Lyoto Machida vs Mauricio Rua
Josh Koscheck vs Paul Daley
Kimbo Slice vs Matt Mitrione

I gotta say that I am particularly happy about this PPV that is set to air May 08, 2010. All three fights in my opinion are going to be amazing.

I think in the Slice and Mitrione fight that Kimbo could take it. If you look at the fight between Slice and Alexander, Slice showed some takedown and ground skills. Although both are considered strikers, I think Kimbo could take it if Mitrione hasn't worked on his ground game. We all know that Mitrione can take a punch, although its suspect about Kimbo having a glass chin. I give this fight to Kimbo via 2nd round KO.

My vision of this fight is that Koscheck will stand with Daley for awhile, maybe about 45 seconds then use his superior wrestling. Koscheck wrestling will tire Daley then Koscheck will go for the KO. I think Daley would have been better matched up with Anthony Johnson, but thats my opinion. I give this fight to Koscheck via the 2nd round TKO.

The Shogun and Machida fight will be more like the last one. Both men will be cautious, but know to go for the kill. Although it won't happen in this fight. Too much is at stake. Expect this fight to go the distance via Machida winning it by split decision.

Anybody else has a different opinion?

Semtex all the way !

Semtex all the way !

Yeah I would give it to Semtex as well, if Koscheck wasn't a good wrestler. Koscheck has ok standup but Daley has that power that reminds me of an UK version of Mike Tyson.

Also excited for this one. Glad they backed up the main event with solid matches. I like your picks bte except for Kimbo. I got Mitrione knocking him TFO and I will love watching it. He's gotta be careful though because Kimbo won't be as easy as that big whiny doofus he just beat. I got Kos over Daley but just barely. Machida will win again in a long tactical fight that many Attention Defecit Disorder fans will mistake as "boring."

Mitrione was rumoured to be James Toney's first opponent but obviously that fell through. That would have been interesting.

Yeah, I think you are right. Mitrione will knock out Kimbo, possibly in the first round. Kimbo's chin is suspect, and I suspect that he can't really take a punch. We all know that Mitrione can take a few punches if you watched TUF 10.

Kos will win, once he experiences Daley knock out power, he will take it to the ground. Which is smart, but in the eyes of the ADD fans, it will be boring.

Here we go bte. I don't have any money on any of these, as the odds weren't of any interest to me, but Mitrione has some good size on Kimbo and Kimbo is a punk bouncer going against a legit athlete. Both of their cardio sucks equally. Let's go Machida, Mitrione, Koscheck, and Heathen Stephens!

Watched the event, this afternoon. It was an alright event. Slice pretty much got dominated the whole fight. Dana White has said that its unlikely that Slice will fight again in the UFC. Kind of sad for Slice because I thought he improved in the Alexander fight, but I guess I was wrong.

The Koscheck and Daley fight went exactly how I figure it would go. Koscheck relied on his wrestling for the win, and didn't want to go toe-to-toe with Daley. It was kind of a punk move that Daley did after the end of the fight. He is out of the UFC as well.

The Shogun and Machida fight was over in the heartbeat. I at least thought it would go 3 rounds, but Shogun showed the world that he was the rightful champion. Truth be told, I have never seen Machida get dominated like that.
