"The Iceman"





Name:

Rashad Evans

Height:

5' 11" (180 cm)

Weight:

205 (93 kg)

Record:

16-0-1


"Sugar"

 


Evans fights are always boring. He'll dance around so much , Liddell will have a hard time hitting him. Let's hope Liddell sneaks one in.

Liddell TKO round 2








Rich Franklin Vs. Matt Hamill

 

Name:

Rich Franklin

Height:

6' 1" (185 cm)

Weight:

205 (93 kg)

Record:

"Ace"





Name:

Matt Hamill

Height:

6' 1" (185 cm)

Weight:

205 (93 kg)

Record:

6-1-0


"The Hammer"

 



Is this a joke? There's still some interesting fights out there at 185 for Frankilin. Why does he need to fight "The Nail"? To get an easy win and a payday.

Franklin by TKO late round one







Karo Parisyan Vs. Yoshiyuki Yoshida

 

Name:

Karo Parisyan

Height:

5' 10" (178 cm)

Weight:

170 (77 kg)

Record:

26-5-0


"The Heat"





Name:

Yoshiyuki Yoshida

Height:

5' 11" (180 cm)

Weight:

170 (77 kg)

Record:

10-2-0


"Zenko"

 


Has "The Heat" figured out that people aren't gong to just lay down for him. I don't know a lot about Yoshida other than he is also a decorated Judo competitor. Somebody is getting thrown on their head in this one.

Parisyan wins by unanimous decision







Dan Henderson Vs. Rousimar Palhares

 

Name:

Dan Henderson

Height:

6' 1" (185 cm)

Weight:

185 (84 kg)

Record:

22-7-0


"Hendo"





Name:

Rousimar Palhares

Height:

5' 8" (173 cm)

Weight:

185 (84 kg)

Record:

17-1-0


"Toquinho"

 


With two losses in a row, it's no secret that Henderson needs this win badly. Unfortunately for "Hendo" Palhares has a pretty mean looking mug shot and great submission skills.

Palhares wins by rear choke in round two








Martin Kampmann Vs. Nate Marquardt

 

Name:

Martin Kampmann

Height:

6' 0" (183 cm)

Weight:

185 (84 kg)

Record:

13-1-0


"The Hitman"





Name:

Nate Marquardt

Height:

6' 0" (183 cm)

Weight:

185 (84 kg)

Record:

29-8-2


"The Great"

 


Interesting fight here. Knapmann is no joke, and has beat some tough competition in the UFC. Marquart has really looked good lately and is a tough fight for anybody. This is a coin flip for me.

Marquardt wins by unanimous decision







Thiago Tavares Vs. Kurt Pellegrino

 

Name:

Thiago Tavares

Height:

5' 7" (170 cm)

Weight:

155 (70 kg)

Record:

17-2-0


 





Name:

Kurt Pellegrino

Height:

5' 8" (173 cm)

Weight:

155 (70 kg)

Record:

17-4-0


"Batman"

 

       
Pellegrino will dance his way to the cage like he's a member of 'The Backstreet Boys'. Then the fight will start and Tavares will take him down, mount him, and pound out the TKO. " Batman" will then dance no more.

Tavares wins by TKO in round one







Dong Hyun Kim Vs. Matt Brown

 

Name:

Dong Hyun Kim

Height:

6' 1" (185 cm)

Weight:

170 (77 kg)

Record:

10-0-1


"Stun Gun"





Name:

Matt Brown

Height:

6' 0" (183 cm)

Weight:

170 (77 kg)

Record:

10-6-0


"The Immortal"

 

      
Matt Brown looked just OK to me on TUF. I know nothing about Kim, other than he has a great nick name.

"Stun Gun" wins by TKO in round two







Roan Carneiro Vs. Ryo Chonan

 

Name:

Roan Carneiro

Height:

5' 9" (175 cm)

Weight:

170 (77 kg)

Record:

12-7-0


"Jucao"





Name:

Ryo Chonan

Height:

5' 9" (175 cm)

Weight:

170 (77 kg)

Record:

14-8-0


"Piranha"

 

      
This is a battle of guys with names that have a bunch of the same letters.  Chonan is the last person to beat Anderson Silva, so that tells you he is no joke.

Chonan wins by unanimous decision







Jason Lambert Vs. Jason MacDonald

 

Name:

Jason Lambert

Height:

5' 10" (178 cm)

Weight:

185 (84 kg)

Record:

23-8-0


"The Punisher"





Name:

Jason MacDonald

Height:

6' 3" (191 cm)

Weight:

185 (84 kg)

Record:

21-10-0


"The Athlete"

 

       
I'm surprised this fight is list so low on the card. these two guys will both come to do battle. Tough call here, but I think Macdonald is the overall better fighter.

Macdonald wins via arm bar in round three







Tim Boetsch Vs. Michael Patt

 

Name:

Tim Boetsch

Height:

6' 1" (185 cm)

Weight:

205 (93 kg)

Record:

7-2-0


"The Barbarian"





Name:

Michael Patt

Height:

6' 0" (183 cm)

Weight:

205 (93 kg)

Record:

15-2-0

Front kick....Knee....Front kick....Thrown to the ground....Pile Driver

Boetsch wins by pile driver, or maybe just TKO in round one
