| 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. | |

| 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. | |

| 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.
