MAIN CARD
Rashad Evans vs. o Ortiz
o VIA i am a big o fan and would love to see it.. Also VIA i hate Rashad one of my least fav fighters in MMA today.. Do i have any technical reasons for going this way? Absolutely not..o might have a snowballs chance in at pulling out a decision.. But i'll take it..
Vitor Belfort vs. Yoshihiro Akiyama
Vitor will never be able to stop choking his ass off in big fights.. But this is a walk-through for him.. Akiyama won't get the TD and probably doesn't even want it he loves to stand so much.. Vitor is too fast and powerful for him.. He wins KO round 1 or 2..
Dennis Hallman vs. Brian Ebersole
Both guys got a gazillion fights.. Could go either way.. Hallman has 38 subs, hopefully this is 39..
Jorge Rivera vs. Costantinos Philippou
Rory MacDonald vs. Mike Pyle
Rory is a comer in the division..

I guess I have to re-do my picks, so here they are:
Rashad Evans vs. o Ortiz - I'm with DB on this one. Nothing pains me more than rooting for Blockhead, but I just can't stand Evans. Go yourself Rashad -- WAR O! (I feel like such a got for even thinking that, let alone typing it)
Vitor Belfort vs. Yoshihiro Akiyama - Ever since Bel took that push kick from Silva, and fell over unconscious, I've had nothing but hatred for him. I never root for Sexyama, but I am this time.
Alexander Gustafsson vs. Matt Hamill - Gustafsson is one bad ass mother er, but The Hammer can't afford to lose this one. It's make or break for Matt, and I just can't root against him.
Chad Mendes vs. Rani Yahya - Submission of the night, book it.
Mike Brown vs. Nam Phan - Come on Mike, you need this buddy. I need this. WE need this. Pound this er.
Trout reading your fight picks always makes me smile.. Comedy gold..
MAIN CARD (Pay-per-view)
Rashad Evans vs. o Ortiz: could care less which one actually wins, just seems more reasonable to go with Evans...he is no Bader that o can take advantage of...
Yoshihiro Akiyama vs. Vitor Belfort
Brian Ebersole vs. Dennis Hallman: Ebesole VIA cartwheel kick!!!
Rory MacDonald vs. Mike Pyle: MacDonald=GSP protege!!
PRELIMINARY CARD ( e TV)
Alexander Gustafsson vs. Matt Hamill
just placed a $50 parlay on Ortiz at +300 and Yanha at +500
probably not going to happen but hey its risk $50 to win $1,150
Nice...
so dana sits ringside only to watch the fight on a 15 inch monitor?
3:20 Chuck gives o some respect.. He was mad o won but applauded..
He always does that .. I don't get it either..
please dana let lil jon be the ring announcer for one fight
Great ending, lol
Rashad Evans vs. o Ortiz - Rashad wants the le back, I don't expect him to take this fight lightly because if he wins he's got the next shot. If o somehow wins, it's by random KO - and Lyoto probably waiting for him.
Yoshihiro Akiyama vs. Vitor Belfort - Love Sexyama, but his heart isn't in fighting any longer. Vitor will finish him in the 3rd.
Constantinos Phillippou vs. Jorge Rivera - Jorge needs a win or he's prolly getting cut.
Rory MacDonald vs. Mike Pyle - Great match-up, 2 very strong WW with great technique that continue to get better. I'll go with Rory, but it could end up a SD for Pyle.
Brian Ebersole vs. Dennis Hallman - Could be a very fun match, both dudes have been around enough to know tricks here and there - I expect a UD for the dude with the rad chest hair.
unofficial pick: Gustafasson over Hamill!
Where is this full interview? Weird how they are releasing this in segments..
lol both are faking this argument

Rashad Evans not buying the o Ortiz comeback script at UFC 133
Evans on Ortiz: “I think you can see his age.”
PHILADELPHIA — It’s unclear whether o Ortiz plans to emulate Rocky Balboa and run up the 72 steps outside of the Philadelphia Museum of Art before his UFC 133 bout against Rashad Evans on Saturday.
The 36-year old Ortiz has spent plenty of time comparing himself to the City of Brotherly Love’s most famous fictional character. The juxtaposition has annoyed Evans.
“He can say, ‘this is my Rocky moment and I’m inspired by Rocky’ all that he wants to,” Evans said at Wednesday’s open workouts. “‘Rocky’ was a movie, man. There ain’t going to be a movie or cameras or someone saying, ‘cut, let’s do that scene again so Rocky can win.’”
Despite a 14-month layoff and several significant career changes, Evans (15-1-1 MMA, 10-1-1 UFC) is beyond confident he’ll beat Ortiz (16-8-1 MMA, 15-8-1 UFC) in the pay-per-view main event at the Wells Fargo Center. Some would argue it’s to the point of iness.
Evans doesn’t think a first-round submission victory over Ryan Bader last month salvaged Ortiz’s career. The 31-year-old Evans puts more stock into the five-year winless streak the former light heavyweight champion endured before the Bader victory.
“ o is not the same fighter he was,” Evans said. “To me, in my mind, he lost the whole ‘wow, that’s o Ortiz.’ He’s not been very consistent. Sometimes he’ll look good. Sometimes he’ll look bad. He fell from that level.”
As thankful as Evans was for Ortiz filling the void left by a Phil Davis injury at the top of the card, this isn’t a matchup that necessarily excites him. He described a victory over Ortiz as “not even close” to meaning what it would have three or four years ago.
That’s when Evans strongly desired a fight with Ortiz. The UFC and Ortiz both promised him an immediate rematch after the two fought to a unanimous draw at UFC 73 in July 2007.
The next matchup never came to fruition, however, as Ortiz dealt with injuries in the months following and the UFC matched Evans with current middleweight Michael Bisping. Evans remembered being heartbroken.
“I was so disappointed,” Evans said. “It kind of messed me up in training for Bisping because I had my mind set on fighting o so much.”
The level of disappointment wore off a little more with each subsequent loss Ortiz suffered. It also helped that Evans ran off a three-fight win streak, including a split decision over Bisping, to seize the belt Ortiz once owned.
At this point, Evans just doesn’t see Ortiz as an equal in the 205-pound division rankings. Evans thinks he’s at the very top, while Ortiz belongs somewhere in the middle.
Ortiz has concocted his own theory as to why Evans is so adamant about his superiority.
“I see a lot of self-doubt,” Ortiz said. “I took Psychology 101 in college. I understand a person’s feedback and how they react to questions and how they react to things.”
Ortiz sees the pressure on Evans as monumental. If Evans wins, he’ll retain his status as the top contender and face the winner of the UFC 135 championship bout between Jon Jones and Rampage Jackson.
Ortiz also opined that Evans is more concerned than he let on about going into his first major fight without the help of renowned trainer Greg Jackson.
“ o can believe what he wants to and use whatever he wants to get motivated,” Evans said.
“I don’t think he’s as quick as he used to be. I don’t think he’s as explosive as he used to be. I think you can see his age. The first thing that starts to go as you get older is your footwork. I think his footwork is a little bit slower than it was.”
