Anyone want to make a side bet on the Mir Vs. Brock fight? Am I the only one taking Mir? I will wager 20 bucks via paypal to anyone that wants in.
Main Card
Heavyweight Championship bout:Champion Brock Lesnar vs. Interim Champion Frank Mir
Picking Brock but worried for him in this fight. Mir is such a bad matchup for him since almost nobody in the HW division has such great subs off their back. Brock can take him down but that is right where Mir wants to be, he knows he can sub Brock or anyone down there at HW. I think Brock keeps it up and KO's him but this could be tight..
Welterweight Championship bout: Georges St-Pierre vs. Thiago Alves
GSP my boy. My fav MMA fighter of all time will prevail once again. Alves is dangerous, real dangerous but he has never fought anyone even close to St. Pierre. Nobody pd for pd has his wrestling, pace, combination of striking and versatility. I don't expect GSP to get through this one without being tested, but bottom line Alves needs to land that big shot to win. He won't take GSP down or sub him, forget a decision too, GSP has barely lost a RD in his career. it's a KO or nothing. GSP will wear him down with wrestling and GNP till he eventually gets rid of him via ref stopppage i say 4th rd, possibly even a sub as Alves is tired..
Welterweight bout: Jon Fitch vs. Paulo Thiago
Fitch beats really anyone not named GSP at WW in the UFC.
Middleweight bout: Dan Henderson vs. Michael Bisping
real tough one to call. Hendo has lost a step and i question his gas tank. While i hate Bisping he is a good fighter, much younger and fast on his feet, good footwork. I like Hendo's experience in big fights and wrestling to get a tough 3 rd decision here..
Light Heavyweight bout: Jon Jones vs. Jake O'Brien
Jones is coming in this weight class...

I picked Mir.
UFC announces four grappling superfights for Fan Expo 2009 in Las Vegas
While it may be of little solace to heartbroken Limp Bizkit fans, grappling enthusiasts will be thrilled to learn of the UFC's latest addition to the organization's first-ever fan expo.
While Limp Bizkit recently canceled their previously scheduled concert, Bill Cooper, Ulysses Gomez, Jeff Glover, Vinicius Magalhaes, Fredson Paixao, Rumina Sato and Joe Stevenson will take part in grappling superfights as part of the weekend's Grapplers Quest tournament.
The UFC Fan Expo 2009, held in conjunction with UFC 100, takes place July 10 and 11 at the Mandalay Bay Convention Center in Las Vegas.
On Friday, July 10, "The Ultimate Fighter 8" cast member Magalhaes will meet an opponent yet to be determined. While Magalhaes has struggled recently in MMA contests, "Pezao" is an eight-time medalist at the Brazilian jiu-jitsu world championships.
That day's main event will see Gomez, a four-time Palace Fighting Championship veteran and multiple-time grappling champion, meet Shooto legend and 40-fight MMA veteran Sato.
On Saturday, WEC contender and four-time Brazilian jiu-jitsu world champion Paixao meets 22-time Grapplers Quest champion Glover.
Additionally, UFC lightweight contender Stevenson, who recently defeated Nate Diaz on the main card of June's The Ultimate Fighter 9 Finale, meets Cooper, a 22-year-old jiu-jitsu black belt that has earned 24 Grapplers Quest les.
The grappling superfights are just one of several activities – including autograph opportunities, training sessions and product demonstrations – available during the fan expo.

What a cool incentive for fans going to this event.
I think Stevenson has his work cut out for him with Bill "The Grill" Cooper. Fredson Paixao are beasts too. These are some serious matches that they put together.
I think I'm gonna have to go to that on Saturday...

(I'm going to UFC 100 so you might not hear from me til Sunday)
With UFC 100 less than a week away, e TV is presenting a five-part special, highlighting the 100 greatest UFC fights in history, as voted on by the fans.
Voting was done over at e.com (Ultimate100. e.com) or by clicking here. Fans were able to choose their top 100 fights from an extensive list of bouts selected by the UFC and e TV.
Each episode of “UFC’s Ultimate 100: Greatest Fights” will count down the top 100 with clips and highlights from each contest. The first one-hour installment (Part 1) will premiere tonight, July 5 at 9:00pm ET.
The next four episodes will air:
Monday, July 6 at 9:00pm ET (Part 2)
Tuesday, July 7 at 9:00pm ET (Part 3)
Wednesday, July 8 at 9:00pm ET (Part 4)
Saturday, July 11 at 9:00pm ET (Part 5)
According to Forrest, him and Mir butted heads and the blood ended up down around his eye (towards the end of the clip)...you can see the lump up around his temple. Would've sucked if he'd have been split open...can you imagine how pissed Dana would be?
when was that?
Fairly recent I would think...here's part 1 (posted 6 days ago) and he had it then.
I hope he doesnt split it right open in the first round. I dont know a lot about how fast the face heals. I don't get punched often.
I would think it won't be an issue...he'll probably still have a bruise/lump on the side of his head and a black eye come fight time though.
