Stacked card, should be damn good.

 

[No More Sorrow]

Definitely an awesome card, good way to kick of 2013 as well.

Aldo is saying if he defeats Edgar here he's going to jump up to 155. Honestly see that playing out. Overeem is going to maul Big Foot as well, not as bad as Cain did but it's still going to be pretty bad.

Fitch/Maia should be good, both have looked pretty good in their last fights, especially Fitch. Shad/Nog should be an easy W for Evans, can see him grinding out a win here, but honestly what does a win over Little Nog do for him at this point?

 

[The Cork]

Mostly one sided squash matches, but Aldo/Edgar and Fitch/Maia more than make up for that.

Quality card, yeah there will probably be a few one sided fights but still it looks really promising. I am not an Edgar fan so I am hoping that Aldo can beat him, be an interesting move if he does go up a division if he wins. Overeem will hopefully pass his drug tests and then should easily beat Bigfoot, will be a good tune up for him having been out for so long with suspension. Little Nog has had a terrible run lately, yes he beat Ortiz but before that there were loses to Bader and Davis and I don't see it getting any better against Rashad.

Will have the prediction thread up within the next 24 hours, so get over their :LESNAR:

 

[Dale]

Who are people picking in the Aldo/Edgar and Fitch/Maia fights? I'm putting some bets on and I really can't feel sure in either of these matchups. I'm leaning towards Fitch but honestly can't make my mind up about Aldo/Edgar.

Overeem and Rashad seem like gimmes

 

[The Cork]

I picked against Edgar in both BJ fights, both Maynard fights and both Bendo fights, so I've learned my lesson not to rule him out again.

Plus I hate Aldo.

Maia has looked good since moving to Welterweight but you shouldn't pick against a grinding wrestler. Fitch UD written all over it, Maia has real bad stamina issues while Fitch is a cardio beast.

You've got Reem and Shad fights down to a tee.

 

[Deezy]

Fitch will neutrilize Maias ground game, wrestling beats Jiu-Jitsu all day.

 

[Big Red Jericho Punk]

I did a full preview of the card here if you watch to check it out. No major upsets here, but still stacked card.

I am another that kept picking against Edgar for his fights against Maynard but I am doing the same here. Edgar won't have the speed advantage against Aldo and I think that Aldo will be too good for him and will take it by decision. Overeem and Rashad should do it easy and I am another that is going Fitch by decision.

I won't be online for the show but hoping that it is a good one. Card looks very promising so hopefully it delivers.

 

[Dale]

29-28 Benavidez for me.

 

[Dale]

Benavidez vs Dodson could be a fun Flyweight fight with their power.

Let's go Fitch.

 

[No More Sorrow]

All Maia in this first round, surprised we didn't see more from Fitch.
