MAIN CARD (Pay-per-view)

•Champ Frankie Edgar vs. B.J. Penn (for lightweight title)
there's no way in hell BJ loses again.

•Randy Couture vs. James Toney
I'd love to see James Toney win by knockout, but Couture is too smart to let that happen. Couture by G&P in the 1st.

Demian Maia vs. Mario Miranda
Maia by submission in round 2

Kenny Florian vs. Gray Maynard
huge Kenny Florian fan. Florian wins by decision. hopefully the elbows will be flying while Gray tries to lay and pray.

•Marcus Davis vs. Nate Diaz
I hate Marcus Davis even more than i used to hate Nate Diaz. Diaz by decision.

PRELIMINARY CARD (Spike TV)

Joe Lauzon vs. Gabe Ruediger
Creepy Joe by submission, rd 3.

Nik Lentz vs. Andre Winner
Lentz by knockout. Andre Winner's name sounds too cocky.

PRELIMINARY CARD

Dan Miller vs. John Salter
Nick Osipczak vs. Greg Soto
Amilcar Alves vs. Mike Pierce

Gotta appreciate the fact that James Toney is the first American to be subtitled on American programming.

MAIN CARD (Pay-per-view)

•Champ Frankie Edgar vs. B.J. Penn (for lightweight title)


All I'm going to say is B.J. better finish it this time. He won't beat Edgar on the cards or standing IMO. He has to get him down and finish him....... I'm calling the upset. Edgar in a decision again.

•Randy Couture vs. James Toney

Randy via submission in the first round
[quote]

•Demian Maia vs. Mario Miranda

Maia via sub in the first. total guess, I don't know Miranda

•Kenny Florian vs. Gray Maynard

Great match up IMO. Tough call. I'll go with Ken Flo

•Marcus Davis vs. Nate Diaz

Diaz will probably be getting his arse kicked the whole fight and then pull some sub out of no where for the win.

The countdown airs at 11pm central on spike per the UFC despite it not showing up on my DVR schedule until wednesday.

I think BJ should win this standing or on the ground. Frankie basically got the perfect storm of a shitty, sluggish BJ fighting outdoors in Abu Dhabi with crap judges under no sanctioning body and still debately didn't win the first fight. I dont think Penn will sit and wait to counter and force Edgar to engage a lot more than last time.

I thought the first fight was very close and could have gone either way. The cards that had edgar blanking B.J. were nonsense. That said, Edgar is quicker then B.J. and will win a points fight IMO. Penn has a power advantage, but he has to land something that will hurt to win on the feet. Obviously B.J. has a great shot and should be the favorite IMO, I just think Frakie will pull off the upset again.

God please let Maynard lose. I really don't want to watch UFC 125 with Jon Fitch and Gray Maynard in the Main and Co-Main events.

There will be a media bonanza if Couture gets knocked out.

Do they drug test where you work?

You putting money down? I would imagine he's just as big a dog as he was the first time.

LIke I said elsewhere, for some reason I think Toney starches Couture.

No shithead.
