George Sotiropoulos Authentic Phil Kessel Jersey was the following popular trend. He was 14-2 headed into his last match at UFC 127 coupled with reeled off 7 straight victories in the UFC. This rising star from Down Under had defeated an impressive array of battle tested veterans including George Roop, Joe Stevenson, Kurt Pellegrino and Joe Lauzon. It appeared as though UFC journeyman and all around tough guy Dennis Siver only agreed to be another inside a type of lightweights to become stood up and taken down by the world class BJJ artist. But a funny thing happened. Siver stuffed every takedown attempt and rocked Sotiropoulos twice in the 1st round on the way to a unanimous decision victory within the seemingly invincible G-Sot. Siver may also be featured in UFC 132 in a combat Matt Wiman.

Rafael dos Anjos is, like Sotiropoulos, a proficient BJJ artist and it has amassed half his 14 victories by submission. He happens to be 3-3 in the UFC with losses to Jeremy Stephens by knockout, a unanimous decision loss to Tyson Griffin and his newest loss to Clay Guida by submission. Against Guida, dos Anjos actually entered due to pain from the jaw injury he sustained. It isn't often we see an MMA fighter tap out because of pain but that is apparently what went down.

Both these males are accomplished in the earth game nor has knockout power with only 2 KO's combined. Therefore, we should Authentic Nicklas Lidstrom Jersey take a look at how these two stack up when the fight hits the Authentic Alex Tanguay Jersey mat that is certainly where it is destined. Sotiropoulos includes a decided edge but dos Anjos's camp may already have conceded just as much. If that's the case, their strategy is to employ dos Anjos's Kick boxing and rock the talented Aussie before the fight goes to the ground. If it worked for Siver, why don't you for dos Anjos?

The main Wholesale NHL Jerseys reason it won't work for dos Anjos is that he doesn't hold the fierce striking ability of a Dennis Siver. His Kick boxing may get G-Sot's attention but it won't be well before both are twisting and activating the canvas. As good as Sotiropoulos' ground game is, he'll Authentic Patrick Kane Jersey find it very hard to submit dos Anjos. I believe this will be a technical match (read boring) that will ultimately be decided in Sotiropoulos' favor. George is favored in the UFC betting odds, listed at -360, and UFC bettors should expect this one to go to the judges to have an easy decision.

My Pick: G-Sot by decision.

Melvin Guillard (27-8-2 with 1 No Contest) vs. Shane Roller (10-3)

At 28 years of age, Melvin Guillard may be three years Roller's junior but he's got much more MMA miles on him than his elder. Melvin Guillard has been fighting steadily in the big leagues of mixed martial arts since making his debut in the UFC at TUF 2 in 2005. He has compiled a respectable 9-4 record in the UFC and it is currently enjoying a four fight win streak together with his latest victim, Evan Dunham, succumbing via TKO due to a fusillade of punches and knees.

Guillard has always been immensely talented and athletic. Perhaps so much so that he has often taken his talent as a given and lost his focus in fights he should have won. He has recently been burnishing his mat game by practicing judo and BJJ that ought to help him to avoid the triangle and guillotine chokes that have been the bane of his MMA existence. Of his 8 losses, seven came by means of submission.

Shane Roller is really a wrestler by trade, a 3 time All-American at Oklahoma State University, and earning money in the WEC within the last Black Tory Burch Totes three years. He is primarily a submission specialist with 6 of his 10 wins in that fashion though he is doing have knockout power as evidenced by his destruction of Thiago Tavares in the UFC debut. However, two of his three losses came by TKO so he's susceptible to getting caught himself.

This match should be a contrast in styles. If Guillard gets frisky and attempts to go to the ground with Roller, he'll be in danger. However, if his takedown defense Gold Tory Burch Wedges is stout, he will no doubt be considered a huge problem for Roller.
