A regular segment on The Fight Network’s original TV series’ “Before The Bell” and “After The Bell,” Randy Couture has his “Natural Picks” for this Saturday’s UFC 76 “Knockout” - live from the Honda Center in Anaheim, Calif. - locked in.
Here’s what the expert analyst is predicting:
Light Heavyweight : Chuck Liddell (20-4) vs. Keith Jardine (11-4) – LIDDELL
"Somebody’s going down in this one, more than likely Jardine. I think the knockout will come in the first or second, depends on Chuck. If he’s a little tentative at first it may take him a little longer. Jardine’s gonna wade in. That’s what he does.”
---------------------------------
Light Heavyweight: Forrest Griffin (14-4) vs. Mauricio “Shogun” Rua (16-2) – GRIFFIN
“I think he’s going to beat him every round. I just think the rules are different, and there’s a few other factors I’m not going to bring to light right now.”
---------------------------------
Welterweight: Jon Fitch (19-2-1) vs. Diego Sanchez (19-1)
“Diego makes me pay every time I go against him, but I’m gonna go with Fitch.”
--------------------------------
Light Heavyweight: Lyoto Machida (10-0) vs. Kazuhiro Nakamura (11-6) – MACHIDA
“Machida’s gonna beat him up.”
----------------------------------
Lightweight: Tyson Griffin (9-1) vs. Thiago Tavares (16-0) - GRIFFIN
“Tyson’s going beat him, It’s going to be the fight of the night again. It’s going to be a brawl.”
