This is not an event thread, which I'm sure will be made closer to the actual airing of the event, but a place where we can put our predictions down and then brag about them later or hang our heads in shame...(personally, I'm hoping for the former, obv) So, I'll list the scheduled fights below and then post predictions! Enjoy! Georges St. Pierre vs. Dan Hardy Frank Mir vs. Shane Carwin Kurt Pelligrino vs. Fabricio Camoes Jon Fitch vs. Ben Saunders Jim Miller vs. Mark Bocek (Prelims) Nate Diaz vs. Rory Markham Ricardo Almeida vs. Matt Brown Rodney Wallace vs. Jared Hamman Rousimar Palhares vs. Tomasz Drwal Matthew Riddle vs. Greg Soto Pick em!

Georges St. Pierre vs. Dan Hardy Frank Mir vs. Shane Carwin Kurt Pelligrino vs. Fabricio Camoes Jon Fitch vs. Ben Saunders Jim Miller vs. Mark Bocek (Prelims) Nate Diaz vs. Rory Markham Ricardo Almeida vs. Matt Brown Rodney Wallace vs. Jared Hamman Rousimar Palhares vs. Tomasz Drwal Matthew Riddle vs. Greg Soto
GSP - sub 2 (kimura) Mir - sub 2 (rnc) Pelligrino - tko 3 Saunders - ud Miller - ud Markham - tko 2 Brown - sd Hamman - ud Palhares - ud Riddle - tko 1
It's not necessarily a poor refection on Carwin, but simply how good Frank Mir is. Carwin is very, very good. Frank Mir is excellent. Seems logical to think that Mir would beat Carwin, even though Carwin would be favored over 98% of other opponents. Just that Mir happens to be in the 2%ish.
Where's lhl this week? These are my predictions if I've somehow missed the official thread. Pierre tko 2 Carwin tko 2 Pellegrino ud Fitch tko 3 Miller sub 1 rear naked Diaz sub 2 guillotine Almeida sub 2 arm triangle Hamman ud Palhares sub 2 heel hook Soto sub 3 guillotine
St. Pierre Sub 1 Mir TKO or Sub 2, but the sub will be set up by him hurting Carwin standing (I hope I'm wrong about this one too)
