Rich Franklin vs Dan Henderson

205lbs

i predict that Rich Franklin will win by decision. Rich Franklin is a superb striker, and well rounded enough to nullify Dan Henderson's takedown. Henderson is too tough for Franklin to knock out.

Maricio "Shogun" Rua vs. Mark Coleman

205lbs

Shogun used to be considered the very best in the world. ive seen him destroy a couple of people in Pride. hasnt looked great in the UFC. dont know much about Coleman other than he won a decision of sorts over Shogun. and he looks to be in great physical shape. i cant call this one.

Denis Kang vs. Alan Belcher

185lbs

i dont know much about these two.

Chris Lytle vs. Marcus Davis

170lbs

this should be the "Fight of the Night". definitely a closer in my decision to buy this PPV. both are former professional boxers. Lytle is more of a brawler who wings his punches and comes straight forward - Davis more of a boxer who uses angles and straight punches. Lytle is much more advanced in Jiujitsu and will be slicker on the ground (if it goes there) and Davis is in outstanding phyiscal shape and can keep a very kenetic pace for three rounds.

while my own logic would put the odds at about 55 - 45 in favor of Lytle, i am going to predict (on a hunch) that they bang it out for two rounds leaving Lytle pretty winded for the third, allowing the Irish Hand Grenade to pull out a very narrow decision. there. s#!+!

Jeremy Horn vs.

Rousimar Palhares

185lbs

with an absolutely ludicrous professional record of 79 wins 18 losses and 5 draws, i have never seen Jeremy Horn win a fight in the UFC. Horn has unparralled experience, but is not very imposing physically. Palhares is a beast physically but sorta one dimensional (yet very good at that one dimension - Brazilian Jiujitsu). im gonna predict Palhares wins this fight (tap out). i think it is more likely that we will see Palhares has improved on some of the weaker aspects of his game rather than we will see a Jeremy Horn comeback.

Antonio Mendez vs. Eric Schafer

205lbs?

this is one of the preliminary fights. i hope it gets televised. i saw Antonio Mendez lose to Thiago Silva. but Mendez looked good (before he got pounded out). seriously brutal kicks this guy has.
