Alright everyone. With the event starting in less than an hour and with our picks being locked I just wanted to see how everyone sees the fights going. Here are my picks.
Mauricio 'Shogun' Rua VS Jon 'Bones' Jones - Shogun tko round 2
Eddie Wineland VS Urijah Faber - Faber submission round 1
Nate Marquardt VS Dan Miller - Marquardt by decision
Brendan Schaub VS Mirko 'Cro Cop' Filipovic - Schaub KO round 2
Jim Miller VS Kamal Shalorus - Miller by decision
Luiz Cane VS Eliot Marshall - Marshall by decision
Anthony Njokuani VS Edson Barboza - Barboza 2nd round tko
Mike Pyle VS Ricardo Almeida - Pyle by decision
Kurt Pellegrino VS Gleison Tibau - Tibau by decision
Joseph Benavidez VS Ian Loveland - Benavidez submission round 1
Raphael Assuncao VS Erik Koch - Assuncao by decision
Nick Catone VS Constantinos Philippou - Philippou ko round 1
I hope you do really really poorly on the undercard because I have pretty much the exact opposite of your picks.
I've got the same main card picks but my undercard is
Cane, Barboza, Almeida, Pellegrino, Benavidez, Koch, and Catone.

I had Almeida by decision but changed it yesterday, just wasn't feeling it. The Koch fight is a toss up, I just went with the more experienced grappler that has already proven himself. As much as I want to pick Pellegrino I can't. He's one of the smaller guys in the division and he's fighting one of the bigger guys. And as for Catone, I just don't really like him and his style. He could easily win a decision here but I'm going to go with the newcomer anyways.
