Injuries to Anthony Pettis and Josh Koscheck (which also resulted in Demian Maia being pulled from the card) have made the UFCs fourth trip to Brazil this year a very lackluster one. Speaking of Pettis, Jordan is doing his best impression of the former WEC champ and staying off the UFC 163 predictions as Im riding solo once again. As always you can hit me up on twitter @LynchOnSports if you “Agree” or “Disagree” with my picks or leave your opinions in the comments section below. Jose Aldo vs Chang Sung Jung (Featherweight title fight) James Lynch, TSN.ca (@LynchOnSports): The UFC featherweight champion looks to remain undefeated inside the octagon as he squares off with the entertaining "Korean Zombie" on Saturday night. Original title challenger Anthony "Showtime" Pettis bowed out due to injury earlier this month, giving way to the 26-year old having this opportunity of a lifetime. Many pundits were critical of the decision to put Jung in the title fight, but clearly his exciting style and his international fan base aided in UFC matchmaker Joe Silvas decision to book this match up. Stylistically this should be an exciting match up, with both fighters known for their exceptional standup skills while also being well versed on the mat. Physically Jung holds a slight height and reach advantage, but the question is can he utilize that against the very speedy Nova Unio product. No doubt Jung will also have to be aware of Aldos powerful leg kicks, something previous opponents Frankie Edgar and Urijah Faber had trouble with. The other issue is his time on the sidelines; generally fighters enduring long layoffs in between fights dont perform well. Consider if the fight heads into the championship rounds, will the Taekwondo black belt have the cardio to keep up? I dont see it happening. Aldo should have every advantage in this fight and this should be his fight to lose. I see the Brazilian Jiu-jitsu black belt finding his range in the second, and knocking out the Korean Zombie. Aldo via second round knockout Lyoto Machida vs. Phil Davis This matchup is a bit of a head scratcher in terms of the landscape of the 205-pound division. Since losing to Jon Jones at the end of 2011, the Machida has taken out two top light heavyweight contenders in Ryan Bader and Dan Henderson (a close decision, but he still won). Instead of a title shot, the Brazilian fights Davis which is a considerable step down. The 28-year-old Davis has one edge in this fight and thats his wrestling, being a former NCAA Division I wrestler at Penn State. The Blackhouse member however proved that he can neutralize takedowns against top wrestlers, in his wins over Bader and Henderson. Bottom line, this is Machidas fight to lose and while I dont think he will finish the Alliance MMA fighter, hell certainly out strike Davis on route to a unanimous decision victory. Machida via unanimous decision Cezar Ferreira vs. Thiago Santos Unless you had the patience to watch the entire two seasons of TUF Brazil on Youtube with subtitles, dont worry if youre scratching your head as to who either of these fighters are. Ferreira won the first season of TUF Brazil in the middleweight tournament and has trained mainly with UFC middleweight standout Vitor Belfort. Fellow Brazilian Santos participated on the second season of TUF Brazil, losing to finalist William Macario in the elimination rounds. Ferreria clearly is the more well rounded fighter and considering Santos is moving up in weight to take this fight on short notice, the edge has to go to the 28-year-old Brazilian jiu-jitsu blackbelt. I see the Ultimate Fighter winner landing more strikes over three rounds and having his hand raised at the end. Ferreira via unanimous decision Thales Leites vs. Tom Watson Four years is a long time, but the wait is finally over for former UFC middleweight title challenger Leites who returns to the octagon to face off with former BAMMA middleweight champ Watson. Winning six of his last seven fights has earned the 31-year old Brazilian his UFC homecoming and no doubt hell be looking to put on a show in front of his home country. The English fighter Watson meanwhile bounced back from a split decision loss to Brad Tavares in his UFC debut, knocking out Stanislav Nedkov back in February. This is a classic matchup between standup fighter and grappler, with Leites having 13 submission victories in 20 fights. While no doubt this should be a competitive matchup, a slight edge has to be given to Watson who has been very active inside the cage compared to the Brazilian who hasnt fought since March of last year. Watson should be able to keep this fight standing and out point the Brazilian Jiu-jitsu black belt over three rounds. Watson via unanimous decision John Lineker vs. Jose Tome With flyweight champ Demetrious Johnson dispatching yet another title challenger this past weekend at UFC on FOX 8, this matchup between a pair of fellow countrymen could produce the next contender in the 125-pound division. Despite Tomes stellar 33-3 record, I see the former Jungle Fight bantamweight champ using his superior striking and speed over three rounds to stop his foe sometime in the third round for his fourth straight victory. Lineker via third round TKO Undercard Picks: Maglahes, Nunes, Moares, McCall, Yahya, Oliveira, Andrade Also be sure to tune into the “Weigh-In” on TSN Radio 1290 Winnipeg every Saturday as myself (@LynchOnSports) and Jordan Cieciwa (@FitCityJordan) go toe to toe in discussing the hottest topics in Mixed Martial Arts.

Air Max Günstig Schweiz . -- San Francisco 49ers linebacker Ahmad Brooks was fined $15,570 by the NFL on Wednesday for his hit on Saints quarterback Drew Brees last Sunday. Fantasy owners can heave a sigh of relief now that the two worst bye weeks have passed.Make certain you have replacements for any Colts, Bills, Lions and Raiders starters on your roster for Week 10. Overall, the waiver wire is still quite thin this week but with the fantasy playoffs just a few weeks away, you should be looking for some players on teams with favorable matchups scheduled during Weeks 13-16.With that in mind, here are some players to consider for Week 10 and beyond.JAY CUTLER (QB, Bears)After missing five games, Cutler returned in Week 8 and completed 20 of 31 pass attempts for 252 yards and a touchdown against a tough Vikings defense. This week, the Bears face the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, whose defense has allowed an average of 281 passing yards per game and 18 passing touchdowns. Only four teams have allowed more fantasy points to quarterbacks this season, making Cutler a good streaming choice or bye week replacement for Matt Stafford, Derek Carr or Andrew Luck owners.JOE FLACCO (QB, Ravens)Flacco is coming off a solid Week 9 performance in which the Ravens pulled off a stunning upset of the Steelers. Week 10 should be much easier for Flacco since hell be facing a Cleveland Browns defense that has allowed an average of 275 passing yards per game and a whopping 22 passing touchdowns. Only one team (Falcons) has allowed more passing touchdowns and only five teams have fewer sacks than the Browns (14). Last weeks return of WR Steve Smith was another positive that will only help Flacco perform better going forward.ROBERT KELLEY (RB, Redskins)Redskins coach Jay Gruden has anointed Kelley as the lead running back and stated that Matt Jones must earn his way back into the starting job. Kelley was sharp during his Week 8 debut as the starter, rushing for 87 yards and a touchdown with his 21 carries. As long as he gets the bulk of the work, hell be a worthwhile flex option.KAPRI BIBBS (RB, Broncos)Since C.J. Anderson was placed on injured reserve, the Broncos rushing attack has floundered. Over the last two games, Devontae Booker has averaged just 2.6 yards per carry. Bibbs turned a short screen pass into a 69-yard touchdown against the Raiders, which was enough to earn him more of the workload going forward. At the very least, the Broncos will make this more a running back committee and if Booker continues to struggle, Bibbs could end up getting the majority of the touches.PEYTON BARBER (RB, Buccaneers)Antone Smith (knee) joined the ranks of the injured Bucs running backs and was placed on injured reserve. Jacquizz Rodgers (ankle) is still sidelined and Doug Martin (hamstring) has yet to return to practice. However, Martin is expected to practice sometime this week and perhaps start the Week 10 game. If Martin doesnt return, Barber will be the starter. Hes worth a roster spot in the event he ends up as the last man standing in the Bucs backfield.KENNETH DIXON (RB, Ravens)Current starting running back Terrance West has averaged just 1.3 yards per carry over the last two games and hasnt done anything noticeable in tthe passing game.dddddddddddd. The Ravens Week 10 game against the Browns could be the breakout game for Dixon that weve all been waiting for. The Browns have allowed an average of 146 rushing yards per game with a dozen rushing touchdowns. Dixon is a must-own handcuff to West and hes worth a roster spot in case he gets the starting role.RONNIE HILLMAN (RB, Vikings)The Vikings offense is in disarray and the rushing attack has suffered due to injuries on the offensive line. Jerick McKinnon has averaged just 1.3 yards per carry over the last three games and Matt Asiata is struggling as well. Hillman has received an increasing number of touches over the last three games and could see more action out of the backfield in the passing game. The Vikings have a very favorable schedule during Weeks 13-16, and Hillman could be getting 10-15 touches per game by then. Hes worth stashing with an open roster spot.JAMES STARKS (RB, Packers)Starks is expected back on the practice field this week. While Ty Montgomery has filled in admirably as a running back, the Packers would undoubtedly like to have a true RB in there. Starks can handle a workload of 20-25 carries per game if hes completely healthy. Hes no more than a flex option, though.STEVE SMITH (WR, Ravens)There is no question that Smith is QB Joe Flaccos go to receiver, especially on third down. Just his presence on the field seems to make the Ravens pass attack better. You can count on Smith to get five to 10 targets in any game, and with the lowly Browns as the opponent this week, Smith will be busy. The Browns have allowed 12 touchdowns and an average of 24.1 fantasy points per game to opposing wide receivers.DONTRELLE INMAN (WR, Chargers)Travis Benjamin aggravated the sprained ligament in his knee and played just eight snaps in Week 9 before leaving. Inman was the primary beneficiary in that he ended up being targeted nine times; he caught six passes for 56 yards. Benjamin could be held out of Week 10 since the Chargers have a Week 11 bye, thereby giving him an extended rest. If so, Inman could be a flex consideration for Week 10.LANCE KENDRICKS (TE, Rams)Kendricks has received 29 targets over the last three games, 12 in the Week 9 matchup against the Panthers. Without a doubt, Kendricks has become one of Case Keenums favorite receivers. The Rams have matchups against the Falcons in Week 14 and the 49ers in Week 16. Those favorable matchups during the fantasy playoffs make Kendricks worth stashing.RICHARD RODGERS (TE, Packers)Rodgers was targeted 10 times in Week 9 and ended up with six receptions for 64 yards, his best game of the season. The Packers have several favorable matchups against teams that allow significantly more fantasy points to tight ends over the next six weeks, making Rodgers another good player to stash if youre thin at tight end.---This column was provided to The Associated Press by the Fantasy Sports Network, http://FNTSY.com ' ' '
