JDS vs Carwin- How can this fight not be a first round KO? Any other outcome just doesn't seem possible. I think Carwin comes out a little gun shy, he is coming off an injury and his first loss in the UFC. JDS seems full of confidence right now. I think he opens up and is the first to land a big one.
winner: JDS 1st round KO.

the others aren't as easy. I'll post more after lunch.

I'm struggling with the Kenny vs Nunes fight. I think it is possible Kenny handles this cut well, weathers the storm and finds a way to win this fight. But I also think we might see a drained Kenny after the cut. In that case I think Nunes is able to land shots on Kenny and end his FW title run before it starts. For now that is what I'm leaning toward. I think Nunes out works and out strikes Kenny on the way to a dec.
winner: Nunes by dec. 29-28

How has Kenny been looking this week, is he healthy or gaunt ?

Junior Dos Santos vs. Shane Carwin - Going with an upset KO here
Jon Olav Einemo vs. Dave Herman - Better fighter than given credit for...
Donald Cerrone vs. Vagner Rocha - Cowby gets to beat someone for a check
Demian Maia vs. Mark Munoz - Munoz just looks so dominant on TDs and has more powerful shots standing...of course Maia might pull of an upset
Kenny Florian vs. Diego Nunes - After multiple weight cuts to get used to it, he should crush Nunes
Yves Edwards vs. Sam Stout - IDK, just like him more

I think Munoz TKO's him before he wins a UD, I think Maia would sub him before losing a UD also.

Maia has great wrestling for a BJJ guy and Munoz has sub par wrestling for a wrestler of his pedigree. Don't be surprised if Maia can keep it standing should he chose. Not that he would.

Maia vs Munoz- should be a very interesting fight that could go a variety of ways. Munoz may not be great at takedowns but he still has a solid ground game with his wrestling base. Besides getting a shin to the head by Hamill he has shown to have a decent chin and I doubt Maia can really hurt him on the feet. I think Munoz will be able to keep it standing and with his power I think he will eventually find the chin of Maia. I do think this fight will be pretty exciting to watch, I think it will be a great fight.
winner: Munoz by TKO round 3

But "KenFlo" has opted against the strain of a practice cut which
means that Friday's weigh-in will not only be his first attempt at
making the 146-pound cutoff (one pound allowance in non-title fights),
but he has yet to determine how his body will react to the physical
demands of what will be his fourth weight class as a UFC fighter.
Florian tells ESPN.com he "feels fine."

"It's been a tough test of discipline ... I had to get away from
weights the last few weeks. I still feel fine and I think I'll have a
pretty good size advantage. I don't think I had to lose much muscle, but
there was definitely some management with that."

“ Cain [Velasquez] and Junior [dos Santos] are both young, athletic, and extremely talented fighters that will not know what hit them when [Shane] Carwin knocks them out in the first round. ”

maybe a quote from dana not sure but sounds good to me.
