    Im sick of betting against Bisping and having egg on my face.

    His ability to stay in there with bigger more powerful men and dictate a pace in a fight on the feet is becoming something to behold. As we all know he's a capable guy on the ground too, has a great sprawl and a world class scramble and he has the cardio to immediately reset his pace once he's up.

    Bisping UD

    All that said I really really like Phillipou, and its not beyond the realms of possibility he comes in a wipes Bisping out!

    Best fight on the card, probably.

    It's a pretty weak card, overall, though. Looking forward to the Maldonado fight, even though Roger Hollett is terrible. Fabio is always exciting.

    Cariaso/Formiga is a good one, too.

    There are some good guys on the card, but they are up against overmatched opponents. Unless there are some upsets, it's all pretty predictable.

    Think it will be one of those poor striking exhibitions with Evan taking the UD

    Is the main event a 5 rounder? Think Vitor will end it early tbh but if Luke can tap and slap his way past the second then I think his stamina will win out

    RDA has been on a big upswing recently. I think he will take it, but it won't be easy. Dunham can compete with him wherever it takes place. Could be a war, really.

    Don't know why the main wouldn't be five rounds. I agree with your assessment. Luke has never impressed me too much, and I think Belfort will catch him. Luke is well rounded and creative and everything, but he can be tagged.

    I jest, but hopefully it will be one of those cards we get every once in a while where most of the guys have something to prove and it turns out much better than it looks on paper

    Luke ate a few rights during his career, not a good idea with Vitor being a Southpaw and all. Will give him problems, but he does have the edge in footwork.

    I'd go with Lesnar or maybe coleman at heavyweight and GSP probably pound for pound.

    Awesome wrestler and fighter though. The guy knocked out Cro Cop and should have killed Fedor.
