Bisping by UD
Alexander KO 1st
Parysian by UD
Fisher by UD
Doerkson sub 2nd

Alves by UD
McCrory sub 3rd
Lauzon sub 2nd
Aurelio sub 1st

I picked Silva by round 2 sub. He's good on the ground and he comes from chute boxe. After seeing how houston trains I could see him gassing and losing his speed a bit in round 2, opening the door for a nice take down and a sub.

Evans
Alexander
Parisyan
Doerksen
Edgar

Alves
Lauzon
Aurelio
McCrory

Michael Bisping vs. Rashad Evans: Evans 2R KO (GNP)
Houston Alexander vs. Thiago Silva: SILVA 2R SUB (ARMBAR)
Joe Doerksen vs. Ed Herman: DOERKSEN - SPLIT DECISION
Ryo Chonan vs. Karo Parisyan: KARO - UNANIMOUS DECISION
Frankie Edgar vs. Spencer Fisher: EDGAR 3R SUB (REAR NAKED CHOKE)

Wow.. I TOTALLY predicted Thiago Silva walking through Alexander... I am pleased :)

my money was on silva. alexander had too much pressure to live up to all that hype and serious lack of ground skills.
pretty disappointed over fishers loss. edgar proved that he is a good wrestler, but he didn't do any real damage.
