    Aldo TKO 3------ I like Aldo to take Edgar's legs out with damaging kicks and then catch him later with KO shots.
    Evans UD ------ Rashad will wrestle his way to a clear but boring UD over Little Nog
    Overeem KO 1----As much as I'd love to see Reem get taken into deep water, tire and get finished, Silva's chin is too hugh to miss.
    Maia Sub 2------ Fitch is a master of sub defense, but Maia at 170 is a different animal.
    McCall UD----- McCall too busy and too well rounded.

    I already started a thread about this card. Mods ban Trplsc. Thank you.

    Moving on. I want Ovreem to lose because he's kinda being a dick to the gentle giant big foot.
    Rashad will win with 15 minute of black blanket offense
    Benevevidez vs uncle creepy is kinda creepy in itself because Benewhatever looks like a 12 year old boy which makes uncle creepy that much creepier!
    I hope Maia wins and with that lose Fitch gets his ass off the ppv cards forever
    And finally Aldo will win because if Gayard can knock you down 34 times then Aldo can knock you down once for good.

    Edgar dances circles around Aldo, tagging him at will, until Aldo gasses and gets choked out in the 4th.
    Evans wins by dominating decision.
    I'm no fan of Overeem, but Bigfoot is terrible. No power at all, and no other actual fighting skills other than being freakishly big. Overeem by 2nd round KO.
    Fitch by snore inducing decision, because that's what he does.
    Benavidez by UD, in spite of McCall having the coolest nickname in all of sports.

    Edgar ud over Aldo, I am really struggling with this though. I love both fighters. This is two of the best in the sport. Its a treat we get to watch it go down.
    Evans by UD
    Overeem by UD, but I will be rooting for Silva every second of the fight
    Fitch by UD
    McCall by something....

    Gotta go with Aldo in the toughest fight of the night to pick, late ko or UD. Still, I probably underate Edgar so wouldn't shock me to see him prove me wrong again.

    Evans by boring ud vs Nog, not a fun fight at all
    It's Overeem time and I expect him to ko BigFoot
    Damn, Maia vs Fitch is hard to call, thinking about it, it's probably harder to pick a winner in this one than in the main event. Still, Maia has looked freaking good at ww so I'm gonna go with him in a close UD
    Benavidez UD McCall, but I don't know much about either so this one is pretty much a wild guess.

    Not a very good card, imo, but a superb main event.

    I like Edgar a lot, but I think Aldo is the better fighter in enough areas to catch Edgar and win early.

    Won't be paying for or watching this card live.

    My boy Gatti picking Nog to pull off a sub against Evans!!! I will change my signature to anything Gatti wants for a month if that happens.

    But here's what the Fightbeat Experts think collectively:

    Aldo stops Edgar
    Evans decisions Nog (Clearest pick of all fights)
    Overeem stops Bigfoot
    Maia over Fitch (Even split between sub and decision)
    Benavidez decisions McCall

    Based on the experts at Fightbeat, Evans is the safest bet while Aldo is the biggest gamble.

    And Boss let his Hanzy personality slip out by telling us his preferences but not actually picking anyone.

    I think i might go with Nog for the win too. But no the sub. I think Nog might KO evans.

    Aldo UD. I think Edgar could win here, but has been screwed many times. So my heart says Edgar, but my brain says Aldo
    Nog tko 3 I dont know why i have a feeling Nog catches evans.
    Reem TKO 1. I was going to pick bigfoot until i saw him at the weighins and he looks like he has full Blown Aids.
    Fitch UD
    Benavidez UD

    Aldo - KO 3
    Little Nog - KO 2 (hoping for anything other than a wrestlefuck decision win by Rashad)
    Overeem - KO 1
    Maia - Sub 2
    McCall - decision (just a guess, I haven't been following midget fighting)

    How is Tibau gonna pass his drug test? Guys who fight at 155 don't have arms like that.

    REED Wound Up Ordering the PPV Tonight...Normally, REED would Go to a Sports Bar, but there's SEVERAL Interesting Fights, so REED Doesn't Want to Deal w/Sports Bar Distractions....

    For those Keeping Count, REED Can't Recall the Last Time he's Ordered a BOXING PPV (Probably Mayweather vs. Dela)....All the While, REED has Ordered Anywhere from 5-10 MMA PPV's, Over the Last Several years....

    Viva MMA!!!....

    It's hard to tell from one fight, but I could see him as a top contender someday. I wasn't happy at first when they started letting the tiny guys into the UFC. Guys like Kimura are changing my mind.

    Fortunately MMA cards and most boxing cards are free over here but if I had to pay for the event, nights like tonight are good value for money.
