    There will probably be a lot of decisions on this card.I think Dolloway and Werdum have a very good chance at finishing while Gall and Miocic or Overeem will finish.Then of course the card could be scattered with surprises.Most likely quite a few decisions but not super boring ones like last event imo,pretty much all entertaining fights on paper.I'm very surprised you think Punk and Gall will go to a decision,that will most likely be a quick fight and the +165 over 1.5 rounds reflects that.Of course we haven't seen Punk fight but in his training footage he looks like garbage and Gall is a very capable fighter,he does have 5 wins overall and his last 4 by submission.

    I have it split 5 to 7. I see the top 3 fights ending in a finish of some sort. There are a few that are almost guaranteed to see a final bell however I think we will see more finishes here than we did on last weekends card.

    I'm definitely picking Mickey Gall tonight, he looks far better from the footage I've seen, which CM Punk has almost none of and looks atrocious in training. But Mickey is an untested product. 

    A few unknowns with Mickey; he's inexperienced, I have no idea what his chin is like, no idea how he reacts if he doesn't get the finish or getting beaten up and no idea what his cardio is like. 

    I don't think this is an automatic win for Gall but maybe some people know something I don't. I have Gall to finish in the 1st round and I am confident in it, but if CM won, I wouldn't have this visceral shock that some will have.

    I don't know how anyone can be "confident" in picking either guy. **** it, I'm going with Brooks/Punk.

    And I hope junkie is wrong about Dober/Gonzalez being the opening bout on TV but the way the UFC has been promoting their Fight Pass "headliners", I'm afraid they're right.

    Because Andrade vs Calderwood are both top 10 and are actually relevant to their division while the loser of Eye and Correia could be demoted to Invicta if the loser fought ****** enough.

    I put some money on him because the odds were too good. Who the hell knows what he's really got up his sleeve. The pressure won't get to him, but Gall could very well be out of sorts mentally when it comes time to fight. He's still young and fresh and basically HAS to win so he's not the "guy who lost to Punk." Should be interesting.
