Nate Diaz puts his undefeated UFC record on the line, against the gritty Josh "The Dentist" Neer. Also, in the sub-main event, two of the UFC premier lightweights will battle it out, to see who can move one step closer to a shot at the title....as crafty veteran, Mac Danzig takes on the non-stop energy of Clay "The Carpenter" Guida, in what could be a potential Fight of the Year.

Ultimate Fight Night 15: LIVE On SpikeTV will be telecast everywhere for free immediately following the live card, as the lead-in to the newest season of "The Ultimate Fighter" featuring coaches: Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira, and former UFC Heavyweight Champion Frank Mir.

Why is everyone saying that Neer is hard to finish? Most of his losses are by him being finished rather than him losing by decision.

Diaz is always working off his back and I can see him adding another submission loss to Neers record.

The only way I see Neer winning is by decision. Although I don't think he can go 15 minutes with Diaz without getting caught in something.

Edit, I thought it didn't go through before.

That's true, but if some of these guys can submit Neer, I can see Diaz doing it. This is a dude who goes for submission after submission. Even when you take him down, he almost always counters with a submission. You gotta be completely text book when you take him down. He never quits. You'd think those punches from side control he took from Pellegrino would take the heart out of him.

I was so scared that the fight was gonna get stopped, actually. He can take punishment, that's for sure.

How do you think a fight between Stevenson and Neer would go if they fought now at 155?

That'd be disappointing if Neer won a decision against Diaz. I just think Diaz has a brighter future in MMA. Although that is just my opinion.

I hope Nate has been working on his boxing.

I'm kind of glad Horn dropped out, since he needs to take some time off to get his head back into the game and decide if he wants to still keep fighting. Gouveia is still going to smash a fool, so I'm happy.

I think Stevenson beats Neer at 155. Stevenson looked really, really slow against Neer at 170. At 155, Joe Daddy is more explosive and has gotten so much better.

Nice job on the video. Lookout Bas, we have our own analyists.

Here are my picks;

Lauzon vs Bradley
I like Lauzon in this fight as well. Lauzon with sub.

Gouvea vs Jensen
Gouvea can take a shot. I like Gouvea TKO

Sakara vs Vedepo
Sakara via sub.

Alexander vs Shaffer
Alexander with TKO.

Herman vs Belcher
Herman with sub. Herman is hungry for a win.

Guida vs Danzig
Guida with TKO. Guida is tough and has been tested. Danzig won't hang with Guida's agression or heart.

Diaz vs Neer
Diaz via sub. Diaz doesn't quit and can take shots.

either way i see this fight being more exciting than Nate's fight. Plus Mac is a former tuf winner just like Nate, and Guida is more known than Neer. So I don't see why that shouldn't be the main event. Oh well, i'll still see both of them regaurdless of the order.

Nate Diaz will submit Neer. Making him 5 wins in a row under the UFC banner.
