This should be a good card, at least on paper...here are my predictions on the fights i'm interested in..
Yves Edwards Vs. Joe Stevenson
This should be Joe's fight, he has looked shaky in a couple bouts lately, but Yves doesnt have the grappling ability to handle Joe on the ground, nor does he have the strength to keep it from there. I'll stevenson by Sub.
Dan Christison Vs. Frank Mir
Ah yes, how sad is the UFC Heavyweight division? Frank Mir is handfed poor Dan Christison here....Dan is a gamer, but simply put hes not even close to being in Mir's league....Mir could eithier TKO him or submit him, its a given eitheir way.
Tito Ortiz Vs. Ken Shamrock
Ah, the grude match....alothough i'm not sure what warrented a rematch, seeing as how Ortiz absolutely administered a beating to Ken in thier first match. That aside, i'll stick pick Shamrock here...hes got heart and he has motivation...Ortiz hasnt looked exactly like the feared striker he built his rep on....I'm picking Shamrock by decision
Andre Arlovski Vs. Tim Sylvia
For the UFC Heavyweight championship
In my opinion, Sylvia was plan lucky last time, and had Arlovski kept his cool this match wouldnt be taking place...however, Sylvia's reign is at an end. Arlovski is faster, a better striker, and far exceeds Sylvia's ground game. Arlovski regains the title.
