Justin "The Executioner" Levens http://www.sherdog.com/fightfinder/Pictures/Leven2.JPG vs. Jorge Santiago http://www.sherdog.com/fightfinder/Pictures/Jorge_Santiago_profile2.JPG

My Pick: Levens. Levens is as tough as nails, Anyone who takes a fight with Evan Tanner on a weeks notice is a fighter. He is prepaired to fight this time, And I see him showing his skills for the world to see. Levens TKO 2nd round.

[Immaculate]

Kris Rotharmel vs. Rob MacDonald http://www.sherdog.com/fightfinder/Pictures/Rob_Macdonald.jpg

My Pick: MacDonald. Rob is a very good greco wrestler, He should have no problem taking Kristian, And keeping him there. MacDonald 2nd round ref stoppage ground and pound.

[Immaculate]

Mark Hominick http://www.sherdog.com/fightfinder/Pictures/Mark_Hominick_profile.jpgvs. Jorge Gurgel http://www.sherdog.com/fightfinder/Pictures/Jorge_Gurgel_profile.jpg

My Pick: Homonick. I would like nothing more than for jorge to win this fight. He's a class act, and hard not to like. Considering he hasn't fought in almost 2 years, And Mark is coming off the biggest victory of his career, I'm taking Mark. Homonick KO 3rd round.

[Immaculate]

Branden Lee Hinkle http://www.sherdog.com/fightfinder/Pictures/Brandon_Leehinkle2.JPG vs. Jason Lambert http://www.sherdog.com/fightfinder/Pictures/Lambert2.JPG

My Pick: Lambert. Hinkle isn't that good, So he's pulling a Rich Franklin, And dropping 30lbs to get to LHw. That doesn't work for everyone, Lamber is used to fighting @205 so I give him the edge. Lambert TKO 2nd round.

[Immaculate]

Jon Fitch http://www.sherdog.com/fightfinder/Pictures/Jon_Fitch2.JPG vs. Thiago "Pitbull" Alves http://www.sherdog.com/fightfinder/Pictures/Thiago.JPG

My pick: Alves. Thaigo fights like his nickname would indicate, A pitbull. He never stops, Never takes a step back, And that's what I love to see from any fighter. Alves by KO 1st round.

[Immaculate]

Rashad Evans http://www.sherdog.com/fightfinder/Pictures/Evans.JPG Vs. Stephan "The american Psycho" Bonnar http://www.sherdog.com/fightfinder/Pictures/Stephan_Bonner2.JPG

My Pick: Bonnar. I think he will pull his head out of his ass, And fight alot harder than he did vs Jardine. Rashad is tough, But I think Stephans skills will help him win this fight. Bonnar submission 2nd round.

[Immaculate]

Chris "Crippler" Leben http://www.sherdog.com/fightfinder/Pictures/Chris_Leben2.JPG Vs. Anderson "Spider" Silva http://www.sherdog.com/fightfinder/Pictures/andersonsilva_profile.jpg


My Pick: Silva. Unless Leben can get Anderson down and keep him there, I don't see him surviving all 3 rounds. Anderson is one of the most techincal strikers in the sport today. Silva TKO cut 3rd round.

Mark Hominick http://www.sherdog.com/fightfinder/Pictures/Mark_Hominick_profile.jpgvs. Jorge Gurgel http://www.sherdog.com/fightfinder/Pictures/Jorge_Gurgel_profile.jpg

My Pick: Homonick. I would like nothing more than for jorge to win this fight. He's a class act, and hard not to like. Considering he hasn't fought in almost 2 years, And Mark is coming off the biggest victory of his career, I'm taking Mark. Homonick KO 3rd round.

Jorge really annoyed me in Ultimate fighter II. Maybe it was just editing but he got on my nerves.

[hypersensitiveZO6]

don't we have a thread for this in pictures?

Anyway, I got the spider over the clippler

[TrickyNicky]

I wonder if they'll have only four fights in the two hours and save the dark fights for the Unleashed shows.

It all depends on how long the big 4 fights take. If there are a few quick KO's then we will see undercard bouts.

[Immaculate]

And ****! I forgot Menne vs Koshcheck

My Pick: Koshcheck, Menne hasn't won a big fight in years, He's beyond washed up, If Koshcheck loses this fight, I don't ever want to see him in the UFC again. Koshcheck Unanimous Decision.

Kris Rotharmel vs. Rob MacDonald http://www.sherdog.com/fightfinder/Pictures/Rob_Macdonald.jpg

My Pick: MacDonald. Rob is a very good greco wrestler, He should have no problem taking Kristian, And keeping him there. MacDonald 2nd round ref stoppage ground and pound.

I can't stand Kristian that whiney little bitch. I don't see him beating anyone.

I'm with you 100%. He could fight mid level 155'ers and get wrecked.

I really thought they might have Leben as the favorite. It's still a decent line. I think The Spider is ging to crush Leben.

I know it's not the fight tonight but for an underdog I like Sylvia +200. I know the UFC wants Arlovsky BIG TIME over Sylvia. No way Sylvia gets a decision. The gaps on some of these fights are ridiculous. Look at the Koscheck/Menne fight.

I'm not at all impressed with any fights on the next UFC. The WFA card will be the event getting my money for sure.

Lyoto Machida (the only person to beat Rich Franklin) vs Vernon "I have an excuse for every fight" White
Ivan Salaverry vs Art Santore

Ask Randy Couture if 41 is too old to be fighting. ROFL

I didn't say too old I said hella old. I just met Randy a few weeks back he is a really nice guy.

What's the date/price on the WFA lineup? Getting UFC anyway, but might add WFA if it's on an open night.

[big nasty kcnut]

Quinton Jackson -- VS -- Matt Lindland I'm going with lindland on this one he a great mat guy.

Ricco Rodriguez -- vs -- Ron Waterman I think ricco will win this one based on the fact he look like a madman.

Lyoto Machida -- vs -- Vernon White Lyoto what will be your excuse this time vernon.

Ivan Salaverry -- vs -- Art Santore I pick Ivan for he looked good in a past fight i seen him in.


Kimo Leopoldo -- vs -- Bas Rutten I'll pick kimo only cause bas have not been in a match in awhile.

[BIG_DADDY]

Time to go check this out boys.

[TrickyNicky]

Hominick/Gurgel ended with a push-up contest... and Hominick takes the decision. The crowd boos because Jorge is a TUF face but I agree with the decision.

[big nasty kcnut]

It was a good call. Bonner need to start pounding rashaad now.

[TrickyNicky]

Wow Anderson Silva completely owned Leben standing. I kept thinking that Leben would close the distance and fence-rape him when he got hit the first time, but he stayed put right in Silva's range and ate a hearty meal of right hands.

[Immaculate]

Franklin better watch his ass!

Silva looked great. He literally used Leban for a human punching bag.

Does Leban ever quit saying stupid shit? "In the UFC you have to keep winning if you want to fight" "He is going to find out what it's like here going up against the best not like those fighters in Japan with less skill" WTF was that all about? "I have a surprise for him when I take him down" "He's going to go this guys just like a dump truck he just keeps coming."

Leban is a tough kid I'll give him that but dude is as dumb as a rock.

[BIG_DADDY]

I think the fighter that surprised me the most was Jonathan Goulet. He is going to be the real deal. Cummo gets better all the time I think he has the dicipline to be a very good fighter one day it will be interesting to see how he turns out.

Bonner didn't surprise be at all. The UFC fell in love with this kid and I knew Evans would have to dominate to get the decision. Hell Bonner didn't beat Southworth on the Ultimate Fighter but that didn't keep them from handing the bout to him. I think Bonner is about as good as he will ever be right now. Evans on the other hand looks better every fight and has room to get substantially better on the ground. I think we will be seeing a lot more of him in the future.

Kristian got his ass kicked, no surprise there. I hope that's the last time we see him in the Octogon.

Anybody know how the other fights came out and if they will ever show them?

The judges were a f***ing joke last night. The same dumbass scored two fights 29-29, when one fighter was CLEARLY dominant in each.

Joe Rogan was going off... I was lol. He was right: the NV Athletic Div needs to get some MMA refs. These boxing jerkoffs are clueless.

Funny part is they used to get it right all the time before they went mainstream. I guess anything that touches boxing turns to shit.
