Feels like its been months since the last UFC event, but should be well worth the wait.

From what Shogun has shown in his UFC fights, I can’t really see him winning, not even close. This is as big of a lock for a championship fight as can be (probably the biggest other than Silva or GSP fights).

Cain Valasquez over Ben Rothwell should be another lock. Same with Anthony Johnson and Ryan Bader.

Neer vs Tibau could go either way, I’d have to cheer for Neer but I wouldn’t bet on him. Fisher and Stevenson are both good veterans stuck in the middle of the weight class, I’d have to give the edge to Stevenson though.

A nice pick would be Chael Sonnen over Yushin Okami. He’s at +185 when this should be a pickem.
