Mir by KO.

Dos Santos vs Mir - Not convinced that Mir can defend the uppercut, if I were I'd give him a chance.
Velasquez vs Silva - Big height advantage and striking advantage...Velasquez could smother him but I think he stays standing too long and gets rocked + GnPed.
Nelson vs. Herman - Ridiculous height and speed advantage. Herman is pretty flaky but he'll pull it off.
Miocic vs Del Rosario - Tough to pick so I'll just go with the guy who hasn't had a lengthy layoff.
Struve vs Johnson - Struve's fight IQ is among the worst in the UFC - he won't look for the takedown and he'll plant his back against the cage until he gets KO'd spectacularly by uppercut/overhand combos.
Brandao vs Elkins - Don't know that much about Brandao but Elkins always seemed pretty ineffective.
Barboza vs Varner - Depends on which Varner shows up but Barboza seems like a safer pick.
Miller vs Dollaway - Unless Mayhem was being overly hyperbolic in his interview with Helwani, I think he takes this. Seems very motivated and Dollaway is a flake.
Hardy vs Ludwig - Finally an appropriate matchup for Hardy. So sick of hearing about his losing streak as if it's somehow shameful to lose to GSP, Condit, and Rumble - two of them by decision. He might win this one by sub.
Volkmann vs Sass - Volkmann's fight IQ is tremendous; he'll stay out of the subs and win by decision with his GnP.
Kingsbury vs Teixeira - Not too familiar with Texeira and not often impressed by Kingsbury so I'll just go against him here.
Brown vs Pineda - Brown is one of my favorite fighters but I think Pineda outworks him in this one. Still stunned that he couldn't finish Nam Phan.
Velasquez vs Silva - Big height advantage and striking advantage...Velasquez could smother him but I think he stays standing too long and gets rocked + GnPed.
Nelson vs. Herman - Ridiculous height and speed advantage. Herman is pretty flaky but he'll pull it off.

Agree with most everything else, especially Struve. It's like he thinks he's Schilt reborn or something.

Watch Bigfoot vs. Fedor, then watch these:
Bigfoot's not a big power puncher (somehow unable to knock out Arlovski) but I think he might be surprisingly effective in this one, especially on the ground.

I don't get how counter-punch KOing Nogueira is more impressive than what Silva has done against Fedor, Kyle (yeah I know, the knockdown), and Werdum. Cain was easily outstruck on the feet by Kongo, Rothwell, and obviously JDS.

Dos Santos vs Mir
Velasquez vs Silva
Nelson vs Herman
Struve vs Johnson
Miocic vs Del Rosario - I'll go with Miocic but hoping SDR can make a comeback after his vicious loss to FF top 5er Car last year.

Hmm, I forgot I probably won't be watching cuz I have a dinner and poker game to go to. But I think I'm getting sick so we'll see.

I hope both Roy and Herman are walking carpets and end up getting stuck together in the cage.

Had to close the tab so fast. Shouldn't watch weigh ins at all, much less at work.

With the way this card has been going it would not surprised me if one of the HWs missed weight.
Same...the fuck kind of bet did that man lose? I imagine Uncle Dana is fuming right now.

Varner is shredded.

I kind of want Varner to win.

Wow Lavar just fought 3 weeks ago.

I do too but I think it's because I resent the Pearson and Njokuani decisions even though they obviously weren't Barboza's fault.

No shag carpet fight. Nelson looks like he's not losing any more fat.

Yeah Nelson doesn't look much different...Ariel said he did in the interview the other day but you couldn't really see.

Bigfoot's upper body musculature seems to be all in his back.
God I feel like drm commenting on these guys' bodies. I will stop.

woah, when did Joe Rogan get his head shaved?
ItAintEasyBeinCheesy
it's 4th of July in my asshole
He was trippin on acid and thought his hair was thousands of tiny leaches so he pulled them out one by one.
Not a Jellyfish
but I am a sheep
Should have slapped his hand away and told him he could look but not touch.

Mir will get legit killed tomorrow night and the sport will be federally declared illegal as a result.

Johnson is the most for sure thing on that card.
I wouldn't call a guy who was mounted by Pat Barry a lock.

Who won? Also, Struve is an idiot.
I'm picking Lavar, but there a lot more sure things on the card, e.g. Mir dying.

The legit killing of Frank Mir will be broadcasted at 12:15 am EST on 5/27/12 due to strikes to the noggin.

Nope. This is a Buffalo Wild Wings card. I'll spend $20 and get some shitty food and a decent buzz out of it.
