Damn, besides the mainevent, that really is a crap card for a PPV. Bonnar vs Krystof? that should have been on Spike with the other TUF show fighters. I like many of these fighters like Sotiropulos and Matt Brown, but I would think of them as prelim fighters on a PPV at this point.
Brock, TKO round 3(fight of the night)
Akiyama UD
Brown gritty SD
Sotiropulos TKO round 2
Tuchscherer TKO round 1
Grove by sub(sub of the night I'm thinking triangle)
2011 Div III Pacific Region Champions
oh yeah, Krystof by sub round 3 kimura
2011 Div III Pacific Region Champions
Lesnar KO 2: Carwins tires and Lesnar is able to GNP him.
Akiyama UD: Fight of the night.
Lytle Sub 2: The result will be the same as their first fight.
Krystoff UD: Bonnar is garbage, but should be a good fight.
Sotiropoulos Sub 1: George is on a roll and subs Batman easily.
Tuchsherer SD: Lesnar's training partner wins a boring, ugly split decision.
Reljic Sub 1: Grove is terrible and gets subbed quickly.

Yeah, I always support the local guys (watch for Ricardo Romero who makes his UFC debut against Seth Petruzelli on the undercard), but for some reason I never got behind Pelligrino. I saw him fight live for Ring of Combat and Euphoria before he made it to the UFC. But like I said, I'm just not a fan and I think he'll get subbed.

Brock stops him early.
Can't see Lytle losing to Brown for 5, 3 minutes rounds. I'll take him by Sub.
Polish was winning the last fight comfortably, same thing here.
It's a mystery how good that guard truly is, it could totally shut down Kurt, but Im taking his wrestling over George.
Akiyama obviously beats Leben or I question all things I thought I knew about MMA....or life in general for that matter.
Schaub and Romero should win their fights.

What?!! Chris just fought on Saturday...
http://mmajunkie.com/news/19650/chri...main-event.mma
Fresh off a dominant win at The Ultimate Fighter 11 Finale, Chris Leben (20-6 MMA, 10-5 UFC) has agreed to replace injured Wanderlei Silva (33-10-1 MMA, 3-5 UFC) and fight Yoshihiro Akiyama (13-1-2 MMA, 1-0 UFC) in the co-headliner of next week's UFC 116 event.
A source close to the event told MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) Leben has agreed to the bout and is expected to sign shortly.
Leben scored a second-round TKO of Aaron Simpson on Saturday, and if signed, his fight with Akiyama will take place after a mere 12-day layoff.
UFC 116 takes place July 3 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. Leben vs. Akiyama would take second billing on the night's pay-per-view broadcast behind a heavyweight title-unification bout between champ Brock Lesnar and interim title-holder Shane Carwin.
MMAjunkie.com passed along a report from MMAFighting.com earlier today in which UFC president Dana White confirmed that Silva had cracked ribs and was forced to pull out of the fight.
Luckily for Leben, the Nevada State Athletic Commission did not issue him a medical suspension after the Simpson fight, in which he suffered minimal damage.
With the win, Leben improved to 4-2 over his past six fights. "The Ultimate Fighter 1" cast member posted three knockouts wins in the span (over Simpson, Terry Martin and Alessio Sakara).
Akiyama, meanwhile, has been inactive since his UFC debut this past July at UFC 100, where the DREAM and K-1 HERO's veteran defeated Alan Belcher via close split decision for his 11th straight victory.

my thoughts exactly
