Ufc 102:
Antonio Nogueira +150
Randy Couture -170
Antonio Nogueria (31-5-1) is coming off a one sided beat down at the hands of Frank Mir. A lot of people don't give that loss much value because Nog was in the hospital or something like that. I give it a lot of value because Nog had his eggs scrambled in the two fights prior to that as well. To quote Joe Rogan "You can only have your lights turned off so many times." In my opinion Nog's bulb is burnt out.
Randy "The Natural" Couture (16-9) is relatively close to getting his AARP card. But that isn't going to stop him just like it didn't stop Robert Redford. Huh? I mean Roy Hobbs. Huh? The Natural... duh.

Now do I mean the movie or the book? What? They made The Natural into a book? Numbskulls... they made the book into a movie. Yeah, reading... I know us UFC type aren't real keen on that. Well little known fact, Roy Hobbs strikes out and loses the last game in the book. But I hate reading so I will go with the Hollywood ending. Randy "The Natural" Couture KO's Nog in stunning fashion as the arena lights explode and shower the ring like shooting stars.
RANDY COUTURE -170
Thiago Silva +130
Keith Jardine -160
Keith Jardine (14-6-1) has a two faced chin. Sometimes it fails him miserably... ok, most of the time. But then sometimes Jardine's chin eats his Wheaties and withstands the flurry of Rampage. Thiago Silva (13-1) has similar issues with his chin. But Silva has only been Ko'd once you say. And that was by The Man. Ahh but our dear friend Thiago has been rocked by the likes of... Antonio Mendes???
Who is this?

Who is this?
The question in this fight is; Who gets tagged first and turns into Glass Joe from Mike Tyson's Punch Out? My guess is Thiago Silva gets exposed again as a win by Jardine sets him up to get KTFO'd by someone in his next fight.
KEITH JARDINE -160
Demian Maia +130
Nate Marquardt -160
Demain Maia (11-0) is finally stepping up and playing with the big boys. And when referring to Nate Marquardt (31-8-2) as a big boy, I mean bad ass mofo. Maia has sick ground skills. But what else does he posses? Kind of a one-trick pony, isn't he?
Demian Maia?

Demian Maia?
The other aspect that concerns me is that Maia actually said in an interview that he wants to beat his opponent without hurting them. WTF is that? I'm not paying $45 to watch two guys be friendly for 15 minutes and then hug with their shirts off after the fight. Give me violence, Nate... give me VIOLENCE.
NATE MARQUARDT -160
Jake Rosholt +120
Chris Leben -150
This fight is like the red-headed step child compared to the other fights. Jake Rosholt (5-1) is coming off an embarrassingly quick submission that exposed him for lack of experience. This former D-I wrestler has little more than said wrestling. The only good thing I can say about him is that he cut his flowing locks before his last fight. Believe me, he looked liked a boner with long hair. The Crippler Chris Leben (18-5) is fresh off a mandatory vacation. Why?

My suggestion. Stay away from this thing. I can see Rosholt showing off his sloppy stand up and getting drilled by one of Leben's bombs and I can see Rosholt taking Leben down for a three round lay n' pray. Either way, red-headed step children are ugly.
