UFC Fight Night Results Predictions For Dublin - McGregor Vs Brandao

4. Norman Parke Vs. Naoyuki Kotani

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fzsrEjq61YM Weight Class: Lightweight Opening the main card of UFC Fight Night: McGregor vs. Brandao in Dublin is Northern Ireland's Norman Parke (19-2-1), winner of The Ultimate Fighter: The Smashes. Parke will be taking on the returning Naoyuki Kotani (33-10-7), who is coming back to the UFC after going 0-2 in his first run in the promotion back in 2007. Parke is undefeated in the UFC, with the lone blemish on his UFC record being a draw in a recent fight due to a point deduction for holding his opponent's shorts. Kotani, meanwhile, is on a 13-fight win streak dating back to September 2010. There's a bit of an asterisk there however, as many of those bouts came in the rather wacky ZST organisation, that allows things like tag-team MMA matches (seriously, look this up on Youtube). He also has a rather high number of draws (7) most of which came under the ZST banner. Parke should be able to pick up the win here. Kotani has only won once outside of his native Japan, and this will be the biggest step up for him in a while. As long as Parke avoids Kotani's dangerous submission arsenal (the Japanese fighter has 25 submission victories in his career), he takes a TKO in the second.
