I left the other fights off, but if you want to comment on them, feel free.
 
Nice lineup for a free card, shame I don't get Spike HD though. Watching it in standard definition will be painful but I will still watch for free. :)

I don't like Stevenson or Sanchez, so that fight I really don't care. It should be a pretty even fight though. Depending how Diego is at 155lbs.

Marquardt should take Wilson, but I wouldn't bet on it.

Maia should sub Sonnen, even though I think Sonnen is pretty good I don't think he'll be able to get away from the Jiu Jitsu of Maia.

Koscheck over Thiago, while Thiago is 10-0 it's not in the UFC. And I have always been a Kos fan, I think he'll give the new guy his first loss.

Eitm vs Cobb - Don't really know either fighter to well, I'll say Etim by decision.

Dos Santos vs Struve - No idea, Dos Santos last UFC fight he smashed Werdum with the uppercut from hell. However this Struve guy is no joke, I just looked at his record. This should be a war.
 
Well here are my picks from the UFC fantasy league with some comments added


Joe Stevenson v. Diego Sanchez
Winner: Diego Sanchez Technical Knock Out
I think Diego is just a more well rounded fighter

Dan Hardy v. Rory Markham
Winner: Rory Markham Technical Knock Out

Demian Maia v. Chael Sonnen
Winner: Demian Maia Submission (Choke)
Maia has the best BJJ in the UFC right now and he should really get a shot at Anderson pretty soon.

Junior Dos Santos v. Stefan Struve
Winner: Stefan Struve Submission (Choke)
That 1 is interesting since Struve is 6'11" but he is actually really good with subs and not much of a stand up fighter.

Nate Marquardt v. Wilson Gouveia
Winner: Nate Marquardt Unanimous Decision
I think there skills cancel each other out but Nate is stronger and take it to a decision

Josh Koscheck v. Paulo Thiago
Winner: Josh Koscheck Technical Knock Out
Kos just because he gets better with each fight and newcomers usually don't do well in there first fight in the UFC

Paul Kelly v. Troy Mandaloniz
Winner: Paul Kelly Technical Knock
Even though Troy trains with BJ Penn I think Paul Kelly is just too much for Rude Boy

Per Eklund v. Evan Dunham
Winner: Per Eklund Unanimous Decision

Mike Ciesnolevicz v. Neil Grove
Winner: Neil Grove Technical Knock Out

Terry Etim v. Brian Cobb
Winner: Terry Etim Unanimous Decision
 
I have it like this:
Deigo by submission or ko/tko
Dan Hardy by decision
Marquardt by decision
Sonnen by dicision
Koscheck by ko/tko
Etim by decision
Dos Santos ko/tko
Neil Grove by decision
Eklund by ko/tko
 
Joe Stevenson Vs. Diego Sanchez - I like Stevenson in this one. On the surface it looks like Sanchez has more skills, but I just think that Stevenson is tougher, and he wants it more. I need to see Sanchez step up in a big fight before I believe in him, I'm not sure why but I'm just not sold on this guy yet.



Dan Hardy Vs. Rory Markham - I'll take Rory, but I think somebody is going to get TKO'd and it's kind of a toss up on paper.



Nate Marquardt Vs. Wilson Gouveia - I like Nate a lot in this fight, and most of the one's to come after. Nate has a new determination, and he he stays with his kicks early, this could be over fast.



Demian Maia Vs. Chael Sonnen - I'm going with Maia here, he is on a bit of a roll right now, and I'll stay with him in this one. Maybe he and Nate will square off they both win?



Josh Koscheck Vs. Paulo Thiago - I like Kos here, and I think Kos really has stepped his game up. He has had a lot of fights recently, but it sounds like he has no problem with that. He did lose to Alves, but there's no shame in that. I heard that if he wins this, he may fight Karo next, but that will depend on how Karo's pain pill thing works out.



Terry Etim Vs. Brian Cobb - Cobb



Junior Dos Santos Vs. Stefan Struve - I'm taking Dos Santos here, hopefully he can put together a few wins, and get a fight with another up and comer, maybe with Cain? Unless Cain is getting the winner of Carwin and Gonzaga.


None of these fights are really that huge for me as far as match-ups go, but there are a few guys that I like to watch fight, Nate, Kos, Dos Santos, Maia, so it should be an entertaining night.
 
Joe daddy by decision

Nate the great by KO or TKO

Sonnen by decision, maybe y TKO. I want Maia to be stopped

Koschek by TKO

Etim vs. Cobb - Toss up

Dos Santos by stoppage late 2nd round
 
looking forward to most of the fights even none are big names, really. I really like Diego for some stupid reason, so I really hope he wins.

I had no idea that there is a MFK group / pm me a link for the group and I'll play

To be fair...
Right now as far as members go, it's myself and Midnight and his GF. There are other people in the group, but they are friends of mine and not members.
