Georges St. Pierre (-500) vs. Matt Serra (+300)
St.Pierre proves that the first fight was a fluke and pound out Serra in the second round. Winner: GSP (Ref Stoppage)
Rich Franklin (-350) vs. Travis Lutter (+250)
A more focused and calculated Rich Franklin will impose his will and Matt Hume's gameplan in route to a unamious decision victory. Lutter will walk away from this fight bruise and battered. Winner: Franklin (Decision)
Nathan Quarry (-265) vs. Kalib Starnes (+205)
Interesting fight. Quarry doesn't look the same after neck/back surgery, but he has only fought once. I think Starnes pulls off a submission victory in this one. Winner: Starnes (Submission)
Michael Bisping (-330) vs. Charles McCarthy (+260)
I'm not real interested in this fight to be quite honest. I'm not a fan of Bisping, but I think that he will be too much for a Charles McCarthy who hasn't fought for quite some time. Winner: Bisping (TKO)
Mac Danzig (-550) vs. Mark Bocek (+350)
Danzig should put on a clinic and tap out the Canadian Bocek fairly easily. Winner: Danzig (Submission)
Jason MacDonald (-165) vs. Joe Doerksen (+135)
This one is probably going to be a snorefest. A good fight, but a boring fight. Doerksen looks to avenge a previous loss to MacDonald in this one, but comes up short. Winner: MacDonald (Decision)
Alan Belcher (-450) vs. Jason Day (+300)
Belcher is a little too well rounded for Day and proves to be too much for him. Winner: Belcher (KO)
Ed Herman (+140) vs. Demian Maia (-180)
Herman has had his struggles and I think that trend will continue here. Maia is slick on the ground and will pull off a submission victory at some point. Winner: Maia (Submission)
Rich Clementi (+120) vs. Sam Stout (-160)
Clementi is on a roll and Stout has shown poor takedown defense in the past. Clementi will weather the storm early and secure a submission victory late in the fight. Winner: Clementi (Submission)
Brad Morris (+200) vs. Cain Velasquez (-260)
Velasquez will show off his wrestling ability and "ground n pound" in this one. Winner: Velasquez (Ref Stoppage)
Kuniyoshi Hironaka (-240) vs. Jonathan Goulet (+190)
Hironaka has mad Judo skills, but Goulet is fighting in his home country. I'm gonna go out on a limb on this one and say Goulet by TKO late in the second round. Winner: Goulet (TKO)
