Randy Couture vs. Brandon Vera - I'm going to go with Brandon Vera here, but I hate picking against Randy. I think it will go to decision as Randy is very tough, and Vera hasn't shown much in the way of KO power. I think that Vera will out-point Randy, especially with his kicks, and take the decison.



Mike Swick vs. Dan Hardy - Swick has been on quite a roll, but I think it ends here with Hardy. Hardy has great stand-up, and I think Swick will try and test himself there, and pay for it.



Michael Bisping vs. Denis Kang - I like Bisping here, the same way I always like him, by decision. He lacks KO power, but is as technical as it gets. As long as he doesn't let Kang catch him, he should be fine.



James Wilks vs. Matt Brown - I'm partial to the guys from the UK vs. USA season, as I think they are really talented, so I am going with Wilks. Matt Brown is tough, but I think Wilks has a shot to be very good.



Ross Pearson vs. Aaron Riley - Ross Pearson is a grinder. I didn't think he was as good as Winner on the show, but he beat him by wearing him down, and overpowering him. I think he can do the same in this fight, and get a win over a quality opponent.



Nick Osipczak vs. Matthew Riddle - Nick is another TUF guy, and one who improved greatly as the season went on. He has an interesting build, but takes advantage of what he has. I like him with a submission win, likely a choke.



Andre Winner vs. Rolando Delgado - Andre was the guy I thought had the most talent on TUF, but lost a tough decision to Pearson. I still think he is very talented, and his skills as a boxer will help him to be out front in the point battle in almost any fight.
