I'm sticking with the undercard on the poll so as to hopefully not start a Sherk vs Penn or a Lyoto vs Tito or a Wandy vs Jardine thread.
Not sure which fights are on the undercard or not so I'll just use the ones I think will get upsets.
-Goran Reljic Over Wilson Gouveia
-Rousimar Palhares Over Ivan Salaverry
-Kazuhiro Nakamura Over Sokoudjou
-Yoshiyuki Over Jon Koppenhaver

I see war machine yoshida as a 50/50 fight, not sure who im going to pick. Also think naku has at least a shot at beating soku. The guys no slouch, he took shogun to a decision in his last fight in pride, where he also beat randleman and igor. Hes also been in there with wandy, hendo, little nog, and barnett. Im not sure ill pick him yet, but i defiantly don't see him as a huge underdog.

My Parlay is
K. Jardine, G. Reljic, R. Palhares, Y. Yoshida
i have 175$ on it with Potential Earnings of $26,626
so im hoping they come through , but realistically i know at least one of them is not gonna come through, actually hoping Jardine Looses. If i loose, which im expecting to, i wont loose much, and my picks should make up for it, so this is more for fun, and who knows maybe i'll hit something

Etim has a serious chance of winning! He trains not to far from where I live and people are putting some serious cash on him! I'm not 100% sold on how confident they are in him but I will say he shouldn't be such a underdog!

Im giving my upset to Nakamura over Sokoudjou. Im not too sure why exactly Nakamura is such the huge underdog in this, he's faught overall better competition, and is tough as nails. Im not sure Sokoudjou will put a "Lil' Nog" on him and flash KO him. That and im not sold on Sokoudjou's chin or his ground game when compared to Nakamura's.
Im predicting (and picking) a Nakamura UD, Sokoudjou is still a bit inexperienced and the way he looked when he was on his back against Machida makes me hesitant to pick him.

Etim is known as a LW version of Kendall Grove.
That statement has held less and less weight the past 6 months 
It should be a good fight but Clementi is no slouch.

Etim is really a prime candidate to utilize the rubber guard with his Muay Thai skills standing and overly long legs in guard. I've seen 2 of his fights and haven't seen him attempt it yet. Someone send the man an Eddie Bravo DVD set.

I could easily see half of those listed above hitting but won't go any further into it because the event hasn't happened yet and I'd hate to give anyone picks.
But a 4th degree Judo black belt as an underdog vs. an Upper Decker is laughable.

all of those fighters have a good shot at winning. i have 3 of them picked to win...and the otehr is a flip flop. good investment imho.
