Kampmann vs Wallace: Kampmann by KO – never bet against a dutch striker vs. another striker, especially if the dutchman has subs too.


O'Brien beats Midoux: his wrestling will see him through the night


Healy will sub Torres after a close fight


Morgan will sub Petz early.


Riggs will hurt von Flue badly, so long as he doesn't fall into that weird guillotine counter choke he does--Riggs is simply too powerful and too damaging.


Koscheck is going to show us yet again why no one wants to see him fight, and win a decision over Goulet.


Sasaki is going to put up more of a fight than most people expect. He's fought a lot of tough guys. Dean Lister is going to win a decision on positioning and sub attempts.


Leben is going to re-assert himself by hurting Jorge Santiago badly.


Main Event: I don't like Diego. He seems like a space retard. That said, Karo isn't going to sub him. Karo has stopped only one fighter with strikes (the unheralded Nick Thompson), so I don't think Karo is going to lay him out either. Diego is going to end up out-positioning Karo for the win, unless Karo manages to throw him into an injury.


Disclaimer: all of these picks are excluding the possibility of a horrific cut opening up because of elbows. Remember kids: in the UFC, anyone can win at any time from any position.

So what were the results? Were your predictions accurate? How was the show?

Wow. Almost all of your predictions were spot on. Too bad you didn't have any money riding on these fights, as you would now be that much richer.

A bit of constructive criticism: Where the hell is the post-fight analysis? You aren't going to build any blog support if you don't update after a big event.
