Strikeforce: "Destruction" Predictions

Yves Edwards vs. Duane Ludwig

Both fighters love to stand and slug it out. This fight will not make it past the first round, look for Ludwig to show case his powerful and accurate striking over Edwards.

Pats Prediction:

Ludwig comes in on short notice with a first round KO.
Ludwig vs. Edwards odds

Renato “Babalu” Sobral vs. Bobby Southworth

This will finally be Babalu’s chance to grasp a title belt he has fought and trained so hard for over the years. It is no UFC title, but I’m sure hell still be happy to capture. Southworth is very well rounded and has tremendous heart, but this will not be his night. Babalu will come into this fight  and over whelm Southworth wherever he fight may end up.

Pats Prediction

Babalu with a fairly easy unanimous decision.                    
Sobral vs. Southworth odds

Joe Riggs vs. Luke Stewart

Riggs has been through a lot in his career and I see this fight being one more to add to his list. Stewart is not a mainstream name, but will bring this fight to Riggs. I see Stewart avoiding big shots by the Diesel and wearing him out into the third round going in for the kill.

Pats Prediction

Im picking Stewart for the upset victory, with a third round rear naked choke victory.
Riggs vs. Stewart odds
