Really looking forward to this one. Machida will go over Couture if he keeps it off the ground. The St. Pierre-Shields match should be excellent. I don't see St. Pierre losing, but it's quite possible that Shields will put an end to St. Pierre's 30 round winning streak.

you should post your picks up earlier so we can get some avatar bets going.

Yeah, that would be cool! I've been on a winning streak lately with my picks.

Well, I was right about Machida/Couture. Machida dropped him in the second round.

I was right about the GSP/Shields fight too. Though Shields did rough him up a little bit, there was no point when GSP was in danger of losing. I think it's going to take Anderson Silva to take GSP to the limit.

Shields striking is atricious. I have been hearing that GSP next opponent is Nick Diaz.

Shields is pretty sloppy, he's had a lot of hype, but hasn't produced too much, in my opinion. I have heard that about Diaz too, but the money match is Silva/GSP.

i got 8 out of 9 of my picks right
There were some great fights last night. That machida kick was crazy. Just like the silva one. Makdessi has great standup and that spinning backfist ko was great.

GSP is the type of guys that play it safe. The only weakness of Silva game could be his wrestling. He got taken down repeatedly against Sonnen, but that could be because of his ribs. Although Silva submitted Sonnen. Silva would destroy GSP on the feet and submit him on the ground. Plus what does Silva have to gain by beating up on a smaller opponent.
