I pretty much agree wholeheartedly with all your picks...and wait...you actually chose DIAZ?

This is a big day in MMA History. Screw Hughes v Royce, yeknom picked DIAZ!

Good pics, mine were the same except I took Vera over Eilers

[yeknom]

i chose eilers solely because of his win over mike kyle and i think he's due after he self destructed against arlovski. the guys built like a volvo. very safe but when it's hit... everything falls off at once.

as far as diaz... i think he's a better striker (but not as powerful) than riggs and is a lot better on the ground. i look for diaz to stand early and dish out some good shots. then he will get blasted and realize it's take it to the ground time. riggs will unleash a wild punch that nick will capitalize on and tap him any way he sees fit. pathetic, considering i loathe diaz and i really like riggs.

also monson... if you haven't seen him fight. look out! this dude is a beast. lee harvey oswald beat gannon on the ground. gannon had no experience at all grappling and it showed. monson when not doing mma is competing and winning jiu jitsu tourneys on the regular. he is taking none of that business from lee harvey. brutal gnp or tapout via monson.

Chuck Liddell vs Randy Couture (cause Chuck'll start throwin his thumbs AGAIN)
Paul Buentello vs Gilbert Aldana
Babalu vs Mike Van Arsdale
Justin Eilers vs Brandon Vera
Brandon Lee Hinkle vs Jeff Monson
Frank Mir vs Pe De Pano Marcio Cruz
Mike Whitehead vs Jardine
Sakara vs Sinosic
Joe Riggs vs Nick Diaz, by a smidgin. Nick will ultimately try for the takedowns & Riggs is good at defending. If Riggs looses tho it'll be via Triangle.

(EDIT) LOL Riggs did almost loose to the triangle!!! Good card tho.

[00thegorilla00]

My Pics are about the same as everyone else. I think we might see an upset or two...

I'm taking RANDY COUTURE over chuck. If Randy fights smart he should NEVER! lose a fight to chuck here's a hint randy TAKE IT TO THE MAT!

FRANK MIR over Marcio Cruz.

BABALU over Van Arsdale

ALESSIO SAKARA over Sinosic.

BRANDON VERA in my upset pic of the night over Justin Eilers.

I'm taking the 15 second man PAUL BUENTELLO over Gilbert Aldana.

I'll take BRANDEN LEE HINKLE over Monson just cause his name makes him sound like a crazy killer like " Lee Harvie Oswald " "Henry Lee Lucas " " John Wayne Gacy ". OK, so the last one didnt have "LEE" in his name sue me!

back to the topic at hand I love watching Riggs fight but there's something about that NICK DIAZ kid. He may have taken a beating from Diego Sanchez but I think he'll pull out a win over Diesel.

After whitehead laid down in his last fight on TUF 2 I cant ever pick him to win a fight again in fact I cant wait for KEITH JARDINE to crack Mike Whitehead right in the fricking grill!!

I'll post my detailed predictions on my myspace.com/thebonillagorilla one of these days

Thank You for the # WebChica


MONKEY #770

[jvd]

-Randy Couture(submission)
- Paul Buentello(KO)
- Babalu(babalu has best submissions in world)(could just go the other way, strange feeling)
- Justin Eilers(dunno, TKO)
- Brandon Lee Hinkle(TKO)
- Frank Mir(submission)
- Jardine(KO)
- Sinosic(TKO)
- Nick Diaz(submission)(Riggs is overrated, not his fault. He gets advertised as a wreckingball and then puts up grandma performances)

[Austin]

For Dana to have given Whitehead a second chance means they know something about whitehead that most people don't. Dana hate's quitters and would probably not have given whitehead a second chance unelss Matt Hughes begged or if he was convinced that it was just a temporary lapse in judgement.

I'm not very impressed with this card, Couture Lidell and riggs/diaz are about hte only fights I want to see. I have Lidell and Riggs winning.

Im looking forward to seeing Sakara again,hopefully his balls dont get front kicked this time...the boy had great boxing skills and was looking strong before his sperm were forced up into his chest

I know it hurts to be kicked there but the kick didn't look that bad and to me it looked like he could have been making it look worse than it actually was.

He did show some skills but I can't give him the benefit of the doubt(regarding the kick to the jewels) until I see how much heart he has.
