i dont' really care too much about this card. they've even said that couture/coleman winner may even get a title shot which is the lamest thing i've ever heard if that was to come true.

the first four on your list is a little interesting to see but I'm in no way jumping up and down about them. don't think i'll be buying this one or the next one (both in february). I'm really waiting for the one in march and april
 
Here are my thoughts

Randy Couture vs. Mark Coleman Randy via dec if not tko in the 3rd



Nate Marquardt vs. Chael Sonnen Hope Nate tko's Sonnen, dont' care for him and he was talking trash about anderson silva being boring fighter, picking fights, blah blah blah,............. look in the mirror pal



Mike Swick vs. Paulo Thiago Swick should be able to take this one. I think he's better on the ground and standing. His cardio may be his only weak spot in this fight, but Thiago has a punchers chance like he showed against Kos



Demian Maia vs. Dan Miller rooting for Maia to get a sub in rd 1, he should be able to take this fight to the ground and work his jitz



Matt Serra vs. Frank Trigg don't care



Mac Danzig vs. Justin Buchholz don't care



Melvin Guillard vs. Ronys Torres don't care but always like watching Melvin because there's always a potential hl reel ko



Phillipe Nover vs. Rob Emerson rooting for Nover, dont' like Emerson



Brian Stann vs. Phil Davis don't care



Tim Hague vs. Chris Tuchscherer don't care



Mostapha Al Turk vs. Rolles Gracie rooting for the gracie to make a name for himself. hope he does good things. the gracies are legendary but as mma is evolving, they kind of fell off due to their lack of stand up
*Have also heard that Al Turk is out of this fight, and will be replaced by Joey Beltran.
 
Randy Couture vs. Mark Coleman - This fight is pointless for me. I just don't see what good it does to have these two fight. It's like a video game fight, or if tonight on WWE (or whatever it's called now) the main event was Stone Cold vs. Goldberg. Just because we didn't see it back in the day, doesn't mean we have to see it now. I would much rather these two be fighting the younger guys, and serving as above average (in Randy's case) gatekeepers. Nothing can come from this fight, niether one is good enough to ever be at the top again, so why waste the time. I'll be watching, but I think this one is a fail.



Nate Marquardt vs. Chael Sonnen - I'm a huge Nate fan, and I expect him to win this fight, but I think Sonnen is underrated. He whooped up on Okami, who is very good, and I think he'll come strong in this fight. If you look at Chael's record, the guys he has lost to recently are top level guys. I think that Nate is good enough to beat him anyway, but I don't see this as a cake-walk. Bring on Anderson for Nate, so Nate can bring him down.



Mike Swick vs. Paulo Thiago - I'm not a huge Swick guy, but I think he is good enough to beat Thiago, mainly because I'm not sure Thiago really belongs just yet. He has a big KO on Kos, but that's really it. If he can beat Swick, it validates him, but I'm not sure thats going to be the case.



Demian Maia vs. Dan Miller - Maia is coming off one of the worst KO's in a big fight ever after Nate dropped a bomb on him. I expect Maia, who is very good, to bounce back, and pretty convincingly over a tough Dan Miller.



Matt Serra vs. Frank Trigg - Really? Why? I'll take Trigg, but not for any good reason other than I don't think Serra is very good.



Mac Danzig vs. Justin Buchholz - Eh. I think Danzig is decent, but he is on a 3 fight losing streak. If he loses again, he might be gone.



Melvin Guillard vs. Ronys Torres - I thought I heard that Melvin is training at Greg Jackson's gym now? If that's the case, I'd like to see how much improvment he will show, because he needs some work.

I'll be watching, but I think this one is a fail. they both should really just retire, esp Randy, he has nothing left to prove. props to them i guess, they love the sport and it's just hard for them to leave

He whooped up on Okami, who is very good, and I think he'll come strong in this fight. If you look at Chael's record, the guys he has lost to recently are top level guys. I think that Nate is good enough to beat him anyway, but I don't see this as a cake-walk. Bring on Anderson for Nate, so Nate can bring him down. Nate has been on a rampage, he deserves a rematch, i just wish Dan didn't leave, would've liked to see that fight to find a true contender. only thing is, Nate has been beating everyone since the try at the belt, but against way less competition. the Maia win was good but Maia was really hyped. I was still unsure he can compete at the elite level, wanted to see him get tested which he did, and well, we know how that went. Nate has looked solid, but lets see how he'll react when he's staring across the ring agianst a true threat. Sonnen sux, but gotta admit, he looked good against okami. still want nate to wreck him though



Mike Swick vs. Paulo Thiago - I'm not a huge Swick guy, but I think he is good enough to beat Thiago, mainly because I'm not sure Thiago really belongs just yet. He has a big KO on Kos, but that's really it. If he can beat Swick, it validates him, but I'm not sure thats going to be the case.

Matt Serra vs. Frank Trigg - Really? Why? I'll take Trigg, but not for any good reason other than I don't think Serra is very good. just don't care for either guy really,............... don't hate them, but don't care for them



Mac Danzig vs. Justin Buchholz - Eh. I think Danzig is decent, but he is on a 3 fight losing streak. If he loses again, he might be gone.



Melvin Guillard vs. Ronys Torres - I thought I heard that Melvin is training at Greg Jackson's gym now? If that's the case, I'd like to see how much improvment he will show, because he needs some work.
well, we'll see how he does. some guys are just weak mentally, you can't train or teach that to some. he's so gifted, powerful and athletic but lacks the heart. he's admitted to being broken several times when faced with adversity, hope the jackson camp will tough him up

pretty much agree with you on everything. However, I do like Trigg. His problem is his mind. If he used his talents like he should, he could be very very good, but instead he is probably an average fighter. It's getting disheartening watching him beat himself time and time again, especially by his arch-nemesis, the rear naked choke :ROFL:

I have a feeling the Rear Naked Trigg may happen in this fight....
 
well, no rear naked for Trigg. I really didn't expect that. Time to hang up the gloves.



Just as I though (and most others)...coleman had absolutely no chance
 
What are the results for each? K.O, Sub, decision... double K.O Lol
 
All the fights went pretty much the way I thought except for Sonnen. That was unreal it reminded me of Jones Hammil in a certain aspects
