Here's the card:
Forrest Griffin VS Rashad Evans
Antonio Nogueria VS Frank Mir
Wanderlei Silva VS Quinton "Rampage" Jackson
CB Dolloway VS Mike Massenzio
Cheik Kongo VS Mustapha Al-Turk
Under Card:
Yushin Okami VS Dean Lister
Antoni Hardonk VS Mike Wessel
Matt Hamill VS Reese Andy
Ryo Chonan VS Brad Blackburn
Dan Evensen VS Pat Barry
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Here's my picks:
Don't like Forrest or Rashad, but gotta go with Forrest in a brawl no doubt. Going with Nogueira over Mir early. Then my two favorite fighters not named Tito, i'm going with Wandy over Rampage in the fight of the night. CB wins, this kid has a TON of potential! And Kongo wins. Looks like an amazing card and i'll probably be ordering this one!

My picks would be:
Forrest, Big Nog, Wanderlei (though wouldn't be surprised if Rampage won), CB Dolloway, Al-Turk (though again wouldn't be surprised if Kongo won)
Also, i'm happy that Yushin Okami is finally back. Hope he gets his Middleweight title shot soon.

Forrest wins no question. Rampage over Wandy, and finally Mir destroyes Nogueira, thus giving him the opportunity to embarrass Lesnar again and become World champion.

My predictions:
Forrest wins a long and boring fight that Joe Rogan proclaims is a technical masterpiece and the greatest fight ever, as Mike Goldberg sits still and spouts one liners at the end of each round "And there's the horn and we'll go to round two!" "This one is headed for round three!" "And there's 15 minutes, we're headed to round four!" "THIS ONE IS GOING TO THE JUDGES DECISION!" and "HE HAS DONE IT! FORREST GRIFFIN HAS RETAINED THE UFC LIGHT HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP!"
Wand KOs Rampage. With knees in the first.
Nog beats Mir by Ref stoppage in round 2 after outboxing Mir in round one and stopping a Mir takedown at the beginning of round 2.
And for my surefire prediction: Joe Rogan will claim this to be the biggest UFC event at least 10 times, even though the card is equivilant to one from 2004/2005 before the mainstream boom.

Forrest hasn't been cutting it as champ for me, but Evens doesn't look like he will be much better, hopefully Rampage will get the title (which he never definitively lost) back
It will also be good to see Nog go over agaisnt Mir, even though Mir has had many great promos and has been $$ as a heel. Nobody wants another heel vs heel match, and that's what we would get outa Lesnar vs Mir. Nog is an awesome face that the fans can get behind. Nog vs Lesnar would be a better story even thought the buy rate would probobly be less (if it were Mir vs Lesnar)
Should be a great event to watch

Oh I also pick Arlovski to go over Fedor in January too. Hopefully then we can see Fedor in the UFC.

Well someone doesn't like technical ground fighting Jiu Jitsu. And you call yourself a wrestling IWC smark.
