Happy either way with how the main event could end. If Silva loses then I'll be happy because I really don't like Anderson Silva but if Silva wins, then he'll probably have to fight Dan Henderson next which would be epic! Hendo got humbled (I just wanted to use the word) in their last fight, plus he's expressed the possibility of a unification match as he's the current Strikeforce Light Heavyweight Champion. That's even if he and Dana reach a deal to come back. Why would he drop weight? |

Both Dana and Lorenzo have said they are interested in doing Silva vs. Henderson II, and Henderson also said that a Silva rematch would be the only fight he would consider at 185 right now. |

I want Ross Pearson to win but Barboza is the bigger man with probably the better stand up, especially his leg kicks. if i had to pick a winner here i would go Barboza by UD but it should be an entertaining fight.
Noguiera is going to be Rusty as he hasn't had a fight for about 18 months, he has taken a lot of damage in his great career and i think his chin is suspect now. Brendan Schaub is in form, young and is a heavy hitter. I want Big Nog to prove to me that he isn't finished but i think he gets stopped.
If Shogun is at his very best he will beat Forrest, my fear is that Forrest will take him down and tire him out which will make Shogun to be Gassed like in their first fight. My prediction is Shogun by stoppage but I'm not overly confident with this predo as i don't know if Shogun will ever be back to his best after yet another Knee injury. ( really want Shogun to win, will be pissed off if Forrst wins)
Okami needs to do what Sonnen did and that's take Silva down every round and try to grind out a decision while obviously trying to stop the fight in the process. I don't think he is as good at wrestling as Sonnen though but he does have better Submission defense. if he doesn't do this then Silva gets the win probably by Highlight Reel KO.

I bet he wants nothing more than to get a rematch against Silva. And also because if Silva gets past Okami, it'll be the only logical fight left for Silva. |

Not to mention Dana White has been in talks with the United States Army about using untested, experimental trans-dimensional technology to try and do Anderson Silva vs. Nega-Anderson Silva. |
