Liddell
Franklin (This is a tough one because Hamill has a pretty substantial size advantage and I'm not sure how Franklin will overcome that. But Franklin has fought a lot of top competition so I think he will find a way to win. I see it as a close fight tho)
Henderson
Marquardt
Brown
Tavares
Boetsch
Mcdonald
Chonan

So our pics were pretty identical. They better air the Chonan fight.

 

Liddell will fail like he has in his past matches. He is a one hit hopeful.

 

Rashad's wrestling does pose a problem for Chuck. Chuck will have to stay off of his back to win...which will be no easy task against Rashad. But Chuck has beat good wrestlers before. Also, I don't think I could possibly hate Rashad more so I really would love to see him lose.

 

Same height and weight.. Ones fatter than the other?

 

They will both weigh in the same...on fight day Franklin will still be pretty close to 205...whereas Hamill will be in the 220's.

 

Yup, and did you know Anderson Silva normally walks around 220lbs

 

karo parysan is a pussy

 

i was hoping yoshiyuki would fuck karo up too. too bad he pussied out.

 

Chuck Liddell by second round TKO. Evans is still a one demensional wrestler who has average striking and GnP; he'll have an extremely tough time taking Liddell down much less mounting a GnP game on him. Liddell has a good chance of doing a one hitter quitter since Evans doesn't set up his takedowns with strikes.

Rich Franklin by first round TKO. Once again, we have a one demensional fighter taking on an elite level fighter and I don't see Hamill winning this fight either. Franklin looks a little disproportionate at 205 but nonetheless he's near his natural weight so it will offset Hamill's strength/size advantage. Doesn't help that Franklin aims to finish fights (21/23 fights finished by T/KO or submission and he ragged Loiseau to pieces in one decision) and he's well rounded in all aspects.

Rousimar Palhares by first round submission. 2007/2008 has been the year of upsets and BJJ monsters entering the MMA game. "Shorty" is built like a tank at 5'8 and 185 pounds with an excellent BJJ background. He trains at BTT, has a proficiency at landing leg based submissions and aims to finish the fight early on. Likewise, we don't know much about his gas tank and Henderson has to be out for blood to keep his UFC career intact. I can definitely imagine Toquinho dropping down from the clinch and landing another one of those nasty heel hooks in this match so Decision Dan has to be that much more careful since he's been finished off by top level BJJ a few times already.

Dong Hyun Kim by second round TKO -- Kim's going to put Brown on Bitch Street the whole match if he's anything like the last time he fought.

Jason MacDonald by decision.
Tim Boetsch by rape choke.
Tavares by third round submission. FotN candidate.
Marquardt by decision.

Flip a coin to see who wins Chonan/Carneiro.
