UFC 127...
* Jon Fitch vs. B.J. Penn
* Michael Bisping vs. Jorge Rivera
* Dennis Siver vs. George Sotiropoulos
* Chris Lytle vs. Brian Ebersole
* Chris Camozzi vs. Kyle Noke
Fitch is phenomenal, but I think Penn just might be hungry enough, and prepared enough wrestling with Hughes, to pull this one. If he doesn't, I think he's going to get into a moody funk again and fall out of the spotlight for good this time. He needs to stay hungry, focused, compelled, and a little crazed. That's the BJ that wins. Get him confident and he undertrains and loses. I want to see him come back strong for one more charge at the title. If he doesn't, this is it for him.
I know Bisping probably has the advantage, but I like Rivera and think Bisping is an arrogant, mangina-toting, soon-to-be-KO'd-again jackarse. I started off liking the guy due to his work ethic, but his personality turned me into a non-fan.
Sots is the f*cking man. This guy is unstoppable right now. He's like a swiss army knife, very versatile...and incredibly composed! Did you see how he dealt with Lauzon's insane ground game? That was shocking. Siver's strong and very solid on the stand-up, but Sots will sub him.
Lytle keeps getting better with...EVERYTHING. Stand-up, ground. The guy's surprised the hell outta me. I didn't expect him to get this good. He really didn't look like he would be earlier on. I have to go with him again, guy's the juggernaut, bitch!
Noke can wrestle croc's and alligators all day long, and he's a likeable guy. And he's with Jackson, so he'll get whatever potential he has brought to the surface. That alone could be a critical factor. But I think Camozzi is hungry, frustrated he missed his shot on TUF, and he's going to push the pace early and go for a TKO or KO of Noke. This one's a tough call because we really don't know what either of these guys can do, it's early yet in their careers (at this level). But I'm going with Camozzi as the underdog upset.

Penn vs Fitch is going to be INTENSE.

Let's see if Fitch's new vegan diet does him well. If it does, don't be surprised if many top fighters start experimenting with it.
