MAIN CARD (FOX, 8 p.m. ET)
Benson Henderson vs. Gilbert Melendez - for lightweight title
This is going to be a battle! Been looking forward to this one for months now. Melendez has been out of the game for a while due to injury but with the level of guys he trains with I'm not expecting any ring rust or jitters. I think Henderson is better at almost every aspect of mma except for pure boxing-at which Melendez excels at. These are 2 of the best in the business at 155 and pound for pound. I'm picking Henderson in what I feel will be his biggest challenge since coming to the UFC.
Daniel Cormier vs. Frank Mir
I love this match up. Frank Mir has steadily grown on me since his days of brash trash talking. He can still be a little conceided in some of this comments but at his level he can do that. Cormier is bonafide contender that can challenge for the tittle at HW or LHW-although he could beat Cain I don't feel he could beat Jon Jones (although Cain and DC have said they will never fight each other.) If it goes to the ground Mir can submit him, but if it stays standing DC will tag Mir at some point and with Mir's suspect chin that should end it. Considering DC has outstanding wrestling he can dictate where the fight goes and I think he will keep it standing so I'm picking Cormier by KO.
Nate Diaz vs. Josh Thomson
This will be fun. Both these guys come to fight. I'm picking Diaz in this one.
Matt Brown vs. Jordan Mein
I don't why I can't stand Matt Brown-but I do and have always hated him since the ultimate fighter days.
but if I have to pick a winner-I'll pick Brown by decision.
