UFC Heavyweight Championship bout:

Randy Couture vs Brock Lesnar

I would like to see Randy win this MMA match up, and wouldn't be too surprised if he did, but.......I don't think it will happen. I see Randy "The Natural" Couture winning this fight only if he can get it to the 4th or 5th rounds and Brock Lesnar wears down form moving his giant self around. I am also sure that Randy is spending lots of time refreshing his submission skills, but Brock looked much improved in submission defense in his last fight.As much as I hate to say this, I am going to say Brock Lesnar wins by TKO in round 2.

UFC Lightweight bout:

Kenny Florian vs Joe Stevenson

UFC Middleweight bout:

Kenny Florian should be fighting BJ Penn, but BJ is to busy training for his beat down from GSP. This should be a very good fight, and when Kenny "Ken Flo" Florian wins he will finally get his title shot. Joe "Big Daddy" Stevenson is a great fighter, but he is not ready to match Ken Flo's intensity and will lose by a decision after 3 good rounds.

UFC Middleweight bout:

Amir Sadollah vs Nick Catone

Nick Catone has won his last 3 fights by TKO in round 1. It should be interesting to see how Amir Sadollah does against someone with decent stand-up. Amir has shown he can submit wrestlers, but can he hang on his feet with a puncher if he can't take them down. I think Amir will will by decision.

UFC Heavyweight bout:

Gabriel Gonzaga vs Josh Hendricks

Josh Hendricks will be taking a huge step up in competition when he faces Gabriel Gonazaga. All of Gonzaga's lossed are by TKO, and most of Josh Hendricks win come by submission, so it doesn't look good for Josh. I am picking Grabril Gonzaga to win by TKO in round 2.

UFC Middleweight bout:

Nate Quarry vs Demian Maia

Nate Quarry is finally healthy and has some really good stand up. If the fight goes to the ground, Damian Maia will pull of someBJJ wizardry and win by submission. His last 3 fights in the UFC have won Submission of the Night Honors. If Nate can defend the take downs, he has a shot at a KO. Look forDemian Maia to win by submission in round 2.

UFC Welterweight bout:

Dustin Hazelett vs Tamdan McCrory

This could be the tallest welterweight fight in the history of the UFC. Dustin "McLovin" Hazelett is 6'1" and Tamdan "The Barn Cat" McCrory is 6'4". I doubt if Dustin has faced many fighters taller than he is, so "The Barn Cat" might have a small advantage from that. Dustin works the submission game andTamdan likes the KO. I am picking Tamdan "The Barn Cat" McCrory to win by TKO in round 3.


UFC Lightweight bout:

Jorge Gurgel vs Aaron Riley

Both of these fighters like to win by submission. I am going to pick Aaron Riley to win this on over the tough Jorge Gurgel.

UFC Lightweight bout:

Jeremy Stephens vs Rafael dos Anjos

Rafeal dos Anjos has an impressive win streak going, but that will end when he is TKO'd by Jeremy "Little Heathen" Stephens in round 2.

UFC Lightweight bout:

Alvin Robinson vs  Mark Bocek

Look for Alvin "The Kid" Robinson to continue Mark Bocek's losing streak and win by submission in round 2.

UFC Middleweight bout:

Matthew Riddle vs Ryan Thomas

Look for Matt Riddle to continue to improve with each fight. He is young and athletically gifted, and should have a long career in the UFC. He still didn't know how to finish in his last fight, so look for him to win again by decision after 3 rounds of take downs.
