[quote comment=”247411″]For what it’s worth:

Silva via snorkel
GSP via technical knockout
Soku via decision
Poa via technical knockout
Melvin via straight up violence[/quote]

It’s not worth anything. 1-4 to my 4-1.

This is why you got out of the predictions, remember?

Both of you guys pick Machida by decision? Just watch, Soko is another level from the guys Machida has faced.

Machida beat some UFC cans: Hoger, Heath, and Nakamura. He did beat BJ Penn, but BJ was moving up 2 weight classes and he arguably won the fight. He also beat Rich Franklin, but that was back in the day before Franklin had any real experience…and Franklin fights at 185, not 205 like Soko

Soko is a BEAST. He probably outweights Machida by 20 pounds, pre-cut weight.

Watch the fight and you will see how much more POWER Soko has then Machida…[/quote]

Sorry I tried to warn you…

Not bad, not bad. I do think you guys are pretty much spot on, except for Silva. In the one year and a half plus I’ve been commenting here, I have always said Chuck couldn’t handle strikers, and it has been proven lately. Silva has a good chance of doing to him what Rampage did, unless Chuck can adjust. And by all reports, he seems to have stubbornly kept to the same regime and game plan. Can’t wait for GSP to bring the belt home to Canada, I want to touch it when I train with him in mid January.

Silva TKO GSP Lights out for Hughes Guillard The African Assassin in a bloodbath

Personally, I cant wait to watch these fights
Although I think Silva is more well rounded than Chuck, he is sometimes way too reckless (which plays right into Chuck), not to mention I truely think Chuck believes he is gonna get his belt back, regardless. Chuck knockout in round two.
As for the other main event, GSP is my favorite fighter to watch. He is gifted in about every aspect in the Octagon, and he is way too athletic and has too many skills for Hughes to handle. It wont be as devastating as the previous fight, but eventually GSP will knock him out.
The African Assassin is smart enough and powerful enough to finally knock Machida’s boring ass to the mat for a minute or so, but it will take until the 3rd round because Machida will do his usual and Soko, i believe, will be patient.
Clementi will get wrecked (unbelievably) by Guillard, very simple call.

my picks
liddel ko
gsp tko
soko ko
I really don’t see the top 3 fights going to a decision, maybe the soko/machida fight but for some reason I see soko ko’ing machida. I have high hopes for soko, I hope he doesn’t let me down like shogun, that was sickening.
