Who wins these fights?

1. Shane Carwin vs Cain Velasquez
2. Alistair Overeem vs Josh Barnett
3. Rashad Evans vs Jon Jones
4. Mo Lawal vs Ryan Bader
5. Jon Fitch vs Jake Shields
6. Aussie George vs Evan Dunham

1. Shane Carwin vs Cain Velasquez
2. Alistair Overeem vs Josh Barnett
3. Rashad Evans vs Jon Jones
4. Mo Lawal vs Ryan Bader
5. Jon Fitch vs Jake Shields
6. Aussie George vs Evan Dunham

1. Shane Carwin vs Cain Velasquez- Cardio will survive the early onslaught
2. Alistair Overeem vs Josh Barnett- Barnett may have problems with Overeems sheer strength and striking
3. Rashad Evans vs Jon Jones- Jones wins this only if he can fight a smart/non flashy type fight. Rashad fights too smart these days
4. Mo Lawal vs Ryan Bader- advantage in striking power to Mo, but Bader hasn't forgotten he's a wrestler
5. Jon Fitch vs Jake Shields- It doesn't matter anyway, nobody would be awake at the end regardless
6. Aussie George vs Evan Dunham- Dunham seems to have better striking or at least a wider range of points in it

I don't think Cain has the chin of Brock though.

..and King Mo has?

Even if King Mo decided to just strike with Bader. Bader would not be able to wrestle Lawal and be the one with the advantage. He'd lose that battle as well. He can try but he blew his load taking down Lil Nogueria once in the 1st round. He'd probably never be able to achieve a takedown on Mo and would blow his load on this first couple attempts. This is assuming Bader would even bother. Thats a terrible matchup for Bader, just like Jon Jones is going to be.

I just don't get Ryan Bader. King Mo has a lot to touch up on but i take his striking and wrestling anyday of Baders. Cardio seems bad for both though Feijao is bigger than Mo, likely stronger as well, compared to Nog vs. Bader. I'm just not impressed with Bader, not to mention the judges totally blew the Nog fight.

Yeah, King Mo's wrestling is better than Bader's. The UFC should've given Bader either Franklin or Forrest.

Also who wins-

Randy Couture vs Rich Franklin

Rich. That's easy.

Rich would KO Randy badly at this point.

1. Shane Carwin vs Cain Velasquez
2. Alistair Overeem vs Josh Barnett
3. Rashad Evans vs Jon Jones
4. Mo Lawal vs Ryan Bader
5. Jon Fitch vs Jake Shields
6. Aussie George vs Evan Dunham

1. Shane Carwin vs Cain Velasquez-I want to say Shane but my mind won't let me. I'm thinking Cain would come in with a GSP vs BJ type gameplan of tiring Shane out and winning by sub or decision.

2. Alistair Overeemvs Josh Barnett-This is a hard call for me, awhile ago I would have said Barnett by sub or gnp, but based on the recent performances of both fighters I'm gonna say Reem by TKO

3. Rashad Evansvs Jon Jones-This can and will change but at the moment I believe Rashad has the better wrestling and he'd win the decision because of it

4. Mo Lawal vs Ryan Bader-I think this could be a close fight but something tells me Ryan would get the better of Mo, I'd route for Mo though

5. Jon Fitch vs Jake Shields-Jake impressed me with the win over Hendo but I still think Fitch is the second best WW in the world

6. Aussie George vs Evan Dunham- Another close fight imo but I think Dunham gets the better of George on the feet and takes the win


Man I wish I could really see these fights!

1. Shane Carwin vs Cain Velasquez
2. Alistair Overeem vs Josh Barnett
3. Rashad Evans vs Jon Jones
4. Mo Lawal vs Ryan Bader
5. Jon Fitch vs Jake Shields
6. Aussie George vs Evan Dunham

1. Shane Carwin vs Cain Velasquez = Carwin by KO
2. Alistair Overeem vs Josh Barnett = Overeem by decision
3. Rashad Evans vs Jon Jones = Evans by decision
4. Mo Lawal vs Ryan Bader = Bader by split decision
5. Jon Fitch vs Jake Shields = Shields by decision
6. Aussie George vs Evan Dunham = this is a tough one, I lean towards Dunham by decision
