--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I feel like this card really needed one more fight at the top. There will be some good fights, but they are totally banking on GSP/Kos, and probably with good reason.
 
Georges St-Pierre Vs. Josh Koscheck - I am dangerously close to picking Kos in this fight. I think that the odds are very good that Kos drops GSP. However, I just cant seem to do it. I think that Kos has improved so much since the last time they met, and may be GSP toughest challenge in a long time. I can't see GSP wanting to stand for too long with Kos (unless it's in the later rounds), and I think that their wrestling somewhat offsets each other. I think GSP uses his BJJ to get the win, and chokes out Kos, maybe in the 3rd round.


Stefan Struve Vs. Sean McCorkle - I love Struve, so I'm picking him. Thats it.


Jim Miller Vs. Charles Oliveira - Oliveira may be the most watched guy on this card not named GSP/Kos. This guy looks to have a lot of talent, but will have a tough test in Miller, who will be looking for the KO. I got Oliveira by decision.


Joe Stevenson Vs. Mac Danzig - Stevenson by UD. Danzig has been a let down, and I kind of look at him like a poor man's Stevenson anyway.


Thiago Alves Vs. John Howard - Alves. Quick. First round TKO. It could go the other way too, but Alves jsut has too much talent.


Mark Bocek Vs. Dustin Hazelett - Hazelett is a good fighter. Not elite, but real good. I like him here, and hopefully getting a bigger fight night.


Joe Doerksen Vs. Dan Miller - Miller should TKO Joe. I like Miller, just a cut above a gatekeeper. What is it with them putting the Miller's on card's together?


TJ Grant Vs. Ricardo Almeida - I hope Almeida gets back on track, but I fear his time might be running out. He's gotta get this thing to the ground, and in a hurry.

Georges St-Pierre Vs. Josh Koscheck I think Kos is a little overrated. Sure he's got some great highlights but those are against B level fighters. He's always come up short when fighting elite fighters. He claims to be a striker now too but when going at it with strikers, he uses lay n pray, which is fine if he didn't claim prefight that he'd knock them out. I think gsp will stop Kos this time since it is 5 rds. I think gsp has superior mma wrestling. If it was strictly wrestling, then they'd be more even, maybe it'd even favor Kos more but in mma, I see that gsp uses it better. If Kos chooses to stand up, he has a puncher's chance but on paper, and imo, he's got nothing on gsp. Kos' best chance is to turn it into a wrestling match and keep gsp guessing and try to get a ko. I dont' see him finishing gsp on the ground though. I think gsp will beat him standing, use his superior wrestling and jj to tire him out and finish him later in the fight


Stefan Struve Vs. Sean McCorkle don't know much about sean, but he's been talking a lot of smack. should be interesting although I can't call this one since I've never seen McCorkle fight. I guess I'd be rooting for Struve since I like him


Jim Miller Vs. Charles Oliveira rooting for Oliveira, kid is young and talented and seems to have a bright future. I think his stand up needs to improve a bit but he seems to be on the right track. I think he needs to work on getting stronger too with his punches. Jim is a tuff fight for him and a good test. I think Charles will win by decision


Joe Stevenson Vs. Mac Danzig Joe should be able to take this either by decision or sub, maybe even tko on the ground.


Thiago Alves Vs. John Howard this is one I'm excited about too. I think either guy can get ko'd but on paper, Thiago has more experience and probably has a better gas tank. I say Thiago by dec or ko


Mark Bocek Vs. Dustin Hazelett rooting for Dustin. dude has some slic jits


Jesse Bongfeldt Vs. Rafael Natal



Matthew Riddle Vs. Sean Pierson



Joe Doerksen Vs. Dan Miller I pick Dan to win by dec



TJ Grant Vs. Ricardo Almeida rooting for Almeida, felt bad for him in the hughes fight, hope he gets a sub



Pat Audinwood Vs. John Makdessi

If I didn't comment on a fight, it's because I don't know the guys or don't care who wins or both.

I may not get to see this card since I won't be home, but hopefully someone orders it and records it. It's a decent card but not that strong imo
 
Well... Did GSP win:headbang2
Was the Fight good??
 
ya who one
 
I read the KO of the night was "Bad Arse".
 
It was amazing to see a wrestler like Kos, trying to avoid the ground against GSP at all costs, even while being dominated on the feet.

I love when guys use their jab, and if you know what your doing, you can win fights with it.
Ask Frankie Edgar.
