Georges St. Pierre vs. Jon Fitch
The title match. omfg.... Jon Fitch is so game it's not even funny... and in another era he would be the champ the guy people couldn't touch. But watch his fight against diego and he's put into some very difficult positions. Diego is very scrappy on the ground and Fitch seemed to run into a few problems before winning a decision. He can't do that against GSP. GSP is just too dynamic and is far too explosive/strong. Fitch is strong as well but if GSP gets top position he's in trouble. I think GSP has the edge in basically everything. Better wrestling, better top position, better BJJ, better strikes... i don't know either mans cardio but watching gsp recently he has no issues it seems... i see this with GSP winning mid rounds by strikes.

Brock Lesnar vs. Heath Herring
So many people are giving brock a chance. Probably because herring lost to a wrestler in his debute and they think brock can do the same. Well this is a new herring and i think he's just too crafty and too good standing.. I see lesnar losing his explosiveness in round 2/3 and herring picking him apart. There is no way that lesnar can stop herring by strikes it's impossible. Fedor gnp him for the entire 10 minute round and the doctor had to stop it, herring didn't give up... do we think lesnar can do that in 3x5 minute rounds? Herring by decision.

Kenny Florian vs. Roger Huerta
I think i want to see this fight more then the gsp/fitch one. This fight is really a difference in styles. Huerta uses a kickboxer/boxing type standup style with wrestling. While florian uses a MT and BJJ style. Both are game and both have great cardio. This is gonna be a war... i really want huerta to win this. I love his game and his style and he's fun to watch, but on paper florian's ground is just so strong.... and if he gets top position on roger he's in trouble. I see this being Kenny by choke round two

Manvel Gamburyan vs. Robert Emerson
Robert Emerson is not good. Manny by decision or kimura 2nd round.

Demian Maia vs. Jason MacDonald
Okami sat on Mcdonald's face and Jason had no answer. Maia will triangle jason round 1 =[

Luke Cummo vs. Tamden McCrory-
Cummo will win by cooking Tamden some nasty ass kelp salad. I don't know much about Tamden but Cummo isn't really great in my opinion. Don't really know how this fight goes.

Cheick Kongo vs. Dan Evensen
Dan evensen is a striker who sucks. Kongo is a striker who's good.
Winner by giant african knees to the brain. Kongo

Andre Gusmao vs. Jon Jones
Wish i knew what weight this figh was at. probably 205. Andre is a good strong IFL fighter i've seen him before. Andre by TKO 2nd round.

Steve Bruno vs. Chris Wilson
Chris Wilson is that guy who had some serious standup against Jon Fitch. Steve is game but Chris is a team quest guy (so got serious wrestling) and great hands. Lots of people think he can be seriously good at 170. Chris by strikes 1st round.

Ben Saunders vs. Ryan Thomas
WTF WHO.

I'm pretty excited about this card. But i want to say that WEC is putting on such a great show now a days. Condit is a force and i'd love to see him face GSP if GSP wins... I might even prefer WEC over to UFC now a days. I hope all of you catch it when you can because if not you're missing out. As is i didn't really blog about the fedor/sylvia fight but there isn't reason to do so. Fedor is a beast and he's the best fighter in the world. p4p arguments are so shitty it's annoying. "if anderson silva walked around at 240 he'd crush fedor" yeah and if fedor could make 185 he'd also be 2x as fast... wtf who cares... As for poker, I don't really care to comment about myself but my main man KeanuReaver is back in action and he's splitting heads. WAR KEANU.
