Hopefully there's no injuries in the next 6 days...
Main Card
Heavyweight Bout: Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira vs Cain Velasquez - I've been going both ways on this one. I know a lot of people are expecting Nog to get outwrestled but pull out the sub, but I'm backing Velasquez to avoid the subs and get a decision. I'm kind of hoping for a stand up battle though.
Middleweight Bout: Wanderlei Silva vs Michael Bisping - Can't go against Wanderlei here. I hope he provides some fireworks but Bisping is no mug. His stupid gameplan made him look like one against Henderson, but I think he'll be ready here. Still, Wanderlei TKO Round 2.
Lightweight Bout: Joe Stevenson vs George Sotiropoulos - I really hope I get this wrong but Stevenson is a huge test for George. They both looked awesome in their last fights but I'm going Stevenson decision.
Light Heavyweight Bout: Keith Jardine vs Ryan Bader - Big step up for Bader but he should be too much for Jardine. His wrestling should overwhelm Jardine and he has huge power in his hands, and we all know about Jardine's chin. TKO Rd 2.
Heavyweight Bout: Mirko Filipovic vs Ben Rothwell - Imagine this fight 5 years ago. Rothwell probably wouldn't still be fighting if he had faced prime Cro Cop. But he's in with a real chance here. Well maybe not real, but if Cro Cop is as slow and gun-shy as his last fight, he could get a decision. Holding out hope for Cro Cop LHK Round 1.
Undercard
Light Heavyweight Bout: Elvis Sinosic vs Chris Haseman - Haha dunno about this one. Hopefully we get a nice ground battle.
Light Heavyweight Bout: Stephan Bonnar vs Krzysztof Soszynski - Toss up but I think Bonnar has slight advantages everywhere. If I'm wrong, it's probably the end of his UFC career.
Welterweight Bout: Chris Lyttle vs Brian Foster - Lyttle caus I love him.
Middleweight Bout: C.B Dollaway vs Goran Reljic - Dollaway will avoid the stand up you'd think but Reljic is dangerous on the ground. Dollaway has a habit of getting caught too so he'll have to be careful. Intriguing battle against two talented youngsters.
Light Heavyweight Bout: James Te-Huna vs Igor Pokrajac - I saw Te-Huna a few years ago against Lombard in Geelong but he didn't show much before he hurt his shoulder. Big chance for him here though.
This should be a pretty decent event and I hope all those going have a great time.
