lol, yeah, seriously.
Like I said, take with a grain of salt. Just thought it was interesting because I thought the label of "#1 Contender bout for LHW Title" was unofficially given to Hendo/Machida. Knowing Dana, I'm fully expecting him to announce that fight for #1 Contender as well.

Benson Henderson(c) Vs Nate Diaz - Unanimous Decision
Mauricio Rua Vs Alexander Gustafsson - First Round KO
BJ Penn Vs Rory McDonald - Unanimous Decision
Mike Swick Vs Matt Brown - Split Decision
My heart says BJ, but my mind says Rory via destruction. Hopefully BJ shows up and puts a hurtin' on Rory Mac.

Man I'm pumped for BJ's return.
I try to stay unbiased but BJ Penn is probably the one guy who I just completely lose professionalism for.

Yeah... Penn is always "back" in the people's eyes everytime he fights. I'm a huge fan of his, but I'm not buying into anything he says anymore. Hope it's a Matt Hughes-style KO for him, if he wins though.

very excited for tonight. siver/phan should be awesome, could be fotn. edwards/stephens could be too, and could yield the ko of the night too.
only main card picks... diaz by decision, gustafsson by decision, mcdonald by decision, swick by ko.

I see Diaz/Hendo being FOTN easily. Im pulling for Diaz all the way but I cant say for sure he'll win. It will definitely be a war and one of the best free main-events we've ever seen.

Well didn't finish him, sure as hell beat the crap out of him. How do you think Siver stacks up against Aldo?

How do you think Siver stacks up against Aldo? aside from edgar, siver and zombie are probably the 2 more intriguing fights out there at 145... but with the way cerrone handled siver, id like to see more. i know siver is big, and can throw strikes from anywhere, i just dont feel like hes elite enough to hang with aldo. i feel like hed be a lesser [though bigger] version of what we're gonna see when edgar fights aldo.

Ref needs to stop the fence hugging, wasting minutes in that fight with nothing; was glad to watch him get pummeled for the wall and stall. =/
