Heavyweight bout: Frank Mir vs. Mirko Filipovic'
Winner: Filipovic by knock out
In this battle of two heavyweight legends, I am going with Filipvoc ’s striking and devastating kicks over Mir‘s ground game and submission expertise.
I am not counting Mir out, as he has an advantage over Filipovic’s eagerness to take a fight so soon after his match against Patrick Barry. Filipovic’s injury could also have a factor into this match.
Light Heavyweight bout: Antônio Rogério Nogueira vs. Ryan Bader
Winner: Bader by decision
Bader is coming into this fight with 11 wins and no losses while Nogueria is currently at 19 wins and three losses. I am going Bader to go the distance with the younger Nogueria brother and earn the judges’ decision.
Ironically Bader won the Ultimate Fighter season 8 as part of Aontonio Rodrigo Nogueria’s team
Welterweight bout: Matt Serra vs. Chris Lytle
Winner: Serra by decision
Lytle is not only coming into this match with a three fight winning streak, but he also looking to avenge the loss he suffered at Serra’s hands at the Ultimate Fighter 4 finale. Serra is also coming into this fight with a bit of momentum juice after running Frank Trigg out of the UFC last Feburary.
Like Trigg, Serra will beat Lytle again, and like their previous bout, it will go to a decision. This rematch between these two could decide a future contender for a welterweight title.
Lightweight bout: Sean Sherk vs. Evan Dunham
Winner: Dunham by submission
Dunham is another fighter who is coming into tonight’s event with an undefeated streak and like Bader, he has a formidable foe in Sherk, a former UFC Lightweight champion.
While Sherk may be looking to continue his path towards regaining the lightweight title, Dunham will step in the way and throw a wrench in the former champ’s plan in the form of a submission
Lightweight bout: Melvin Guillard vs. Jeremy Stephens
Winner: Guillard by knock out
Guillard has faced problems in the last couple of years, and has seemed to overcome his problems. Like Stephens he is coming into the fight with a two-fight winning streak.
This bout will end quick with Guillard getting the knock out.
