[bushido_man96]

Looks like a good card. I would love to see the Hughes/Silva match. I like Hughes, so that is who I am going with.

[Sensei Tom OBrien]

OK here are my picks:

-Tim Sylvia vs. Randy Couture – Tim Sylvia, KO big right hand

-Matt Hughes vs. Chris Lytle – Matt Huges

-Rich Franklin vs. Jason MacDonald - Rich Franklin, Gonna be good, Rich has to come back

-Renato "Babalu" Sobral vs. Jason Lambert – Renato Sobral, he has been in w/ Chuck 2X

-Martin Kampmann vs. Drew McFedries - Kampmann

Preliminary Bouts:

-Jon Fitch vs. Luigi Fioravanti - Luigi, I liked how he looked against Chris Leben

-Matt Hamill vs. Rex Holman – Hamill, he is 7 yrs. younger, 37 vs 30

-Gleison Tibau vs. Jason Dent – Tibau because he has twice as many fights

-Jamie Varner vs. Jason Gilliam - Varner

Thanks,

Sensei Tom

[Sohan]

None of the bouts really interest me that much, though I'm somewhat interested to see how Sobral does. Jason McDonald is also intriguing, though I think the more compelling story is how Franklin rebounds from his devastating loss to Silva. Matt Hughes is yesterday's news, as the torch has been passed to GSP, the future of that division.

Silvia over Couture by sudden KO or snoozer decision. I can't decide which is more likely, as anything can happen in MMA.

With respect,

Sohan

my predictions: winner in bold[/b]

[Shogun of Harlem]

My $ would be on Sylvia but my heart with Randy. Randy moved down to light heavyweight because the guys were getting to big so i dont understand his logic on this one.

Hughes i think will win but Sohan said it best he is yesterdays news.

Franklin all the way.

Kampmann & Mcfedries i dont know much about either one

Well, I guess Randy and Matt have shown they still have it. Congrats to them.

[Andrew_Patton]

Randy doesn't just "still have it" he looked outright fantastic the other night. Supposedly Pat Milletich said that the first punch he threw rocked Tim bad enough he doesn't remember the 1st, 2nd, 3rd or 4th rounds! definately not bad for an old man. Not to mention, live and in person that place was crazy.
