Him and Jones are like the only person who I want to beat Silva and it's questionable whether either could do it.

Bisping-Stann should be a good fun fight.

Cerrone-Guillard should be even better.

I definitely think Jones could beat Silva. He's just so damn big and lanky, and those strikes come out of nowhere, but Machida and Evans proved that you can hit Jones and Silva is better strikers than both. But Bisping I don't think would stand a chance. He'd just stand in front of Anderson circling as he does, and Silva would study his movements, then strike in the second round. Finishing with knock out of the night.

I think Bisping is looking great, he's a solid contender and has shown a lot of improvement lately but Silva would embarrass him. That's not a knock on Bisping, it's just what Silva does.

Josh Koscheck vs. Jake Ellenberger to co-main event UFC 151.

So UFC 149 is tomorrow night and nobody has any picks at all?

I got Barao, Lombard, Kongo, Ebersole, Clements (stupid pick I know).

Hard to make picks when there are quite a few fighters that I'll admit I don't know enough about. I've never seen a whole fight with Hector Lombard, I don't know who Shawn Jordan is, I've only seen James Head once, and I've never seen Chris Clements.

YouTube Lombard in Bellator. He just walked through everybody. Only 1 person ever put up a fight, and he got dominated all the same.

Well, Lombard is a flop. I'm sure his next fight will be better, but he certainly looked terrible last night.

And Barao is a beast. He's Bantamweights José Aldo.

Prelims were awesome, main card fairly disappointing. Barao is damn good, looking forward to him fighting Cruz.

Vitor Belfort vs. Alan Belcher added to UFC 153 in Brazil.

Now that will be an epic fight.

The injury bug has shown its ugly head again.

Ben Rothwell has been forced out of his fight with Travis Browne, thus canceling their fight altogether.

Rousimir Palhares has been forced out of his fight with Yushin Okami, Buddy Roberts has taken his place. Roberts was already slated to fight Chris Camozzi, but Camozzi also got hurt. Hence the new Okami vs. Roberts match-up.

Fuck me, I was looking forward to both those fights.

Yeah the Browne-Rothwell fight would of been a huge win for either guy, and you know Okami and Palhares would of came to fight their asses off knowing they are both coming off losses.

Oh well, that's the way the cookie crumbles.

Former 2 time UFC heavyweight champion Frank Mir next fight will be in Strikeforce against Daniel Cormier. Both fighters will be in the UFC full time following the fight.

Travis "Happa" Browne vs. Antonio "Bigfoot" Silva to headline UFC on FX 5.

Two big light heavyweight fights tomorrow night. One of them will determine the new light heavyweight #1 contender.

My picks are Shogun and Machida. I'm kinda hoping Machida loses so he drops to middleweight and becomes Anderson Silva 2.

Ditto. Rua and Machido. I don't think I know anything about the other two fights.

Varner-Lauzon should be a good scrap. Varner came out of nowhere and knocked out Edson Barboza a few months back. And JayLo is coming off a nasty KO loss to Anthony Pettis. Lauzon obviously needs/wants the win, and Varner says he's just enjoying the ride cause he's really not even suppose to be in the UFC.

As for the other fight, I'm drawing a blank as to who it is.. :/

So a big night last night.

Mike Swick made his return in a big way picking up Knkckout of the Night over DaMarques Johnson. Swicks first fight and win in over 30 months.

Lyoto Machida earned a title shot with his 2nd round KO of Ryan Bader. Machida looked brilliant in this fight and Bader had absolutely nothing. Although Machida, who came in 4 lbs light, has hinted at a drop to middleweight.

Joe Lauzon ties the UFC record for post-fight bonuses picking up both Fight of the Night and Submission of the Night with his 3rd round submission over Jamie Varner. This was a hell of a scrap.

Junior Dos Santos who is expected to defend his title for a 2nd time against former champ Cain Velasquez, told Dana White that, no disrespect towards Cain, but he wants to fight Alistair Overeem next. Says Overeem is a punk and a cheater and he wants to knock him out. Overeem is currently being denied a fight license until December 27th at the earliest.

Rory MacDonald has been forced out his UFC 152 fight against BJ Penn. MacDonald suffered a nasty cut above his right eye while training this past week. Has to do 1 month without contact. 48 stitches in total.
