Franklin v. Louiseau
I'm predicting a new champ tonight. The Crow wins by ref stoppage (blood) in the 4th round. Franklin will have a very hard time not getting cut in this one. He'll probably be cut by the 2nd round and will try to fight with it as long as he can. I don't see Louiseau being able to finish Franklin, but in the 4th the cut will just be too much. The only reason I really wouldn't mind a blood stoppage in this one, is because that almost garauntees a rematch.
GSP v. BJ Penn
Submission in the 2nd round is a pretty good bet, but as I'm typing I still haven't decided who I expect to win. They are both going to come out agressive in the first and will probably use a LOT of energy doing so. I expect one of them to be pretty tired into the 2nd and make a mistake that the other will capitalize on. If it were just this fight, I'd rather see GSP win, but since its basically a number one contender match, it makes things different. I'd kinda like to see Penn win simply to put to rest the arguments about him being the true champ and whatnot. He'd have a rematch with Hughes and they could settle it all.
