Those would be my picks except for the Anderson Silva fight. I have to root against him as he is full of shit. He is a great fighter but he was the guy complaining there was to much show boating and shit talking in the sport. When he is easily the biggest show off there is in the ring.

I hope Vitor cleans his clock. This will be Silva's hardest fight yet.

I can't stand Silva, so I hope he gets beat down but I doubt it, Silva is just too damn fast. The Griffin vs. Franklin fight ought to be the fight of the night, with a decision going either way.

I agree with you about Silva and his show boating, as great of a fighter I think he is "and has proven he is" I always find myself yelling at the tv for him to go down.

What I disagree with you on is the fight being his hardest yet. I have only seen Belfort fight once or twice and was never too impressed. I think the last time I watched him fight was against Franklin and If I remember correctly it didn't go to well for him. Whether I am remembering Belforts fights correctly or not I think Silvas hardest fight was his last fight against Sonnen. I just don't see Belfort putting it to Silva like Chael did. I am really looking forward to it though and although I don't think Belfort will win, I will be screaming at my TV for Belfort to knock him out. I am sure he will catch Silva with something that will get him off balance, I just hope he can finish him.

Chael Sonnen showed that Silva <span style="text-decoration: underline">is</span> beatable. In fact, he should have beaten him but got careless after dominating the fight for 23 minutes. If Belfort went to school, it could be a l-o-n-g night for Anderson.

I'd say Dana will be standing by with a fork to stick whoever loses the Franklin-Griffin fight.

SkyBet has Silva, Jones and Griffin all heavy favorites.

Chael Sonnen showed that if you are on roids he <span style="text-decoration: underline"><span style="font-style: italic">is </span></span>beatable!

I do hope that Franklin wins and also want to see Belfort win!

I see Franklin winning. They are both great fighters, but Griffin hasn't fought in over a year now. I'd also like to see Belfort win!

The silva showboating thing was really outrageous - it really upset me, it made our sport look like a circus. That being said he is one of the very few fighters i would call naturally gifted. He's almost telepathic - belfort is in for an ass whooping.

Unfortunately grandstanding and showboating is the new reality of sports. Too bad that Barry Sanders isn't still around to show what real class is all about. This modest man from Kansas <span style="font-weight: bold">RAN</span> to the linesman after he scored to hand the ball to him. No stupid break-dancing, no trash talking. Pure class.

Should be a great night for MMA anyway.
