Anderson Silva vs. Demian Maia - This fight seems like it could end up very similar to the Thales Leites fight. I think Maia will try his hardest to get Silva on the ground, but I don't think Silva will stay down there for long, if at all. If Maia can't get Silva down, I think he will try and stand with him as best as he can, but he is really lacking in his stand-up game against most opponents, nevermind Anderson Silva. If Maia can get him to the ground though, all bets are off, seriously. Maia can beat Silva if this fight is on the mat. Maia is one of the best JJ guys in all of mma, so he can finish it if it goes there. I don't expect it to, and I think Silva will get another TKO victory.


B.J. Penn vs. Frankie Edgar - This fight could be really interesting. I think Edgar brings more to the table than most of Penn's recent opponents, minus maybe Florian. But, where Florian failed, Edgar has a shot to succeed. Frankie has really good, and disciplined stand-up skills. I think that could frustrate BJ if he can't get his jab in on Edgar. I would think that BJ will try and take him down and submit him, but Frankie isn't a slouch there either. He is no where near BJ's skills though. That's why I see if this fight is fought standing, Frankie has a good chance, if it's on the ground, I think BJ will dominate. I'm not calling for the upset here, but I think Frankie does pose some problems for BJ. Having said all of that, if everything goes right for Frankie, that leaves him with a chance to win. With a guy like BJ, everything can go right for you, and he can still make you look silly.


Matt Hughes vs. Renzo Gracie - I want to pick Gracie, but I just can't. I know this fight is going to the ground, and I still can't pick him. Even though Hughes is old, Renzo is old too. I just think that Hughes will out-muscle Gracie, and grind out a win. Renzo has the ability to end it at any time, and he could do it, but I'm still going with Hughes, by decison.


Kendall Grove vs. Mark Munoz - This might be a cool fight, with Grove's length vs. Munoz's power, but I think that Munoz will just charge in and drop Grove. This has KO of the night potential.


Nick Osipczak vs. Rick Story - I like Osipczak a lot, and I think he has a high ceiling, but he's in for a tough fight here. I hope he can pull it out, and his stand-up skills give him the opportunity to do it, but Story is a tough dude.


DaMarques Johnson vs. Brad Blackburn - Another guy from USA/UK TUF that I like a lot is DeMarques Johnson. He has great ground skills, and a decent stand-up game. He's going to be tested though because Blackburn throws bombs. I think either Johnson will get dropped fast, or if he can survive the first round, he can drag Blackburn down and submit him.


Paul Kelly vs. Matt Veach - Veach showed some good potential in his last fight withFrankie Edgar, before Edgar caught him. There's no shame in getting beat by Edgar, and I think Veach will get a win here, and show that he could have some success in the UFC.


Jon Madsden vs. Mostapha Al Turk - Al-Turk has had a rough go of it in the UFC. HE actually is pretty talented though, and I think his experience, and his toughness, will get him a win over Madsen.
