UFC 99 Pick Recap
By Matt D. | June 14, 2009
Spencer Fisher defeats Caol Uno by unanimous decision
I picked Caol Uno. I’m calling shenanigans on this one. Both MMAWeekly.com and Sherdog.com had Caol Uno winning by decision, but the judges in Germany didn’t see it that way.
Mirko Cro Cop defeats Mostapha Al-turk by 1st round TKO
I liked Al-turk in this one. It was an iffy pick, and it didn’t end up paying off.
Cain Velasquez defeats Cheick Kongo by unanimous decision
I liked the undefeated Velasquez in this contest. Kongo had Velasquez hurt a few times, but he was never able to take advantage of it. Velasquez won this bout handily.
Rich Franklin defeats Wanderlei Silva by unanimous decision
I picked Franklin. This fight was closer than I thought it would be (Sherdog.com actually had Silva winning by split decision). Franklin ended up being about a -150 favorite when the fight started, and I thought he would look more dominant than he did. But he won, so how much can I really complain?
Although my picks didn’t turn a profit I am still happy with them. If the Uno decision would have gone the other way everything would have turned out fine.
