If they decide to make that move, i agree with Doc, he said affliction would be gone within 18 months. They have pretty much made every mistake in the book so far, especially with their fighter payroll. Then they dont want fighters to treat them like a cash cow, what did they think would happen when your paying guys 3-4 times whats considered normal in the industry.

Its great for us tho, get Fedor back in the ring, barnett, arlovski, sylvia, the list goes on and on.. they will eventually go broke but in that time were gonna get to see some much anticipated fights. Pride vs UFC, but not in Pride or the UFC. Love you guys while your around, but dont do the boxing thing..

Diaz/Neer: I got Nate by submission in round 3 here. I think this fight will get to the ground at least a few times and Diaz has all the skills to submit Neer, the reason Im saying third round is because Nate is a slow starter and I think Neer is going to beat him up for a bit before he falls too deep into the comfort zone and then falls in to the submission.

Danzig/Guida: Im gonna go with Mac on this one, I see Guida as a lightweight gatekeeper and if you can get past him you ready for the upper tier and I think Mac is going to make that Plateau very soon. Clays wide open, go for broke style I think will be his downfall because Danzig is just well rounded enough to capitalize on the mistakes of an over zealous Guida. Im calling for a round 2 submission for Mac Danzig.

Herman/Belcher: I dont know why Belcher is the underdog in this fight, I guess hes had few stumbles lately and his stock has dropped a bit. I think Belcher is one of the more underrated guys in the middleweight division and Herman is one of the more overrated guys in the middleweight division. Im expecting Belcher to pick Herman apart on their feet for just about the whole fight with maybe a late fight TKO stoppage.

Schafer/Alexander: I have Alexander by round 1 TKO, but I dont feel all that good about that pick. my thought is that Alexander NEEDS a win so Im expecting him to try for the bumrush quick, TKO in the first is the only way I really see Houston ending it in his favor so thats why I got it that way.

undercard picks:
Alessio Sakara Vs. Joe Vedepo- Vedepo round 1 TKO, no real reason other then this is my underdog pick and I dont think Sakara has a chin.
Wilson Gouveia Vs. Ryan Jensen- Jensen unanimous decision, Gouveia is in a bit of a funk and I think he needs one more lost to wake him up.
Joe Lauzon Vs. Kyle Bradley- Lauzon round to TKO, because he can.
Jason Brilz Vs. Brad Morris- Brilz unanimous decision, because I flipped a coin and he won the toss and UD is a safe way to go.
Drew McFedries Vs. Mike Massenzio- McFedries round 1 KO, because I really like McFedries and that how I want the fight to go.
Dan Miller Vs. Rob Kimmons- Kimmons round 2 submission, again my lucky coin says so and Kimmons seems like hes go some submission skill with 13 of 21 fights won by sumission.

Im picking almost all the underdogs in this event.

I got Mac over Guida, i think hes gonna be tough to deal with at 155 so i got Danzig by split decision.

Im very strongly siding with Neer to beat Diaz, though i like nate and hes a great up an comer, Neer is just a beast on the feet and hes good enough on the ground. Diaz is tough so he will probably survive till the end, so i got Neer by split decision.

The biggest underdog, I got Eric Schafer over Houston Alexander. I say Houston is getting submitted in the first round, its a tough call, but the guy has ZERO skills, so im picking the upset in this one too.

Then i got Belcher over Herman 2nd round tko..

so thats 4 underdogs for this card, my wagers are also all about the underdog picks. Mostly on Neer, if he loses to Diaz, my plans are all down the drain..
