sorry to disagree with you but wanted to point some things out.
mir has gotten better but how? i think alot of people forget mir was the youngest heavyweight champ ever in the ufc along with the fact that he was destroying people before his accident. after the accident he lost some fights but never really looked like the old mir. over his past few fights wich includes the submission win over lesnar he has regained his form from before the accident and conditioning along with striking has vastly improved along with a top notch jui jitsu game he has an advantage in all aspects over lesnar except brutal strength and wrestling. as we all know technique can overcome strengh.
next gsp alves....gsp better pray he can keep it on the ground cause if alves can stuff his shot gsp is in for a long night. we all know gsp does not like to get punched...we all remember him tapping out due to strikes from matt sera...lol .. alves is in another class with his striking. like i said gsp better pray he can take alves to the mat otherwise he will e finished on his feet.
i agree with what was said about hendo except for the part of needing a big win..he just beat franklin and his 2 losses in the ufc were both to champs and the rampage loss was a very close fight that could have went either way and the silva fight he controlled the first round but then got handled the next round.
so my picks are mir by submission late 2nd round
alves by ko early 3rd
hendo by ko late 2nd.

My predictions-
Lesnar over Mir R2 TKO (Strikes)- Mir hangs tough in the first round, but Lesnar catches him with a huge right to stumble him, and once youre on the ground and Lesnar begins raining punches, its all over.
GSP over Alves R4 Submission (Choke) If GSP can neutralize the striking of Alves (easier said than done) and keep the fight on the ground, he can really wear him down. We all know Alves has had trouble making weight in the past, so this cut may have a negative effect on him. And as the fight goes on, the advantage has to go to GSP, whose conditioning is nothing other than world class. Alves gets worn down, gets lazy on the ground and GSP catches him in a submission in the Fight of the Night at UFC 100
Bisbing over Henderson R3 Unanimous Decision. Bisbing controls the pace, uses his clinch well, finds a way to avoid the big strikes of Henderson, and really just controls the entire fight. An easy decision for the judges, and very, very, frustrating night for Henderson.
Akiyama over Belcher R2 (Submission) Akiyama comes in with a very impressive pedigree fighting in K-1, and gold medals in Judo to boot. He has looked very impressive in many of his bouts, catching numerous submissions, and that's bad news for Belcher who has actually been pretty prone to submissions himself. Akiyama is just too technically sound for Belcher, and it ends rathter quickly for him.
Fitch over Thiago R1- TKO (Strikes) I was really unimpressed with Thiago's win over Koscheck, and as far as i'm concerned there is not a tougher guy in the middleweight division than Fitch. He is so solid in every aspect of his game, and i really just dont see any way that Thiago lasts too long against him, and he'll go home with his first loss.
Undercard:
Bonnar over Coleman
Danzig over Miller
Jones over O'Brien
Kim over Grant
Dalloway over Lawlor
Gugerty over Grice

This was a great fight night - some really good matches. This was the first UFC my family has ordered since the famous Rampage-Griffin fight a year ago. They also successfully predicted Lesnar, GSP, and Hendo in the main fights.
I also liked the first fight with the Japanese guy winning - I thought the judges might give it to the other guy, but I am glad they gave it to someone who had more takedowns even if he was hit a few times. The Japanese guy clearly had better footwork and overall skills, though he needs to become more comfortable with using his elbows (not allowed in Japanese fights, as the commentators explained).
My family and I have essentially been UFC fans since 1995, before it was "popular" mainstream..

Akiyama robbed Belcher
I loved the Henderson knockout plus Lesnar won his match. That was sick..... I hate Mir he talks too much crap like he owns the place.
GSP was good but didn't really expect him to lose.
Plus Sable oh man how hot was she.

Yeah, I don't see how anyone in GSP's weight class can beat him right now..except if Alves improves his takedown defense. But since GSP is arguably the best in the UFC right now at doing takedowns, that is gonna be tough, lol.

Agrees with everyone that UFC 100 was awesome. I watched it and was really suprised how GSP really dominated his apponent even after huting his groin in the third round. didn't really dig the Brock fight as he seemed vry timid to go toe 2 toe with Mir. After winning flipping off the crowd wasn't cool. If ya thought Brock was an @ss before, ya definately do know. Be sure to checkout my bucket with any wwe, tna, mma cards.

i liked the event, loved the Hendo KO, thought alves woulda put up a better fight against GSP but he got dominated, the main fight with Mir and Lesnar was what i expected but the total lack of class on lesnars end made me not want to see him win anymore.......gettin in mir's face when he was just getting to his feet, flipping off the crowd, and taking a shot at BudLight, who is a major sponsor of UFC, just because they dont give "HIM" any money, was the dumbest thing he did.......i just hope dana white can find someone to beat him..........i personally think its time for FEDOR

If you watched the post conferences White said that Fedor will be in the ufc sooner or later and he will fight lesnar. Lesnar also apologized for his actions after dana white had a nice talking with him and was seen drinking a bud light and not a coors light during the conference. lol. hes just like tito ortiz, you either love him or hate him. I personally dont care for some of the stupid crap that comes out of his mouth but at the end of the day he is a freak of nature that has a lot of talent and will only get better. this was only his 5th mma match i believe and he has beaten veterans. Whether you like him or not he is talented.
