UFCThe Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) is a U.S.-based mixed martial arts organization, recognized as the largest MMA promotion in the world. The UFC is headquartered in Las Vegas, Nevada and is owned and operated by Zuffa, LLC. This promotion is responsible for solidifying the sport's postion in the history-books.
UFC is currently undergoing a remarkable surge in popularity, along with greater mainstream media coverage. UFC programming can now be seen on Spike TV in the United States, as well as in 35 other countries worldwide.
probably the most solid card the ufc has ever put on. the undercard isn't all that good though.
most of the main fights could honestly go either way, but here's how i see them going down.
bj penn vs sean sherk - i think this will be a boxing match for the first couple of rounds, with bj penn winning into the third. then i see sherk taking down a tired bj penn and controlling him, rinse and repeat for round 4 and 5. sherk should win by decision.
wanderlei silva vs keith jardine - this should be a slugfest from start to finish. silva will be throwing alot of punches, wheras jardine will be using alot of kicks. i see silva getting the clinch and koing jardine in dominating fashion.
tito ortiz vs lyoto machida - tito is going to take this fight to the ground where he will control machida, i hope he tries to get a ground n pound finish, but i still see him grinding out a decision.
rashad evans vs thiago silva - i see this being pretty much the same as the tito/machida fight. evans is going to be really tired in round 3, this is where thiago might lock in a submission. this should go to rashad by decision though.
sokoudju vs nakamura - don't know too much about nakamura, but i'm hoping sokoudju picks up a devastating ko. then lets see him fight alexander after he puts the sandman to sleep.

my top 5:
1. anderson silva
2. kenny florian
3. rich franklin
4. thiago alves
5. dustin hazelett
I'll be rooting for the Brazilians here. Not that I've got anything against Jardine, but it would suck if Wandy got a fourth straight loss. And it would be fun if Tito and Rashad got KO:d.
With Sherk vs Penn, I just say let the best man win! I hope to see a lot of "ill will" in that fight.
