    Horn by UD in a boring fight. Nate is decent and needs a good win but Horn still has something left in him to take it.

    Belcher by ko. Seems preety simple but it also could be the fight we get a surprise or was big surprises just an 07 thing.

    Lesnar by ko. I rate Mir pretty highly and im hoping for this result more thaqn predicting it. It all depends on how each fighter wants to play it and I can see Lesnars athletism being the deciding factor.

    Sylvia by SD. Hopefully a better fight than I anticipate. I cant see Nog looking good and Sylvia will just bore his way to a win.

    Predictions just got a lot easier, because Belcher is out with pneumonia and Rob Yundt is stepping in to fight Almeida. Probably for the best, because Almeida was a phenomenal talent and as weak as that division is they need to let him shake the rust off and get back up to speed because he can be a serious contendor.

    He's 6-0 in the Alaskan Fighting Championship. A good wrestler I hear.

    Im a big mma fan but in all honestly, Im only concerned with my fav fighter, Antonio Rodrigo `Minotauro` Noguiera.

    Tim Silvia is just the sort to spring the boring upset but I still go for Nog. For one reason. Its a 5 rd fight gents & that should be plenty for the class to tell.

    Noguiera armbar rd 4.

    Im quite interested to see how Lesner does also but Nog & Tim is the big one for me.

    Lesnar will GNP faded Mir.
    Horn will get the ud
    Sylvia will pound out a boring UD unless he tries a Heath Herring type kick and it lands.

    Can Lesnar actually punch or kick? I am told these are key weaknesses and he doesnt have a submission background. How does he prevail against Mir? I actually think he will because he is very fast and explosive but if he cant punch his way in it will be hard

    Who is training him?

    Christ, if Nog wins, I will probably cry. I don't think a more satisfying thing could happen to me this entire year.

    Did anyone say Nog and Mir will both win via armbar? If not...then Nog and Mir win via armbar. Rd 1 for Mir. Any round for Nog.
