Looking forward to Belcher and Okami. I think with Belcher's previous performance over Palhares, he will dominate Okami. I like Velasquez, but think his chin is suspect ever since he got rocked by Congo. He'll have a puncher's chance and that's it. All JDS has to do is fight conservatively and defend the takedown and he can wait for his opportunity.

Supposedly Cain had a torn ACL or something when they fought last time. He had it repaired so this should be pretty interesting. He has a great wrestling background but JDS also has some decent jiu jitsu but it is rarely seen because he K.O.'s everybody thats stands in front of him (aside from Big Country of course).
As far as the Diaz bros I've always thought there attitudes and personalities were pretty trashy. Their skills always made up for it. I usually hoped they would lose but they rarely did. Nate has been especially dominate in his weight class for the last couple years. As far as I'm concerned Benson Henderson really proved that he can live up to the hype by how easily he beat Nate.

If anyone is interested there is a documentary on the life of Evan Tanner starting on pay per view tonight called "Once I was a champion" The previews looked pretty cool. He was an interesting/strange dude for sure.

My picks for tonight. Should be a good card.

Dos Santos over Velasquez

Miller over Lauzon

Boetsch over Philippou

Belcher over Okami

Brunson over Leben

Also taking Guillard over Jamie Varner on undercard.

Is that the sport with all the shirtless men in brightly colored short shorts? Where the grapple with eachother then try to "choke them out?"

Im gonna go watch Oprah re-runs now...

Just a heads up. There is a free UFC card on FX this Saturday. Looks like a solid card. Bisping vs Belfort in the main event.
