1) Rich Franklin vs Vitor Belfort
a) Im excited to see Vitor in the UFC. I would like to see what we can do & Im interested to see how he has evolved.
b) From what I remember about Vitor fights that Ive seen, he has one big explosion then gases out. Therefore, he doesnt use his energy wisely.
c) If Rich can weather the storm which I believe he can, I see Rich stopping Vitor by strikes in the second or third round.
d) Rich has been in the better organization.
e) I would give Rich a 65% of winning & Vitor a 35% of winning.

2) Mirko Cro Cop vs Dos Santos
a) Im glad to see Mirko fighting again.
b) I havent seen either fight enough to know what is going to happen.
c) If this Dos Santos is an up & comer, I see him beating Mirko but if not, I see an intimidating performance by Mirko.
d) I think the odds are 50/50.

3) Mike Swick vs Martin Kampmann
a) This is going to be an interesting fight. I havent seen enough fights with similar opponents to know how its going to go down. Both have moved down from 185 to try & be dominate at 170.Both are strikers. I dont know why but I believe Martin is the better striker.
b) Im going to have to give the edge to Martin. Im going to go with Martin by KO in the second round. I would give Martin a 55% of winning & Swick a 45%.

4) Josh Koscheck vs Frank Trigg
a) It seems like both have done the same with similar opponents.
b) I thinks its a 50/50 fight.

5) Tyson Griffin vs Hermes Franca
a) We already seen a model of this fight when Hermes fought Sean Shrek. So I expect it to go the same way.
b) I would give Tyson the edge at 60% of winning & Hermes at 40%.

6) Under card fights I would like to see.
a) Drew McFedries vs Tomaz Drwal I havent seen Drew in a boring fight. I want to see him fight even if he loses.

vitor a beast man holy shit!!!!!!!!!!!!!! sliva vs vitor would be good fight but who fights sliva ?????????????? Marquardt Henderson,vitor i would hate to be dane white for that reason

[BillyDKY]

Vitor is a bad ass. I still hate to see friends fight. He said he was friends with anderson.

[BillyDKY]

Did you see they are going to be showing the preliminary fights on spike?

[BillyDKY]

I watched the countdown last night. I would like to see Vitor fight Anderson Silva. Especially, if he beats Rich Franklin in any decisive manner.

[WartoothisGod]

Franklin, by Split Dec.

Cro Cop, by Unanimous Dec. (OR 1st rd. left-headkick miracle KO)

Kampmann, by RNC 2nd round

Koscheck, by TKO 1st round g'n'p

Griffin, by Split Dec.

and I'll leave the prelims up in the air.

[jeeperjus]

I understand that Belfort wants a "comeback" but Rich wants blood. He wants a title/rematch against Anderson Silva. Rich Franklin will win this fight.

[StupidIsAsHumanDoes]

You are gonna make some bank then. Belfort by TKO in the first.

[BillyDKY]

Training with Randy should help him control himself from exploding & then running out of gas.  Maybe he'll win!

[19bootsy68]

BillyDKY fantastic open line...classic,

Who you think will win on Kampmann V's Daley

Daley has ko power an Mauy Thai World Champion a Cage Rage Champion.

Kampmann Danish Mauy Thai Champion

great stand up and great on the ground with good wins by subs.

Im going for Daley if it stands but if it goes to ground Kampmann will choke Daley out.

Im still going for Daley to win.
