TUF 10 Episode 3: The Prediction

Due to everyone else being busy, the big wigs at WKR (a.k.a Zak) have me writing the recap of tonight's TUF episode.  I feel like the Maury Show.  You may have started watching because there was nothing else (alright, I watched that too) on t.v. during the daytime, but you will grow to love me, I mean Maury.

Prior to me writing the recap tonight I wanted to throw my two cents in about the big fight.  For an in depth preview of the fight you can check out Spencer's piece from earlier today.  If someone was asked before the season who would win Kimbo vs. Nelson you would have been hard pressed to find a knowledgeable fan that picked Kimbo.  Kimbo has shown us nothing new, except a screenshot from Spike/UFC and that has changed everything dramatically. 

Kimbo has spoken highly of his performance, we have the screen shots, but Nelson has tweeted how happy he was to fight Kimbo.  So, we still know nothing.  The UFC and Spike have done an excellent job promoting hyping this fight.  They have provided hope and promise for a fighter most had expected to lose.

So, with all the excitement over tonight I want to express my prediction.  Nelson should and will win this fight.  I do not buy into the rumors that Kimbo comes out on top.  I think a more likely outcome is that this is a great fight where a loss actually helps Kimbo, a la Jon Fitch vs. St. Pierre, Belcher vs. Akiyama, etc...  Then again Roy might try and stand with Kimbo a la Martin Kampmann.  Check out the recap to see if I put my foot in my mouth or toast my intellect (there is a first time for everything).
