Thank you for the heads up, Fallen. I'll sound off as follows:

Leben vs. Silva: I'll go out on a limb and say Leben(and likely be horribly wrong); I've nothing against Silva at all, but Leben's 5-0 in the UFC, and he's recently shown a surprisingly innovative side to him that most strikers lack.

Evans vs. Bonnar: Rashad has not come anywhere near impressing me with anything he's done; besides, I'm a solid fan of the American Psycho as is. Stephan all the way, but I hope he doesn't take it to decision.

Goulet vs. Cummo: On the other end of the spectrum, Luke impressed me a lot at TUF2 finals, and he wasn't even on the winning side. He can definitely go the distance, and his backgroung in Muy Thai gives him an excellent start to me. Goulet definitely has an edge in experience, but all six of his losses have come via TKO. I feel Luke can exploit that, so I'm tenatively going with him in this bout.

Fitch vs Alves: Two well-rounded fighters in this one. My semi-decision's on Fitch; a slight edge in experience can go a long way in MMA. Either way, I'd be happy to see either man walk away with the duke.

Menne vs. Koscheck: R.I.P. Koscheck, although that means we'll likely have to listen to a Nick Diaz-like tantrum after his loss. The only way I could see this going differently is if it goes to a decision, and all three judges are smoking the same crack that said official was when he scored Josh 20-18 over Diego Sanchez. Although it'd be fresh on the heels of the off-decision of Ortiz over Griffin, so it's possible; is MMA taking a page from bodybuilding concerning poor judging lately?

Hinkle vs. Lambert: My money's on Lambert, but I feel the same about this bout as I do with Alves&Fitch. May the best man win.

It looks to be an exciting card. This paired with UFC 61 is making for an excellent couple of months for MMA.
