Light Heavyweight bout: Randy Couture vs. Brandon Vera
Welterweight bout: Mike Swick vs. Dan Hardy
Middleweight bout: Michael Bisping vs. Denis Kang
Welterweight bout: James Wilks vs. Matt Brown
Lightweight bout: Ross Pearson vs. Aaron Riley
Lightweight bout: Terry Etim vs. Shannon Gugerty

Welterweight bout: Nick Osipczak vs. Matthew Riddle
Lightweight bout: Paul Kelly vs. Dennis Siver
Light Heavyweight bout: Alexander Gustafsson vs. Jared Hamman
Lightweight bout: Andre Winner vs. Rolando Delgado

so what are your predictions ... will Randy Couture's return to the light heavyweight division make some noise ... or will e passing the torch to Brandon Vera ...
 
     
 
deff vera
     
Randy seems to perform better at light heavyweight ... I'm pulling for him in the fight ...
 
     
 
Light Heavyweight bout: Randy Couture > Brandon Vera
Welterweight bout: Mike Swick > Dan Hardy
Middleweight bout: Michael Bisping > Denis Kang
Welterweight bout: James Wilks < Matt Brown
Lightweight bout: Ross Pearson > Aaron Riley
Lightweight bout: Terry Etim > Shannon Gugerty
Welterweight bout: Paul Taylor > John Hathaway
Welterweight bout: Nick Osipczak < Matthew Riddle
Lightweight bout: Paul Kelly < Dennis Siver
Light Heavyweight bout: Alexander Gustafsson < Jared Hamman
Lightweight bout: Andre Winner > Rolando Delgado

These are my picks ...

Though both Couture and Vera are favs of mine ... I'm going with Couture ... he is much more experience ... and I don't think he is over the hill ... he still has some years in him ... I think that Couture is going to take Vera down and beat him up ... as for the clinch ... they are both studs in their respective clinches (Couture - Greco-Roman, Vera - Thai) ... it will all depend who will impose their game ...

The Mike Swick and Dan Hardy fight will be interesting ... both are on a roll ... but for me ... I believe that Swick has this fight ... he is way too fast ... way too powerful ... and has plenty of experience to counteract Dan Hardy ... sure Hardy is working with Freddy Roach ... but there is only so much one can learn before being thrown with the beasts ... and Swick is a beast ...

As the the Bisping/Kang fight ... I think that Bisping is hungry and pissed off ... he wants his respect back ... and he is going to take it ... and Kang is in his way ... Kang however will no doubt be thinking upset ...

As for the TUF guys ... Wilks is over his head ... Pearson will do just fine ... Osipczak is in for a long night ... and Winner will be ok if he avoids the ground ...

Have to agree with most of these ...
 
     
 
Fight Night tommorrow ...
     
If Vera is as good as he says he is he should beat Coture...If coture Sticks to his gameplan and tries to turn it into a wrestling match he should beat Vera...If they both come out swinging its not gonna go past the first round...
Swick should make quick work of hardy and I really hope Kang Beats bisbings a**

I feel kind of like an a** for saying this especially since UFC 105 was free but it ****ing sucked Randy vs Vera was boring as hell Randy just held him against the cage for points the entire fight and did very little and not effective dirty boxing from the clinch Vera should have won he did devastating body kids one bidy kick that made Randy go into the fetal position for a second and Vera got a mount in on Randy UFC's scoring system needs to be revamped Vera should have won. /endrant scream
