Jose Aldo vs Frankie Edgar- Edgar by Split Decision
Rashad Evans vs Antonio Rogerio Nogueira- Evans by KO in the 2nd
Alistair Overeem vs Antonio Silva- Overeem by TKO in the second
Jon Fitch vs Demian Maia- Fitch by TKO in the second
Joseph Benavidez vs Ian McCall- Benavidez by Unanimous Decision

I'm going for Aldo in the main event, but I just don't know. On the one hand I could see his brutal leg kicks slowing down Edgar's movement towards the end, but I could also see him being out-worked and perhaps overpowered, provided Frankie doesn't lose strength with the move down. Rooting for Aldo, but I think Frankie's the safe bet.

Jose Aldo vs Frankie Edgar = Aldo, RNC rd 4
Rashad Evans vs Antonio Rogerio Nogueira = Rashad UD
Alistair Overeem vs Antonio Silva = Overeem, TKO 1
Jon Fitch vs Demian Maia = Fitch UD
Joseph Benavidez vs Ian McCall = Benavidez UD

Tyron Woodley vs Jay Hieron = Woodley UD
Jacob Volkmann vs Bobby Green = Volkman UD
Yves Edwards vs Isaac Vallie-Flagg = Vallie-Flagg, TKO 1
Edwin Figueroa vs Francisco Rivera = Figueroa TKO 2

 

Good movement, varied attack, solid TDD, superior cardio. Woodley will probably win, but I can see Hieron pulling it off. Askren had a difficult time wresting with Hieron, and I could see Woodley having the same problems.

Plus I really dislike Woodley and hope he loses. I usually don't pay attention to subjective stuff like that when predicting fights, but I really don't like Woodley.

 

Aldo- TKO 1
Evans- TKO 2
Overeem- TKO 1
Fitch- UD
McCall- UD
Tibau- SUB 1 (guillotine)
Woodley- UD
Volkmann- UD
Edwards- TKO 2
Figueroa- TKO 1

 

You make a good case.
