UFC 123 Predictions Results: I was 77-48-1 coming and was hoping to continue the momentum of UFC 122 but failed pretty bad. There was a lot of TKO’s which was exciting. I think Gerald Harris, and Tyson Griffin’s decision were the biggest disappointments of tonight. As well as my predictions. I went 4-7 which in my books is just as bad as going 0-11. Now my total is 81-55-1. I will hope to pick myself up at the Ultimate Fighter 12 Finale.
