    Akiyama has better stand up and more power. If Shields can't get the double leg it's going to be a long night for him.

    All the same! Not counting Edgar out but Henderson is a safe pic

    My picks in red.

    Tough to pick because a lot of these could go either way. IMO there's no clear favorite. Maybe Rampage and Vader, but Vader could wrestle hump his way to decision. Hunt could KO Kongo. Akiyama could KO Shields. I guess the Okami fight might be a sure bet. We'll see. I have a feeling it's gonna be a night of decisions though. So I'm keeping my hopes low.

    I'm excited about the title fight though. Bendo is never in a boring fight and Edgar has no quit...and now he has KO confidence. It's gonna be a good fight.

    I wanna pick Hunt too, but I'm picking Kongo by decision. I see him taking Hunt down or holding him against the fence a lot. But I'm rooting for Hunt by KO which he CAN do.
