Maia won't sub Dong-Hyun Kim, count on that. That's my lock of the night...unless Maia decides to grow a brain.

Silva/Sonnen II
Griffin/Ortiz III
Le/Cote
But I can't help thinking of what could have been:
Silva/Sonnen II
Cruz/Faber III or Faber/Barao
Bisping/Boetsch
Franklin/Le
Griffin/Ortiz III

Look, he throws everything with ill-intent, and who throws hooks like that with their chin up and then just head kicks the dude?
Look at how he dodges every punch, like a white Anderson Silva. And name me another fighter who throws running leg kicks, like how awesome is THAT?
He feints so well, just look at that flying knee he's about to throw. It just looks so fluid.
Look at that SICK takedown, who could've predicted that? The speed in which he shoots and how he mixes it with his striking is just...amazing to look at.
Sorry, you can tell I'm a HUGE Dominick Cruz fan.

Also, I think what makes Cruz so awesome is that he's supposed to be so bad because of the large amount of mistakes in his technique and what not, but he just manages to keep making these "mistakes" work.
