-Dan Henderson (25-8 ) vs. Renato “Babalu” Sobral (36-8 )
Should be a pretty easy fight for Hendo. He's got too good of wrestling and too strong of punches. I got Hendo by 2nd rd KO.

-Matt Lindland (22-7) vs. Robbie Lawler (17-6)
Pretty even match up, either guy could take it. Lindland was a great fighter a few years back but has seemed to digress a bit. He's still a dangerous wrestler and has the ability to put anybody at 185 on their back. As for Lawler, he has pretty good TDD but i'm not really sure if it's good enough to keep Lindland from putting on his back. However, I think Lawler will find Lindland's chin somewhere in those 3 rounds. Close fight but I got Lawler by KO in the 2nd.

-Scott Smith (17-7) vs. Paul Daley (25-9-2)
Tailor made match up to showcase Daley's skill. He's way too technical for the brawler Smith who has shown that he struggles against more technical strikers. I got Daley by KO in the 1st.

-Antonio Silva (14-2) vs. Mike Kyle (18-7-1)
On an even playing field, Mike Kyle has a chance against anybody, sadly for him, it's not an even playing field. Antonio Silva has a distinct weight advantage over Kyle, it's basically a LHW fighting a true HW. Kyle is game and will make the fight interesting but I think the size disadvantage is just too much to overcome. I got Silva by decision.

-Benji Radach (21-5) vs. Ovince S t. Preux (8-4)
Again, like the Lawler/Lindland fight, this one is a toss up. Radach is the more experience fighter with good all around skills. While OSP is raw, he burst onto the scene his last fight where he beat a pretty good fighter in Antwain Britt. I think Radach is a more refined version of Britt, so it'll be interesting to see how OSP handles the jump in talent. OSP is a phenomenal athlete and from what I saw in his last fight leads me to believe he'll be able to bully the smaller Radach for 3 rounds. A new prospect will be born Saturday, I got OSP by decision.

Should be a pretty decent card

People thought Shields was going to be an easy fight for Hendo but look how that turned out :S

Hes back at 205 though so hopefully he has a better showing.

My picks are:

Dan Henderson
Lawler
Paul Daley
Bigfoot Silva
Benji Radach

And tuf finale is on tonight. Fights aren't very good but i'll still watch it also

Bonnar
Brookins
Maia
Hendricks
Garcia

To be fair,Shields nearly got KTFO in the first minute and a half.I also wouldn't be surprised if Babalu wins, Hendo needs to stick to a game plan even if he can't ko someone

Tats16's post made me think about TUF. I think the final has the best two guys they had on the show although there were a couple of other decent prospects. I really like Brookings' improvement and his humble professional approach to the sport.

It makes me want to pull for him
