pick: Hardy 1st Round KO
