This will be the first card I've bought in awhile but I am eagerly anticipating it due to the way overdue grudge match main event between Rashad and Rampage. I got Rashad over Rampage due to his still fighting and training while Rampage was out making a movie. He also beat a very tough opponent in Thiago Silva. Honestly though it could go either way as Rampage seems to get pretty angry. This fight is worth the card price alone imo.

I'll also go with Sanchez over Hathaway and Todd Duffee over Russow. I'd also bet on Bisping beating Miller. This card looks fun as Duffee got the fastest knockout in UFC history his last fight and appears hungry to dive into the steadily growing heavyweight division. Also willing to bet Sanchez wants to step up his game more since being beaten so easily by BJ Penn.

I'm on another site that is doing Avatar bets. You pick a fighter to win, if they don't you get a crappy Avatar for a week. I haven't picked yet but I'm leaning Evans.

Rampage is too busy being a movie star now to train enough to beat rashad.

Bisping over dan miller

So happy to see diego fighting. Love watching his crazy ass. His fights are always fun to watch too.

I always have a hard time predicting noguera fights because he looks like he is 100 years old

nah rampage has been pretty steady over at the wolves lair over the last yr or 2. he is to big, strong and fast plus he knows how to take a beating, no KO like rashad did chuck.

i cant stand diego, although he was exciting to watch get beat down by BJ. lol

wrong nog, this is little nog his twin that only looks 95.

im going with rashad also. If rashad is having trouble with the stand up he can always fall back on his wrestling, something rampage doesnt have. i cant wait to see the famous diego entrance with him repeatedly saying "YES"....LOL.

While Rashad is a phenomenal wrestler, Rampage is no slouch in that department. He wrestled in high school. I've always liked Rampage's explosiveness and his hands. But, Rashad can throw down too. It really could go either way.

my pics are...

Rashad should be able to wear Rampage out, and get a KO in the 2nd or 3rd.

Ever since Bisping showed his colors after he beat Matt Hammil, i'll root for whoever he's fighting...i despise Bisping

i think Diego will be a machine, and win...not a huge fan of his though.

got Lil Nog by submission...
