----------------------------------------------------

Probably not a card for the casual MMA fan, but there are some good fights on this card.
 
Jon Fitch vs. B.J. Penn - I am really hoping that BJ puts up a good fight here, but I doubt he will. This is a classic "BJ not interested" type of fight. BJ will be into it until the first takedown, then he'll likely give up. Fitch knows he's only going 3 rounds, and he's knows that GSP already showed the easiest way to beat BJ is by out-wrestling him.
Typical Fitch fight, which for me isn't a bad thing, but there will be more boo's after this one.


Michael Bisping vs. Jorge Rivera - I am a Bisping slappie (as most of you know), so I'm rooting for him here. This is a dangerous fight for him because I sort of feel like it's a lose-lose situation. If he beats Rivera, big deal, he's old, but if he loses, it's a big hit for him. Thankfully, I don't expect that. Bisping has some of the best technical stand-up skills in the UFC, and I think he should coast here.


Dennis Siver vs. George Sotiropoulos - Siver always puts on a good fight, and this should be a nice test for Sotir. I kind of like the way Sotir goes about it in the cage, so I'd like to see him win here, and then get a co-main event type fight in the future, but Siver is going to make him earn it.


Chris Lytle vs. Brian Ebersole - Sucks that Condit is out. I'm a big Condit fan, and have said that I think he could beat GSP, but not making this fight is going to make the road that much tougher. Lytle should win, as he is a very good fighter, not elite, but still very good.


Chris Camozzi vs. Kyle Noke - I wonder if Noke is really any good, I tend to think he isn't, but this should be a decent test.


Spencer Fisher vs. Ross Pearson - Fight of the Night. Pearson is one of my favorite guys to watch, and I hope he KO's Fisher.

Jon Fitch vs. B.J. Penn I'm with you on this one hy, I'm rooting for bj, but then again, I don't really care to see bj fight gsp again. I'm still hoping gsp will beat Shields and move up to 85 for the super fight with AS. But if I had to put money on it, I gotta say fitch is too big, his cardio is too good and his wrestling is too much for bj. Fitch by decision. Would love to see bj pull off a sub or get a ko/tko. But I don't see bj subbing fitch from the bottom. He doesn't use his jj from the bottom to sub, he uses jj to get back to the feet or reverse


Michael Bisping vs. Jorge Rivera I'm not a big Bisping fan, a lot of people aren't, but I can see him winning a decision. I'm rooting for Jorge on this one but I think Bisping has a better chance at going for the gold at this point in both their careers


Dennis Siver vs. George Sotiropoulos rooting for gsot, he should be able to win this. only way i see siver winning is by an early ko. he tends to gas and when his striking is nullified, he doesn't know what else to do to win. George by slic sub


Chris Lytle vs. Brian Ebersole I'm bummed out Lytle isn't fighting Condit either. I think Chris got this by tko


Chris Camozzi vs. Kyle Noke


Spencer Fisher vs. Ross Pearson I got Ross by decision or tko


Alexander Gustafsson vs. James Te Huna


Riki ***uda vs. Nick Ring oh no you di'int


Jason Reinhardt vs. Tiequan Zhang


Tom Blackledge vs. Anthony Perosh


Mark Hunt vs. Chris Tuchscherer c'mon Mark! please make something happen. Mark by ko


Maciej Jewtuszko vs. Curt Warburton

I won't be getting this fight, I'm not exactly jumping up and down for this card
 
not another majority draw! after that last round, fitch should definitely have won...by far the most dominating round by either fighter
 
it was the correct decision. bj won the first two rounds 10-9 rounds and fitch dominated the 3rd round for a 10-8 round. i agree with the ruling. bisbing is a ahole and i cant wait until he actually fights someone. the best fighter i know of him fighting was matt hammel and hammel got ripped off. when he does fight someone good he looses
 
Another main-event proving why we need Pride style judging. Rds 1 and 2 were close and could have went either way. Even if you give them to Penn, the margin of victory was minimum. Rd 3 was 5 minutes of domination. Fitch's margin of victory in Rd 3 was so much more than Penn's margin in Rds 1 and 2 combined.

For full disclosure, I hate BJ Penn.

Bisping isn't usually a dirty fight; I think that knee was intentional.
