There have been better main events. I predict the smallest PPV sales for UFC this year will be on this PPV because of the card and it is the same night as mayweather vs. marquez. (go marquez!) ( my money is on mayweather, but still go marquez)
Vitor Belfort OVER Rich Franklin
Junior dos Santos OVER Mirko “Cro Cop” Filipovic (i really like cro cop eventhough hes past his prime too bad hes going to get Ko'd here)
Martin Kampmann OVER Paul Daley
Frank Trigg OVER Josh Koscheck
Cole Miller OVER Efrain Escudero (I like efrain but he hasnt proven himself to me yet so im predicting its goodbye undefeated record efrain)
Tyson Griffin OVER Hermes Franca
Vladimir Matyushenko OVER Igor Pokrajac (vladmir refuses to retire, and he wont after he beats igor)
Nik Lentz vs. Rafaello Oliveira (this would be a complete guess)
Ricky Story OVER Brian Foster
Jim Miller OVER Steve Lopez
Drew McFedries OVER Tomasz Drwal (by KO)
Eliot Marshall OVER Jason Brilz ( this should be a fun fight and can go either way)
Rafael dos Anjos vs. Robert Emerson (there are few guarantees in life. This fight having absolutely no impact in the division is one of those guarantees. Me not caring about the outcome is another guarantee.)

UFC fight night 19 9/16
Nate Diaz OVER Melvin Guillard++ Diaz by triangle possibly guillotine. Anyone that fights Melvin Guillard runs the serious risk of getting caught. Melvin is the most powerful and explosive puncher in the division. He has a problem sticking to the gameplan and falls victim to submissions against opponents who are good on the ground so look for diaz to break his losing streak here. I REALLY want to see guillard catch diaz with one of his 200mph hooks.
Gray Maynard OVER Roger Huerta ++ 1.5 years ago id say huerta. But he lost to florian and took off for over a year reportedly to get manicures and facials. Gray Maynard is undefeated and has the cardio and wrestling to wear down huerta who will come in with some ring rust which leads to extra adrenaline which will get him tired even faster. Huerta loked unstoppable until he faced clay guida which has that grinding style that maynard has but maynard will not make the same mistake and get caught with a submission. maynard is one of my 2 dark horses that have a chance against BJ Penn in the division.
Jake Ellenberger OVER Carlos Condit ++ should be a non exciting fight. carlos condit seems to me to be overrated. he has a good record with a good balance of knockouts and submissions and thats cute but Ellenger will win.
Tim Credeur OVER Nate Quarry ++ Fight of the night. Quarry SHOULD win. but I feel an upset here. Quarry is a cocky stand up fighter. Creudeur has the stand up competence and reach to keep quarry at bay until he gets an opening and should be able to pull off a submission.
Steve Cantwell OVER Brian Stann ++ cantwell. So brian stann comes in 6-0 with 6 KOs and then gets KOd by cantwell. then loses again to kryzstof and is awarded a rematch with cantwell. makes no sense but ok lets have cantwell KO him again.
Chris Wilson vs. Mike Pyle
Brock Larson vs. Mike Pierce
Jay Silva vs. CB Dollaway
Sam Stout vs. Phillipe Nover
Jeremy Stephens vs. Justin Buchholz
Ryan Jensen vs. Steve Steinbeiss

Jeff Lacy Vs. Roy Jones
Really? i dont know if its worse that im picking this fight or that it is happening.
I dont want to pick either, but there was no money line for Double Loss.
Im going with Jeff Lacy. booo. booooooo. boo.
yes i booed myself.

Strikeforce Carano vs. Cyborg
Id like to start this post by saying that I am going to the event for the sole purpose of watching the Babalu vs. gegard fight and then after gina carano will fight for my love.
Gina Carano vs. Cristiane "Cyborg" Santos - I dont want to but im going with carano- cyborg was heavily criticized for being allowed to fight last time because she came in way heavy. 145 is small for her and shes going to have to cut a lot of weight to make it- this added to it being the first ever 5 round womans fight will cause her to fatigue and im going with a gina carano submission.
Renato "Babalu" Sobral vs. Gegard Mousasi- both of these guys fall in my top 10. If i had to put money on this fight and i had no heart id put it on gegard by KO. Gegard has some of the best hands in the division and babalu has been known to get cocky and try to go toe to toe with people that he shouldnt. Im hoping that babalu puts the pressure on and uses his much better wrestling and creative submissions to use. So i am picking Babalu because i will be at the fight and cant cheer for gegard against babalu.
Gilbert Melendez vs. Mitsuhiro Ishida
Melendez will win. Ishida ended melendez 13 fight win streak melendez will get his revenge here.
Jay Hieron vs. Jesse Taylor
thanks to diaz this fight was made. Hey diaz you want to fight for the belt? no im just going to skip the drug test and let jesse taylor fight heiron. Thanks diaz. asshole. Jay Hieron wins while im in the bathroom puking.
Fabricio Werdum vs. Mike Kyle
Strikeforce really needs Werdum to win this to legitimize their heavyweights that they have lined up for Fedor. So naturally I really want Mike Kyle to win. theres a headline "FEDOR Vs. Mike Kyle" and then strikeforce folds after selling 3 tickets to that show. Lets do it Mike Kyle by KO.

UFC 101 update
based on the weigh ins i am changing my pick in the amir vs johny hendricks fight
I had said that amir would be able to neutralize hendricks' wrestling but since hendricks will likely come in 15+ heavier than amir I am going with hendricks.
** i had also incorrectly had danillo villefort losing to jesse lennox in the picks and that has been fixxed to him winning.
final picks for tonight
B.J. Penn
Anderson Silva
Johny Hendricks
Kendall Grove
Josh Neer
Shane Nelson
Tamdan McCrory
Thales Leites
Matt Riddle
George Sotiropoulos
Danillo Villefort
