Five Finger Death Punch Guitarist Makes UFC 111 Picks
There's no denying that MMA has a wide fan base. From blue collar to white collar to actors, athletes and musicians alike, MMA appeals like no other.So it is no surprise that with UFC 111's intriguing match-ups, that some of the sport's more famous fans are lining up to give their opinions.
One such fan is Zoltan Bathory, founder and guitarist of heavy metal standouts Five Finger Death Punch and co-owner of MMA clothing line Alphadog Combat Gear.
Bathory recently told MMAInsider that when it comes to the evening's main event between UFC welterweight champion Georges St. Pierre and Dan Hardy, his money - literally - is riding on the champ.
"If I had to bet on it, I would say it is going to be GSP winning this," announced Bathory.
"I know Dan Hardy has been aligned with Matt Serra, (but I) think he is talking a little too much for this (fight). This is a 50/50 (type match-up), but I tend to think that GSP will come out on top."
Bathory is also intrigued by the evening's heavyweight title eliminator fight between former champion Frank Mir and top contender Shane Carwin.
"That is going to be another interesting one because I think Frank really wants to get back at Lesnar," commented Bathory. "He is more likely not even focusing on this fight - it's like he's focused on getting back to the title."
While Bathory senses Mir's ultimate motivations may be elsewhere, he still bets that the hunger Mir has for returning to the title picture will drive him to come out on top.
"Of course you can't (look past) Shane Carwin - he's no joke and you can't really (disrespect) the guy - but I would put my money on Frank in that one though."
