Fight Predictions for UFC on FX: Belfort vs. Bisping

Are you ready for a busy weekend? I’m not. Our plans are to sleep in Saturday morning, wake up and lay in bed half the day and probably watch a movie together while the kids play oh-so-nice together for a few hours. I think we will be going over to Matt and Kacey’s house to celebrate Matts birthday that was Wednesday the 16^th and then probably end up watching UFC on FX at their place.

Regardless of our low key Saturday, it should prove to have a good ending. Vitor Belfort is fighting Michael Bisping on FX for FREE – Yepp, that’s the best part, free money. 

Thought about hitting up Big Ryan (RyKno) and seeing if he wanted to hit Hooters on Mill Ave for the fights but the truth is, I’m just getting over a cold, Matt is just getting over a cold, Lucas just came down with a cough and Ashlyn has been coughing for a month or so now..

So, to the point of the post – Fight Prediction:

Vitor Belfort VS Michael Bisping

To start off, Vitor is old – but still has some fast hands. Bisping is coming off a win over Brian Stann which was pretty controversial. Vitor has way more experience than Bisping but to his credit, Bisping has had over 15 fights in the UFC spotlight since his first appearance in The Ultimate Fighter in 2006. Also, Vitor is a bit more hungry than Bisping since he is coming fresh off a loss last September to current UFC light heavyweight champion Jon Jones. Vitor has won 7 of his last 10 fights only losing to Dan Henderson, Anderson Silva and as mentioned current champ Jones.

Projected Winner: Vitor Belfort, Round 3, TKO

Daniel Sarafian VS C.B. Dollaway

I didn’t watch too much of this seasons TUF so I don’t know too much about Daniel Sarafian other than he is coming into this fight with C.B. with four consecutive wins and looking to make his way up the middleweight ladder with Anderson Silva in sight. He will have to win a few more fights before he gets there but if he continues to get his hand raised, he will make it soon enough. I like C.B. Dollaway, met him on Mill Avenue once a few years ago at the old library. Though he hasn’t had the best performances in his last few fights, he did pull out a win of Jason Mayhem Miller last May, regardless, that was 9 months ago and I’m assuming he is going to come out in top shape.

Projected Winner: C.B. Dollaway, Round 2, Rear Naked Choke

Gabriel Gonzaga VS Ben Rothwell

Gabriel Gonzaga used to be a big name, many remember him for his infamous head kick KO to Mirco CroCop back in 2007, but it has been 5 years, he has lost a lot of resepect and fights including losses to Shane Carwin, Junior dos Santos and recent TUF winner Brendan Schaub. Despite Gonzaga being old, Big Ben doesn’t deserve to be in the UFC, they should have cut him after his losses to Andre Arlovski and Cain Velasquez in 2009. Maybe they paired these guys up because Rothwell beat Schaub just last year in only 1:10 seconds of the first round.

Projected Winner: Gabriel Gonzaga, Round 1, TKO

Thiago Tavares VS Khabib Nurmagomedov

To start off, Angel hates Thiago Tavares, which makes me like him even more. He is coming off a two fight win streak over notable names Sam Stout and Spencer Fisher (who I almost bought a pitbull puppy from when I lived back in Iowa). I’m pretty sure Angel doesn’t like him because when he wins, he slashes his throat with his thumb..she says he is too cocky. Nurmagomedov is from Russia and his record is 18-0. He recently beat Gleison Tibau and Kamal Shalorus…and another 16 Russian bums dating back to 2008 in events much smaller and less known than UFC, WEC, Strikeforce and Pride – basically means he was fighting people who didn’t know what the fuck they were doing and got 16 W’s from it. Tavares will be a challenge for you Nurmagomedov, get ready.

Projected Winner: Thiago Tavares, Round 3, TKO

Go ahead and comment on FB or on my blog on your thoughts, let’s see if you can go 4-0 tomorrow night, I know I will be.

About Spencer Hesseltine – A Brief Insight Into

Okay so I have had a few blogs in my lifetime but this one I have just created to make my true footprint and share insight into the SEO industry as well - it is just a huge passion of mine. This blog is connected with many of my social channels so feel free to connect with me on there, ask questions, get feedback on ideas or simply say hi.
I will not just be writing about SEO, but social media, life, sports, food and basically anything I can come up with. Before I begin ‘on the daily, on the fly’ I want to tell you a bit about myself. For quick one liners, check out about.me/spencer.hesseltine. If you become an avid reader of my blog, you will probably notice mention references to a lot of movie quotes and I seem to always use the term ‘shit’ somewhere in my posts, I just don’t know how the shit happens.

I am originally from Des Moines, IA. I moved to Phoenix, AZ when I was just 20 years of age with a good friend named Thomas Walker. Eventually he moved back to Iowa howver the first job we got in Arizona was for a local web marketing firm which I started in customer service, knowing nothing of the industry and within 5 years, I resigned with many, many marketing techniques mastered, under my belt. I have a beautiful wife, a five year old son named Lucas, a seven year old daughter named Jasmyne and expecting a third this coming May – so you may find some prego posts on this blog as well.

It seems to have a strong resonance with a movie that is popular at my house (well used to be) so I will quote it. Leave a comment if you know which movie it is, maybe in a future post I will push the answer out somewhere.

“I went into jail with a bachelors in marijuana, I came out with a doctorate in cocaine.”

Not the best quote by any means, especially to start off a new blog but it definitely fills the space I'm trying to fill. I went into the phoenix link building / web marketing firm basically knowing nothing but Microsoft office, came out with an amazing understanding of how businesses need to work, things they need to do, and objectives that need to be created to be met with high search engine rankings. Rankings are not everything, yes, front page of google is great, it will bring your website traffic, Google accounts for (on average) 80% of all website traffic.

Not getting too deep into that at this point, but I recently attended a conference in Boston called SearchLove hosted by Distitlled.com. It was a great conference. The venue was great, the people were friendly and the speakers were even better. I ended up typing up about 11 pages of notes throughout the 2 day conference.

I’m on the plane flying back from Boston now, missing my family dearly. I cannot wait to get back into the valley of the sun where there are warmer temperatures and I know how to get around town. Boston was a huge culture shock for me, haven’t been to the northeast coast before and man, I couldn’t imagine trying to learn all the streets out there. Phoenix is a grid. North – South, East – West. Easy shit. 

I think that is about it for today, I’ll be back tomorrow – on the daily, on the fly..
