This is a Awesome card and I can't wait!
Henderson vs Diaz for the lightweight title
Rua vs GUSTAFSSON!!
Penn vs McDonald
Swick vs Brown
All the prelims look like good fights too.
I got Diaz winning maybe via submission (wishful thinking)
Gustafsson KO Rua in the second putting him possibly one fight away from taking that belt from Bones
I would like to see Penn win but I think he will get beaten up and lose a wide UD
Swick nice fast KO
Who you guy's picking?
Pretty awesome card. I think Bendo is probably too athletic for Diaz and wins a UD with some scary moments. This is a huge step up for Gustaffson but I think he is getting Rua at the right time and finishes him late in the 3rd. Penn/McDonald is a tough one to call. I think Penn in top shape can own the stand up but you just never know what BJ you are going to get. I do agree that Swick turns Brown's lights out.
Unbelieveably i agree with all your picks?! So hope Diaz pulls it off, also hope BJ can go out on a high but i feel Rory will have just a little too much for him on the ground and pound his way to victory.Quote:

I'm going to watch this....surprise.
I hope Henderson wins
Hendo/Diaz should be petty entertaining even for people that are not big fans of MMA.
Well I didn't see that coming. Matt Brown just took Swick's manhood.
Listen to how positive the announcers are and ask yourself when was the last time you heard boxing commentators be so positive.
Good body shots by McDonald
Rory looks good but BJ didn't even show up tonight. The guy has great skills but sometimes thinks he can train half ass and just beat guys on talent alone. If he isn't going to train hard and fight at 155 he needs to hang them up.
Go Gusstofson!!!
BJ should never be fighting at welterweight his last two fights have shown that, lightweight is his domain. I didnt like Rory's antics in the ring, thought that showed disrespect against such a legend in BJ. Saying that Rory did show he is the No1contender to GSP's beltQuote:

Yeah Bendo brought a great game plan and executed it to a T. He has really upped his game over the last two years.
I agree he had zero respect in that fight. Also BJ has no place at 170 in this stage of his career.Quote:

McDonald vs Hendricks needs to be made so we can see that punk get KO'd.
Gustafsson got a great win. It was tough fight and Rua really brought it. I would really like to see Alexander fight the winner of Hendo vs Machida so he can get more experience with the top level guy's before he fights for the belt. He is a legit threat to Jones and I believe it's a toss up between him and Hendo as to who is going to dethrone Jones. Either way both guy's are awesome.
