Hopefully St. Pierres injury won't play a big factor when he faces Hughes. Unless Mir doesn't get his act together Vera will destroy him. Sylvia will destroy Monson and Stevenson will destroy Mark Hominick (considering how he fought Jorge Gurgel). Sherk is going to retire Florian and I really don't care for Jardine vs Nickles (they both suck). Shamrock and Ortiz is old. If Hamil can put Petruzelli on the ground then he'll win for sure. Beside that, Hamil will aim to actually finish the fight unlike petruzelli. Rich will beat Anderson, BJ will beat Hironaka, and unless Lambert can neutralize Rashads wrestling, Rashad will win.

I agree with everything this person said except Petruzelli and Lambert. Petruzelli beat Dan Severn in another organization, I don't think he'll lose to Matt Hamill. And Jason Lambert is a way better fighter than Rashad. He'll have no problem neutralizing Rashad's wrestling. Rashad will be outmatched in this one. I consider Lambert to be one of the top light heavyweight contenders. He has had and beaten way tougher competition than Rashad. I also kind of disagree with Monson getting "destroyed"...I think he has a good chance. I think BJ and KenFlo need to switch if he moves down to 155 though.

These rumors are sweet I hope they really come true. 65 looks cool. I bet Sylvia Mir and Stevenson will come out victorious. I hvae lost complete respect for Mark Hominick after he ran away from his opponent in his last fight. Joe Stevenson will stomp him. I think Vera may be the future of UFC at the rate he's going and as for Sylvia vs Monson. Monsons is good as dead. He almost got beat by a guy who was a BJJ speacilast in a stand up fight because the guy had a reach advantage. Imagine Time Silvias much more diffinitive reach advantage and good stricking compared to Monson. Monsons ok but this is a fight he's destened to loose. oh and GSP will take WWtitle and Rich and Chuck will successfully defend there titles.
