I took Nelson over JDS, but Cain over Brock could happen also.

Yeah Nelson has the best shot there out of everyone. He has the power to contend with JDs standing at least for a little while and if he gets this to the ground he shouldn't have too hard a time winning by decision.

Nelson over JDS would run away with this if this poll didn't include the HW title bout. A Cain V win would hardly qualify as an upset.

Cain over Brock will not be an upset it will be a long time coming.

I went with Nelson over JDS, that's the most likely. I won't be surprised if Cain beats Brock either but I expect Brock to win. No way GSP loses and a Sonnen win is pretty unlikely as well.

I can't help but remember how bad Nelson looked standing against Arlovski. Sure he was screwed in that fight, but he looked bad. That's why I took Cain. I do give Nelson 2nd place though, and think I may pick him. But it's still too hard to forget the tooling he took. And Cain's obviously gonna win.

I went with Rashad over Shogun. I think Rashads standup could give Shogun trouble especially coming off a injury if he rushes back to soon. Shogun should win but I wouldnt be shocked if Rashad beat him.

Why is Frankie over BJ even on this list? Frankie beat him fair and square last time.

Because he's still nearly a 3-1 underdog in the rematch

Rashad because Shogun is coming off a knee surgery and will be a bit rusty, plus he's got the speed,power and wrestling to make it difficult for Rua.

Yeah, I don't see Cain winning as a shock. That fight is 50/50 for me -- my mind is telling me Cain, but after Carwin, my heart is with Brock -- man that sounds gay. I really wouldn't know who to bet on.

Frankie already beat BJ once, so that shouldn't be a shock if he wins again, but I will not risk money on picking Edgar.

I could see Nelson's ground game and heavy-handed punching ending JDS' sick win streak. If the odds are good enough, I will bet Nelson.

I wouldn't be surprised to see Sonnen grind out a win over Silva. I'm serious about that. The odds will be too great not to put something on Sonnen.

I think the least likely win is Koscheck over GSP. He doesn't have anything for GSP. There is no way I would risk money on Koscheck.

I think Shad is going to win against Shogun. His wrestling will give a rusty SHogun fits. I will put a good chunk of change of Rashad.
