From the top down...

Georges St. Pierre vs. Jake Shields - GSP, though I think Shields takes a round.

Jose Aldo vs. Mark Hominick - Aldo. Won't even be close.

Randy Couture vs. Lyoto Machida - Undecided.

Benson Henderson vs. Mark Bocek - Henderson. I don't think Bocek has the skills to match. That...and the other Hendo reminds me of Robert Guillame's hilarious character.

Jason Brilz vs. Vladimir Matyushenko - Undecided

Rory MacDonald vs. Nate Diaz - My heart says Rory, but my head says Diaz.

Sean Pierson vs. Jake Ellenberger - Ellenberger. I like Pierson, but Ellenberger's just too good right now.

John Makdessi vs. Kyle Watson - Once I stop laughing at Makdessi's last name reminding me of an Indian version of Sir Mix a Lot, I'll take him to keep the streak alive. Besides, dude has beaten Bulkbuyer Darren's french equivalent Bendy Casimir.

Pablo Garza vs. Yves Jabouin - Tough call. Since 2003, Jabouin's beaten everybody he's expected to beat, and I've only ever seen Garza get stomped by the Mongolian Wolf. I'd say Jabouin probably goes the distance here.

Ivan Menjivar vs. Charlie Valencia - Man...it seems like Menjivar's been around since Royce Gracie was wearing a diaper-gi. If Valencia's allowed to wear stilts in the Octagon, I can see him pulling it off, but Menjivar's got some mad skills when he isn't completely and utterly outmatched. Valencia looked pretty good against Torres until he was stopped, but I think Menjivar's probably got the edge here. That is, unless Valencia comes out wearing an LA Kings jersey like he was hinting toward...then I got Charlie + step stool for the win.

Claude Patrick vs. Daniel Roberts - Undecided

Jason MacDonald vs. Ryan Jensen - Jason MacDonald usually alternates wins and losses in the cage. So...he's due this one.

I was worried he was going to get DQ'd after the third one as it was close to spiking. It was a good event and I really wish i would have went.
