Dustin Hazelett http://www.cdn.sherdog.com/fightfinder/Pictures/Dustin_Hazlette2.JPG Vs. Stevie Lynch http://img143.imageshack.us/img143/7493/slec6.jpg

My pick: Hazlett. He has far more experience in not only fights, bt big fights. This will only be Lynch's 5th fight in his career.

Hazlett via TKO from punches in the first

Scott"Hands of Steel"Smith http://www.cdn.sherdog.com/fightfinder/Pictures/Scott_Smith2.JPG Vs. Ed"Short Fuse"Herman http://www.cdn.sherdog.com/fightfinder/Pictures/Fighter_6561.JPG

My pick: Smith. Scott is a great wrestler just like Ed. I've been very impressed with Scott's takedown defense, and I think it will give Ed fits. Scott will keep this fight standing, and finish Herman on the feet.


Smith via KO punch in the 2nd round.

Clay Guida http://www.cdn.sherdog.com/fightfinder/Pictures/Clayton_Guida2.JPG Vs. Tyson Griffin http://www.cdn.sherdog.com/fightfinder/Pictures/griffen.jpg

My pick: Griffin. I basically flipped a coin to decide this fight. Griffin think will be stronger in thie fight, and will be able to control pace and position.

Griffin by RNC in the 3rd. FIGHT OF THE NIGHT!

My pick: Griffin. Forrest isa tough kid, and I expect him to come back in a big way after a very tough loss in his last fight.

Griffin via Unanimous decision.

Rich Franklin http://www.cdn.sherdog.com/fightfinder/Pictures/Franklin2.JPG Vs. Yushin Okami http://www.cdn.sherdog.com/fightfinder/Pictures/yushinokami.jpg

Is that sarcasm?

[El Jefe]

Man this is a good car here are my picks.
1. Hazelett
2. I like Ed he is good, Short Fuse by TKO.
3.I'll take Sanchez by G&P.
4.I like Marcus Davis
5. I like Guida.
6.Jason MacDonald is gonna kill him Rory wasnt even good on UFC show, I have watched "the athlete" and he is gonna knock him out 1st round.
7. Griffin 2nd rounk TKO, Hector does have heavy hands, I have watched every fight of Forrest since the UFC show, and the decision against Stephen Bonnar. Personally Bonnar should of won.
8. How can you not pick Rich Franklin he had one bad fight and lost his belt, he is gonna crush this kid. Yes I know Okami has won 6 straight but he wont get to 7, Rich by TKO 2nd round.

[BIG_DADDY]

Is that sarcasm?

Must be. You see Nathan Diaz last night?

[jidar]

Okami is very very good and yet people still keep underestimating him.

It's a tough fight to call though since Franklin is also a great fighter. I think he's taken a bit of a shot to his confidence though so..

Man.

If I had to put money on it I'd go Okami since I think Franklin will be favored more than he should because of his name.

[Eleazar]

What a lame card

I think Franklin will pull it it out but it is no easy fight. It's hard finding value on this ticket from a betting perspective.

No I missed the second show. :shake:

[BIG_DADDY]

No I missed the second show. :shake:

You gotta catch the replay it was a good fight. I like the Diaz bothers in general. I remember when Nate was a white belt.

[El Jefe]

Diaz got lucky again, he has some sweet ground skills so I guess it wouldnt be lucj. He was loseing to Corey Hill then caught him in a triangle, I give that to Coreys inexperience. Then he was getting destroyed by Grey and caught him in a nice guilliten (spelling). I like Diaz he is a little cocky, but look at Karo coming in and making Diaz feel lower than him. I agree with Nate I dont want someone coming in and playing touchy touchy with me especially with him being a fighter, I would look at that from my point of view as him insulting me. Karo is sweet but he barely beat Nick, I honestly thought Nick should of won that fight. Wouldnt that be something though Karo beats Nick and loses to his brother Nate. The thing I like about Nate is he isnt afraid of anybody, that being said he isnt on Karo's level at this point in time.

[Codered]

Plus wouldn't Nate have to go up a weight division to even fight Karo down the road?

I think the cut made Nate look like he was getting beat worse then he actually was. He kept coming at Maynard with various submission attempts the whole time. There wasn't a time I didn't feel Nate wasn't going to win that fight.

I think he handles Manny and wins this thing in the end. I'd like to see Nick back in the UFC. I wonder with Nate's reality fame if that will help get Nick another match?

Calling Diaz a little cocky is like saying your GF is a little pregnant. That sucker is way way to arrogant and cant even leave the fighting for the cage. Its like he just dropped in from the gang to start up a fight. IMHO
