First, my picks.

Preliminary Card

James Te-Huna vs Igor Pokrajac, I don’t know either of these guys, So when in doubt, pick the guy with the hyphen in his name.

C.B. Dollaway vs. Goran Reljic, CB is a total meathead, So I will go with Goran.

Chris Lytle vs. Brian Foster, Lytle doesn’t fight to his strengths, he fights for Fight of the Night bonuses. So, I will go with Foster. Plus this is in Australia and Foster is not only Australian for beer, its also Australian for Foster.

Stephan Bonnar vs Krzysztof Soszynski,  Bonnar really hasn’t done much of late, except beat and old man and test positive for steroids. The Polish Experiment is the pick.

Elivs Sinosic vs Chris Haseman, this is just for the local crowd.  I will go with Haseman.

Main Card

Mirko Cro Cop vs Ben Rothwell, Rothwell all the way. Cro Cop is a she of his former self and never looks like he wants to fight in the Octogon.

Keith Jardine vs Ryan Bader, The Dean of Mean is due for a win, I will go with Jardine.

Joe Stevenson vs George Sotiropoulos. I am going to pick Stevenson here. The guy with the long name will be the crowd favorite of the night, but Stevenson is a gamer and I really think he wins this one via decision.

Wanderlei Silva vs Michael Bisbing, Silva is 1-3 in his latest run in the UFC. Granted he has faced elite fighters in every fight, he just is not the same fighter he once was. Bisbing  has a lot to prove after Hedno KO’d him at UFC 100, beating Kang was step one, Silva will be step two.

Antonio Rodrigo Nogueria vs Cain Velasquez, Big Nog will win this fight, Cain is not able to outsmart him. I see Nog winning via choke in the 3rd round.

Now for Mr. 1978 Quarter

Heads-Tails  (bold are the pick)

James Te-Huna vs Igor Pokrajac.

C.B. Dollaway vs. Goran Reljic

Chris Lytle vs. Brian Foster

Stephan Bonnar vs Krzysztof Soszynski

Elivs Sinosic vs Chris Haseman

Mirko Cro Cop vs Ben Rothwell,

Keith Jardine vs Ryan Bader

Joe Stevenson vs George Sotiropoulos.

Wanderlei Silva vs Michael Bisbing

Antonia Rodrigo Nogueria vs Cain Velasquez

Wow, only 1 heads. Well, all picks are based on the premise that everyone makes weight. I reserve the right to change my picks if someone fails to do so. However, the Quarter does not care and stands by all of its picks. Also the quarter is older than at least 8 of the people fighting on the card.
