On Saturday, October 18th, the UFC returns to the United Kingdom for UFC 89: BISPING vs. LEBEN, from The National Indoor Arena in Birmingham, England.

After dropping down to 185 lbs., Micheal "The Count" Bisping has absolutely steam rolled through his first two opponents. Now, he sets his sites on the heavy-handed striker, Chris "The Crippler" Leben in an explosive Middleweight match-up.

UFC 89: BISPING vs. LEBEN - Saturday, October 18th, live on SpikeTV from Birmingham, UK.

Leben is going to beat Bisping, and Silva is going to be the first man to defeat Machida!

Bisping is gonna beat Leben and the Taylor / Lytle Fight will be FOTN

Taylor Lytle is going to be one of the best fights of the year. I hope Lytle stands and bangs with him, no doubt that Lytle would beat his ass on the ground.

I've got Bisping beating Leben and THIAGO ending Lyotos' reign of terror. Good card, depth wise.

I've got:
Leben
Machida
Vera
Cain
Lytle
Davis

Leben brings a strong gameplan to the fight i think its going to be a good striking fest but i see Bisping knocking him out in the second.

I'm sure this is a good event but I'm just curious how the hell did these 2 clowns get the main event? lol (leben vs bisping)

Im pretty psyched about htis card unfortunately im going on holiday to Japan so I shall miss it :( On the bright side though im going to Japan :)

However my picks are

Michael Bisping

Lyoto Machida

Keith Jardine

Luiz Cane

Chris Lytle

Paul Kelly

Shit man, Baron vs Miller and Hardy vs Gono will be fireworks. Sucks that they're pre-lims, but oh well. Bielkheden vs Liaudin should rule, too.

Machida is going to tool Thiago Silva something vicious. While Silva's a good fighter, he is nowhere near Lyoto's level. His sloppy ass stand-up won't help him and he won't be able to take Lyoto down. If he does, Lyoto will just get back up.

As for the rest of the card, Sokky, Vera, Bisping, Davis, Lytle, Bielkheden, Carwin, Etim, Eklund, Gono and Miller.

Jess is about to feel some deadly GnP.
