Who are you guys picking?
I'm thinking:
GSP
Struve
Stevenson
Howard over Alves in an upset
Oliveira
Dan Miller
Would have said Hazelett over Bocek until the weighins, Hazelett looked like death, so now im not so sure.
PS, anyone else think this is a weak ass card? For a PPV, I want at least 2 fights worthy of a main event. GSP vs. Kos will be awesome, and there are some big names scattered about... nice to see joe daddy fight, and alves back in there, but overall pretty weak in my opinion. Now that the UFC has the WEC fighters to play with, i'd really like to start seeing some QUALITY PPVs.

I got Koscheck with the tko 2nd round maybe.
Agreed Struve v McCorkle is the worst co main event I can remember for a long time.
Really Thiago/Howard Gsp/Kos are the only main card worthy fights on the card.
-
I think Kos has a very good chance but im goin with GSP by decision. The comain isnt very good but i reaaally want to see the olivera fight
-
GSP
Struve
Stevenson
Alves
Miller
Bocek (wanna pick Hazelett, but that would be due to severe bias, im a huge fan)
-
Its a weak card! Co-main sucks! With all that, the fights still can be great! I trust Joe Silva!!!
Koscheck- only because I want to see if they burn cars outside. It could get crazy!
Stevenson
Alves
Oliveira
Dan Miller
Hazelett- even though he looked like a skeleton at weigh ins
-
GSP - 4th Round TKO
Struve
Stevenson
Alves - Why the hell is this not the co-main? Should be FOTN if long, KO-OTN if short.
Oliveira - He looks insanely awesome, but still has a lot to show us before I am decided. Miller is a stout 2nd fight in the UFC. Still, I'll go Oliveira by volume if not a slick sub.
Miller (Dan)
Hazelett/Bocek - Easily the toughest call of the night. Hazlett is so hit or miss, but when he is on, he is a handful. I'm going to go with Hazelett. I think getting a crazy sub on Bocek will be really hard, but he can win 2 ways. One is by controlling the ground, the other more likely one is actually picking Bocek apart at range on his feet. The standing is actually why I'm going to o with Hazelett.
Just for the hell of it: PRELIMINARY CARD (Untelevised)
Bongfeldt by intimidation due to awesome nickname
Pierson - not a huge riddle fan, and we need fresh blood
Almeida - don't know why nobody gives him credit. I think he can easily compete at 170 for contention. The Matt Hughes sub was ridiculous, but doesn't mean that much. Hughes is just a freak of nature.
Audinwood - don't know either fighter, but have heard great things about Audinwood
