I think Melendez might edge it out, but that is one hell of a match-up.

I've got Nate Marquardt by UD, but there's always that luring possibility of Marquardt getting Chael Sonnened.

Tough one. I got Rua, but Cavalcante's always dangerous.

Luke Rockhold vs Michael Bisping

Really tough fight, and great match-up ( THEY NEED TO HURRY UP AND MERGE ALREADY DAMMIT). Both are very good Kick-Boxers. I've got Bisping in this fight. It will probably go either way and I see the judges giving the nod to Bisping.

Daniel Cormier vs Frank Mir

DC easily. Cormier will probably play it safe and keep it standing. I don't see this going past 2 rounds. Frank Mir's chin is going the direction of Chuck Liddells.

There honestly is no calling this fight. I'll probably say Chris Leben because I think his chin is a little bit better.

Takanori Gomi may be faded, but his KO power is real. I got Gomi on this one. |

Franklin to experianced would keep it standing,
Woodley via LnP
Couture, Taylor isn't very good and Couture has a good camp.
Jordan Mein, kid is super talented and will likely become a fringe top 10 WW IMO.
Santos destroys Garcia for 15 minutes so Garcia via UD.
Mine,
Barnett vs Travis Browne
Mike Kyle vs Thiago Silva
Battle of the vets, Brian Stann vs Tim Kennedy
Kazuo Misaki vs Rick Story
Josh Thompson vs Donald Cerrone

Mine,
Barnett vs Travis Browne - Barnett taps him out in the first round.
Mike Kyle vs Thiago Silva - Upset pick I see this as one of those 10 second KO fights.
Brian Stann vs Tim Kennedy - Stann's improving Kennedy isn't.
Kazuo Misaki vs Rick Story - Story keeps the fight standing and beats him.
Josh Thompson vs Donald Cerrone - I don't trust Cerrone against a high level vet.

Yea I have been hoping for Mir vs. Barnett ever since I thought he had a chance to re-join the UFC. Skill for skill they match up well. Mir is perhaps better with subs. Barnett better with wrestling. Pretty even on the feet. But Barnett has a cardio, chin, and will to win advantage which makes me pick him. Would be fun to see if Mir could tap him though.
I see something real special in Cormier. He has that Fedor calm ( I know he is called the black Fedor) but he does. It is from being in far more important bouts so far in his career with his high high level wrestling. I honestly think he will have better hands by the time they would ever get a chance to fight. I think he could out-wrestle Cain, strongly believe that.
But this fight won't happen. I think Cormier is going to be tough for JDS or Bones. May not win but he is a real threat.
I keep forgetting Safferdine is a WW. That is what happens in the UFC though, LWs look like WW...and so on. I'll give Safferdine, Alves...and I will say Safferdine take a decision.

One fight I really want to see is Bisping vs Rockhold. If Bisping beats Belfort by a close/controversial decision, they should make Rockhold vs Bisping a no #1 contender fight. Maybe even for an interim belt if Silva truly can't fight till late 2013.

I think Rich would murder Gracie at this point. I don't think Gracie would be able to get Ace down and he would be in a world of trouble on the feet. I see a 1st round dominating TKO for Ace.
Tough matchup here, Pierce gave Kos fits and IMO Kos is a more complete fighter then Woodley. I'd go with Pierce because of his experience here.
I think Couture takes him down and subs him. I mean if you get sub'd by Marcus Davis, I'm sure Couture could pull it off.
Great fight to watch. I think Brown is just too tough though in the end.
I got LG all the way. I don't think Cyborg could finish him and we all know what happens when LG goes to the judges.

I think Josh takes him down and subs him, probably round 1.
I could see Kyle landing one of his early power shots. But I think more then likely Thiago lands a few flush punches and puts Kyle away.
I think Kennedy has a big advantage on the ground and IMO he would put Stann on his back for the entire fight. I think Kennedy is a bad matchup for Stann.
I think Rick Story is just too strong. I think he eventually wears him down and controls him by holding him against the cage.
I also like Thompson here. It would be a good fight though IMO.

Yeah I really think Rockhold vs Bisping would be a great matchup. Both guys are always in great shape, I'd love to see them in a 5 round fight.

Gilbert Melendez vs Anthony Pettis
Nate Marquardt vs Josh Koscheck
Feijao Cavalcante vs Shogun Rua
Luke Rockhold vs Michael Bisping
Daniel Cormier vs Frank Mir
Bisping/Rockhold and Cormier/Mir wouldn't even be close, but all the other ones are really even and interesting matchups IMO.
How bout these:
Mousasi vs Gustafsson
Barnett vs Minotauro
Woodley vs E. Silva
Jacare vs Paul Harris
Roger Gracie vs Jake Shields

You really think Mike handles Luke that easy? Luke is a cardio machine and a well rounded fighter. He is also pretty quick, maybe even quicker then Bisping. I think it's a good matchup. But for you fights:
Mousasi vs Gustafsson- this one it on here somewhere. Love the matchup. I think Mousasi's experience is the difference.
Barnett vs Minotauro- Another great fight. I'm going Nog, but that is picking with my heart.
Woodley vs E. Silva-Eventually I think Silva is able to fire off and knock Woodley out. But he could get held down for a UD.
Jacare vs Paul Harris- Tough fight again. I like Jacare because of his reach and speed advantage.
Roger Gracie vs Jake Shields- I think Roger is good enough to control the positioning vs Jake, I like his chances here.

Slow morning, let's play this game. SF vs UFC
