The Ultimate Fighter 6 Finale Predictions

Paul Georgieff Vs. Jonathan Goulet

You have to do a double take when you see this match. What did Paul Georgieff do to Joe Silva that angered him enough to put him in their against Goulet? He’s the only TUF guy to get a fight against someone who wasn’t on TUF. Interestingly enough, Goulet has lost in all 3 of his appearances on an Ultimate Fight Night. However, he was fighting reasonable competition. Paul is inexperienced and will probably lose quickly.

Prediction: Jonathan Goulet via TKO (Rd. 1)

Roman Mitichyan Vs. Dorian Price

Roman was the crazy guy who had to leave early due to an injury. Dorian is the crazy guy who stayed and got beaten in his first fight. While they’re both crazy, Dorian seemed to be one dimensional on the show, but if you check his record he does have submission victories. Roman is relatively inexperienced, but seems to be strong with submissions, and he does seem crazier than Dorian. I’ll have to give a slight edge based on craziness to Roman.

Prediction: Roman Mitichyan via Submission (Rd. 2)

Matt Arroyo Vs. John Kolosci

I have absolutely no faith in John Kolosci. Yes, he fought twice against a far superior fighter, but the way he fights with his look of inexperience and his lack of mental toughness is enough to make you want to pick against him in any fight. Matt has great Jiu-Jitsu and John’s game is on the ground as well. John got subbed twice on the show, and will probably lose the same way here.

Prediction: Matt Arroyo via Submission (Rd. 1)

Troy Mandaloniz Vs. Richie Hightower

This should be a stand-up war. If Richie was smart he could probably take Troy to the floor and sub him, but I doubt he’ll try it. Richie is more experienced, so I’ll give him the nod.

Prediction: Richie Hightower via Decision (Rd. 3)

MAIN CARD

Ben Saunders Vs. Dan Barrera

This is a rematch of the fight they had on The Ultimate Fighter. I wasn’t impressed with Dan Barrera at all on the show, I thought his striking wasn’t that impressive, and he doesn’t listen to his coaches. Ben is mildly crazy, and I like me some crazy fighters. They fight until the death. Ben will probably take this one.

Prediction: Ben Saunders via Decision (Rd. 3)

Billy Miles Vs. George Sotiropoulos

Billy Miles folded under the pressure faster than an Origami master makes a flying crane. George will be looking to avenge his loss against Farmboy, and he’ll take it out on Billy. George should win this one easily.

Prediction: George Sotiropoulos via Submission (Rd. 1)

Jared Rollins Vs. John Koppenhaver

Jared Rollins looked like he was going to be someone contending for a shot at the contract, but put on a disappointing performance, and got his lights turned out on the show. John almost pulled out an upset against FARMBOY, but lost via decision. Rollins is more experienced, and has a better head on his shoulders. He should be able to redeem himself.

Prediction: Jared Rollins via TKO (Rd. 2)

Tommy Speer Vs. Mac Danzig

The easy pick here is Mac. By all accounts, the winner should be Mac, but Tommy has one advantage. FARMBOY STRENGTH. Tommy actually has an impressive record, and this fight will be more competitive then people think. Mac brings a lot of experience and confidence to the table, and his skill set should be enough to get him passed Tommy.

Prediction: Mac Danzig via Decision (Rd. 3)

Roger Huerta Vs. Clay Guida

No one can say that they’re protecting Huerta anymore. Unless he’s been training nothing but takedown defense and wrestling, he’s going to have a tough time with Guida. Although, I have a gut feeling that Huerta might pull this off. Maybe even by a judges decision, that have seemed to go the way of anyone, but Guida. If Huerta can keep this standing, he can win, because Guida’s stand up is pretty damn ugly, but this will be a tough task. Guida has great takedowns, a great chin, and cardio and tenacity for days. He won’t be outworked by anyone.

Prediction: Clay Guida via SPLIT Decision (Rd. 3)
