don't know too much about a lot of the fighters, but there's some interesting fights although some of the matchups are weird. best of all, it's free and should be a great show.

of course, Mayhem is going to win...look who he's fighting, but I love watching jason

I'm going with the upset in the Shields fight, for Mousasi to win and Aoki is one of my top favorites, so I have to go with him, but it's going to be tough going on his feet against Melendez.
 
These top 3 fights make this one of the best cards of the year, and really in a long while, in any company.

I like Hendo big time, Mousasi big time, and a hopeful departure to the UFC, and i'm gonna take Aoki, but Melendez is a tough dude, I hope this turns into a USA-Japan-USA 3 fight set like they are hinting at.
 
The day of my uncle's wedding... I'm going to have to catch a replay or something.


I pick Mousasi and Henderson.
 
I think Hendo will beat Shields up. I don't necesarily think it will be over quick, because I think it will be fought on theground mostly, but I just don't think Shields is ready for a guy like Hendo.

I like Mousasi a lot, and I hope I don't give him my Miguel Torres jinx, but I think he is probably the leader in the clubhouse for holding multiple titles in MMA, and I think that it could be in the UFC. I think King Mo can also be really good, but Mousasi is a machine. He like Fedor-lite right now. Mousasi needs to go to the UFC asap, then you'll have your Silva killer right there.

The Melendez/Aoki fight might be the biggest fight on this card. Aoki is huge, and if he wins, he's taking that belt back to DREAM, where Melendez, or somebody from Strikeforce is going to have to go and get it, which would be awesome. I'm taking Aoki in this fight, because he will make sure it gets to the ground, and I don't think Gilbert can hang with him there.

Hendo and the dream catcher FTW !
 
well, that sure sucked. Mo did nothing and just because he got a lot of takedowns, he won. Gegard was more comfortable on his back than Mo was on top of him. I hate how fights are scored. IDK WTF Gegard was doing, either and why he stood straight up the whole time. His wrestling sucks big time. I can't believe he got taken down so much. I'm so frickin' pissed. I like Mo, but that was a crap way to win. Hope the next fight's better and I hope they end up showing the Mayhem fight.
