If Machida wins this fight, how can they deny him a title shot...? The guy has beaten some of the best fighters in the world already and still hasn't lost.

Chuck, Shogun and Sanchez to win. I'd love it if Forrest pulled out a win, but on paper he's overmatched.

Jardine will win, Fitch will win (a fellow brother of AKA), and Shogun will win.

If Chuck loses this I could see him retiring...but I highly doubt he will lose.

I can't wait for this. My picks are Diego, Forrest and Nakamura.(Read below for the Liddell one). I only pick Forrest because it should be interesting to see how Shogun adapts to the UFC rules. He likes to use those soccer kicks and stomps to the head and when the persons on the ground and he can't do that here. It's also his first UFC and there could be pressure on him to perform well too. I think we could very well see an upset here.
Also, I hope that Liddell's 90 sec. KO loss knocked him back to reality and he comes in in good shape, motivated and prepared to fight. If he is, Liddell wins, if not, there's another possible upset.

The Ultimate Fighting Championship today announced, via their official website, that American Top Team fighter Wilson Gouveia has been forced to withdraw from his proposed UFC 76 bout “due to a broken nose suffered in training.”
Gouveia was scheduled to face Jason Lambert at the Honda Center on Sept. 22 in Anaheim, Calif., site of the UFC’s next pay-per-view effort.
The UFC also stated that, “the intriguing 205-pound matchup is expected to be rescheduled in the future, and due to time constraints in finding a suitable opponent for Lambert, the UFC 76 card will now feature eight bouts.”

I don't know why but I really feel this will be a PPV with a bunch of upsets.
I think Shogun is a phenomenal fighter but it is hard to go against the trend of PRIDE fighters getting their asses handed to them by UFC fighters. The only one to really impress everyone is Rampage. PLus his style is so unorthodox that I think it will work against him with Forrest. I think Forrest may catch him with one huge left hook or maybe an over-hand right. It should be a good fight nonetheless.
I really want Chuck to win. Not because I like him, but because I don't feel Keith Jardine is main-event material yet. But they both like to slug, they both hold their hands very awkwardly that it is hard to guess what angle their punches will come..so it should be a good and very quick fight. Honestly don't see it going past the first round. If I had to guess I'm going to say Jardine. I want Chuck to win just because I feel a loss will probably affect his fight with Silva in December...but I just see Jardine pulling off the upset.
I want Diego to come back and win this fight. He is such an exciting fighter. His fight with Parisyan was AMAZING. I want that Diego to come back against Fitch.

Call me crazy, but i'd be shocked if Chuck doesn't win. Just don't see him losing here.
Shogun.....i'm not too sure about. Like a previous poster noted, this could just continue the trend of PRIDE guys getting whooped...

He is such an exciting fighter. His fight with Parisyan was AMAZING. I want that Diego to come back against Fitch. This is a real sport. There's no such thing as main event material. Guys go out there and make themselves what they are, earning themselves the oppurtunity to be in the main event. You don't see Jardine as a main event guy because he's not one of the names that was big when Ultimate Fighter noobs starting watching. I'm included in that group too. I watched the whole first season and tuned in to see Ken Shamrock in the finale, so don't take it as an insult. But since then, I've become alot more interested in MMA. I'll save the long story for later. My picks for tonight are below. Diego vs. Fitch: Diego, Unanimous Decision Shogun Rua vs. Forrest: Griffin, either a shocking KO or decision Liddell vs. Jardine: Liddell, KO in either Round 1 or 2. Griffin vs. Tavarez: Griffin, Submission or Decision. Not familiar enough with Nakamura or Machida. |

I got Forrest winning. $10 to win $22.50, so hopefully he does. Also, cheap plug, but www.onlyufc.com for play-by-play tonight. I'll be writing it up and I'm usually faster than any other site out there, plus I give post-round analysis for every round. |
