Official fight card (so far):

Middleweight bout: Demian Maia vs. Kendall Grove
Welterweight bout: Johny Hendricks vs. Rick Story
Lightweight bout: Michael Johnson/Nam Pham vs. Jonathan Brookins/Kyle Watson
Preliminary card:
Featherweight bout: Leonard Garcia vs. Tyler Toner
Bantamweight bout: Will Campuzano vs Nick Pace
Featherweight bout: Fredson Paixão vs. Pablo Garza
Middleweight bout: Rich Attonito vs. Dave Branch
Should be a decent card, with some interesting match-ups. I'm expecting Johnson to beat Nam Pham and Brookins to beat Watson leading to Brookins vs Johnson. I will be betting on Brookins no matter who he faces if the odds are reasonable, he is the most well-rounded of all the fighters in this season of TUF and also has the best mentality and attitude which can be the key to winning TUF IMO. The likes of Danzig, Sadollah, McGee did/don't stand out in any particular area and were not athletic beasts, but the advantage that they did have was that they were focussed and determined to win. I imagine that Bruce LeRoy and Cody McKenzie will be on the card, along with the two fighters who lose in the semis, and possibly Aaron Wilkinson and Marc Stevens or Spencer Paige could be involved .
Anyway, depending on the odds I will be looking to make plays on Branch to beat Attonito, Paixao over Garza, Toner (if he is the dog) over Garcia, Brookins over whoever!, Hendricks/Story to decision, Bonnar/Pokrajac to decision, and Maia to get Submission of the Night straddled with Maia by decision.
