I gotta go Randy by unanimous decision. Silva vs Jardine - Silva by KO, I think if he pressures Jardine off the bat it'll be a short fight. Leben vs Rosholt - Going with Rosholt, I think his wrestling pedigree will take him to a decision victory. Leben also hasn't fought in 9 months since testing positive, I think that might effect him. I expect Leben to come out swinging looking for a big win then gass out by the second. Maia vs Marquardt - I'm really pulling for Maia to win this one. Sadly, I think Nate's athleticism and stand up will prove to be too much for the submission master. Vera vs Krzysztof - Vera's technical stand-up will get him the TKO by the 3rd. I gotta go with

Otherwise I think the smart plan is to keep it standing and maybe even clinch and grind him a bit, but I think the ground will spell death for Couture if he takes it there. Also I'm calling Jardine against Silva. It was clear in the Machida fight that Silva doesn't come up with game plans and has trouble with unorthodox fighters, so I think unless he truly has learned from his leasons Jardine is one of the worst matchups for him.

I hope you are wrong about Jardine, but he's been knocked out quite a few times. The rest I'm with you on. I'm most interested in watching Leben fight. I just love watching that guy fight. Amazing how he seems to just paw a guy on the side of the head and the guy collapse. Good Stuff! Jeff,
