Main card

Welterweight bout:  James Wilks vs. Claude Patrick

Winner: Patrick by submission

Patrick has an overall better fight record and has won most of these fights by submission.  While Wilks won the The Ultimate Fighter season 9, Patrick is also a former title holder from an MMA promotion in Canada.

Heavyweight bout:  Cheick Kongo vs. Travis Browne

Winner: Browne by knock out

I am going with Browne to get the upset of the night.  Kongo may have more fights on his record and have the punching power, but Browne has won 8 of his ten fights by knock out/TKO

Welterweight bout: John Hathaway vs. Mike Pyle

Winner: Hathaway by decision

Although Pyle has more fights on his record, it is always hard not to pick the undefeated fighter, especially when he will most likely have the home crowd behind him.

Welterweight bout: Dan Hardy vs. Carlos Condit

Winner: Hardy by decision

Not only does Hardy have the home field advantage, he is also looking to getting back into the title picture.

Middleweight bout: Michael Bisping vs.  Yoshihiro Akiyama

Winner: Bisping by TKO

With the home crowd behind him, Bisping has the potential to dominate Akiyama and take him out early in the main event.
