    OK, here we go. I am including 4 under card bouts that are all being broadcast somewhere. Each of the fights include fighters that are well-known. So don't whine, just pick!!!

    Obviously the main event is as good as it gets but I am looking forward to seeing Shalorus get a real opponent with Miller. And make no mistake, Faber has a live opponent in Eddie Wineland. Wineland isn't world class but the guy has good wrestling and can bang. That is my pick for FOTN.

    Also, I can't wait to see Barboza leg chop another opponent.

    Picks come soon but everyone beware that in a close fight between Pellegrino-Tibau and Dan Miller-Marquardt, the Jersey guys will probably get the win, even if it is an utter robbery.

    Doug Crosby is working those fights. The guy who had Frankie Edgar(from Jersey) 50-45 in the first fight.

    Wow, it's just dawned on me, there are 45 points on the line. There could be some huge jumps in the standings as we near the end of the contest for this quarter.

    Pick smart!

    I can't believe Jon Jones is already fighting again. Should be a great card.

    Jones is a big dude. I guarantee you he moves to HW fairly soon.

    It's called strategy, BOSS. Obviously, Newbraski is a big fan of Survivor - where you dont have to be any good - you just have to OUTWIT and OUTPLAY your opponents. He's playing a very smart game....:popcorn::giggle:

    :goodnews:No way you're gonna win this thing now......:cheers:

    WTF you talking about? We both picked the smart pics. Look at the consensus. This is one of the easier cards to dissect besides the main card. Just look at your own pics.
