My picks in bold for extreme fanciness:

Main Event – UFC Lightweight Championship
BJ Penn (155) vs Kenny Florian (155) - I think Florian has improved enough to seriously contend.

Anderson Silva (205) vs Forrest Griffin (205) - No real reason. I think Anderson will probably win based on his skill as a fighter alone. But there's something about Griffin's big monkey face that keeps me optimistic!

Ricardo Almeida (185) vs Kendall Grove (185.5) - Kendall Grove has apparently improved significantly. His tall awkwardness may be useful?

Josh Neer (155.5) vs Kurt Pellegrino (154.5) - I don't know. I chose Neer because his name is easier to mock if I'm wrong.

Johny Hendricks (171) vs Amir Sadollah (166.5) - I like Sadollah a lot. He's not a huge cocky doucher.

Okay so I wouldn't make a very good bookie.

I hope that with this people will finally be able to see the Forrest Griffin I've been looking at since day one.

Are we talking about his fighting ability or his crybaby running out of the ring.

No shit; what a little bitch thing to do. Granted, that fight had to be one of the most embarrassing things I've ever seen.

Word is Forrest may have dislocated his jaw on the first knockdown.

The only fights that make sense now for Anderson are against Machida and Fedor.

Ken "pee-pants" Florian:

Sort of. He himself has always said he's not really a very good fighter.

I've never seen BJ Penn fight. I've always seen some clips of him choking people out (Matt Hughes) but I've never sat down and watched a fight of his. I think Florian's tactic of trying to wear down Penn against the fence was a bit misguided. It seemed as if Florian was just as taxed as Penn was after he tried it. And Penn still had that great take down defense.
