Predicted
By Dakota Grabowski

Grey Dog Software title used to
simulate bouts 

The UFC is putting on their 20th
Fight Night card in Fairfax, Virginia tonight, so we thought it would be
appropriate to predict the winners of the main and co-main event via Grey Dog
Software’s World of Mixed Martial Arts 2 simulator.

To officially simulate the matches
that are being put forth tonight, we had to download the Modern Warriors 5.0
mod, which was created by their user Tag01.

The main event and co-main event
from the televised card looks as such:

Gray Maynard (8-0-1) vs. Nate
Diaz (11-4)

  • Gray Maynard is the #9 Lightweight
    in the world via MMAWeekly.com and #6 at Sherdog.com

  • Reportedly, Maynard will be in
    consideration for a title match against B.J. Penn if he wins tonight.

  • Nate Diaz was the winner of The
    Ultimate Fighter 5 and beat Gray Maynard through the exhibition match process.

Efrain Escudero (12-0) vs. Evan
Dunham (9-0)

  • Efrain Escudero won The Ultimate
    Fighter 8 Lightweight and has nine wins via submission.

  • Evan Dunham recently defeated
    veteran, Marcus Aurelio, at UFC 102.

So let’s get to the action and see
who the determined winners for tonight’s contests are.
