Ok, let's see... I'll take:
Penn (I like Sherk and he has a better chance if it goes into the later rounds but Penn is just to frigin technical)

Wandy (I think Wandy is going to go off this time.. this is his big chance to move up)

Reljic (who?? )

Machida (this guys is the real deal, the next big thing! ..might be a decent fight though considering Tito will be trying to up his value upon leaving the UFC)

Silva (by the Thiago factor)

Salaverry

Sokoudjou (he needs a win.. show folks that muscles can "sometimes" win fights..lol)

Clementi (he seems refocused)

Yoshida

Tan

Carwin

It's going to be like Christmas in May!!!

[ManOfMuscle]

I like Sherk and he has a better chance if it goes into the later rounds

This is what I thought at first but then I had this thought. Given BJ's conditioning during the last two fights (they both only went to round 2 but he kept the pace furious) AND the fact that he's re-dedicated and should be in even better shape this time, I think he's got at least 3 rounds of gas in his tank. I don't believe Sherk can take a round off of him if he is not gassed, which means even if BJ can't finish Sherk, and he runs out of steam, he will have 3 rounds in the decision.

[JayC]

^^agreed^^ ..but I'll believe it when I see it on Saturday BJ does a little too much talking sometime. It could be one of the reasons he's paired up to train w/Urijah Faber and Lauzon though. Faber is well known for his exploxive pace and conditioning. ..and Urijah can easily learn a thing or two from BJ. If he's been able to match Urijah's conditioning, he'll be golden.

[president_fad]

machidas fight was gay. He didnt look anything special to me.

That's because you're dumb.

[Monstar]

That's because you're dumb.

People want to see a fight not a ho down.

[Easto]

I wasn't very impressed with Machida. He is a great fighter, but his performance wasn't enjoyable to watch.

Yes he won, but I was hoping a more aggressive fight. Tito tried, but he isn't going to win a stand up match. Tito needs to take the fight to the ground if he wants his hand raised. I am sure Machida knew this, but I think he should have been more aggressive on the feet.

[dirkdiggler9969]

Tito losing all rounds 30 27 in dumb. He could've won #2 and if you take away the great knee that Machida thrw in round 3, Tito chased him around the ring and almost submitted him. I agree that Tito lost but 3 30-27 votes... gay.

BTW, Machida is elusive, crafty, slick and most of all boring and gay to watch.

[josh81]

What do you expect? Machida has a karate background...Not the most exciting discipline. I think Chuck would have his ticket though if the UFC let them go at it...Which I personally forsee coming.

[president_fad]

That's because you're dumb.

he just ran around for 15 minutes and threw a quick punch every now and then. I wish tito woulda submitted him.

[Tsaunders]

If sherk would shoot and shoot and shoot again, no way bj could beat sherk. Theres no way that can happen. Instead, a 5"5 guy that cant punch, stood up with the most overrated fighter in history. Sersly, who has penn beaten thats any good beside hughes? He beat an old Jens pulver, wow.

"if he would have . . ." please. he probably would have just been embarrassed with his inability to take penn down.

and machida, i dont want to watch that guy fight again. i dont give a shit how skillfully he avoided damage, first and foremost this sport is about entertainment.

[Tsaunders]

"If he would have" more like, "If he would have tried" he didnt even try, thats the thing
