Should I even comment? Gonzaga has the same odds as Eddie Sanchez did, that being 40 to 1 against him.
Lyoto Machida vs. David Heath
I am going with Machida on this one because of his aggressive nature in the ring, a lot of heart, and beating a few top UFC fighters in the past.
Michael Bisping vs. Elvis Sinosic
I do not know much about Bisping, but know that Sinosic has never beaten anybody worthwhile besides arguably Jeremy Horn.
Andrei Arlovski vs. Fabricio Werdum
Arlovski in my book has always been overrated and has yet to beat anybody that has amounted to anything in the UFC. Having a weak chin does not help either. This match will probably go down to either or not Werdum can take Arlovski down to the ground or not.
Cheick Kongo vs. Assuerio Silva
Not all that familiar with both fighters, but I am giving it to Kongo for his excellent condition and good knockout power. This fight might go down to if Silva can take Kongo to the ground or not.
I think Cro Cop will beat Gonzaga too...but Gonzaga is a much better opponent then Eddie Sanchez.
I also agree with Bisping beating Sinosic and Machida beating Heath.
However I disagree with the rest. I think that Silva will be too much for Kongo as long as he can avoid Kongo's huge reach. Also, I expect the Arlovski vs. Werdum fight to be really close but Arlovski is a smart fighter and if he sticks to his game I think he can win. But that should be the closest fight of the night.
