I think Rua vs. Gustafsson winner will face winner of Jones/Hendo vs. Machida.
I can't wait to see Gus move into the top 5.
Jones has quite a few guys that he could face nowadays (at 205):
Gustafsson
Cormier
Sonnen
Davis (needs a ton of work)
Teixeira
Jimmo
Manuwa? Prado? Don't know too much about those 2.
Maybe even Weidman in a few years?

This could EASILY be a STACKED card even for a PPV event, very impressive if it holds up. Looks like I'm in the minority for all of my picks so far WAR BENDO AND WAR PENN!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Nate Diaz hype has gone to far now, ya he got two solid wins against Jim Miller and Donald Cerrone but he still didn't hasn't beat a high level wrestler (No Jim Miller is not so don't even try to argue he is)
Nate should have had to fight either Edgar or Maynard (again) before he gets a title shot in my opinion.
I think Bendo will probably win a fairly one sided decision since he's not going to be stupid enough to just stand in front of Diaz.
I still can't figure out if Brandon Vera looked good in his fight against Shogun or if Shogun just looked like ****, but I'm leaning toward the latter. At the same time though I wasn't really all that impressed with Alexander's showing against Thiago Silva. So I'm kinda thinking this fight will end up looking alot like Shogun's fight with Brandon Vera where they both kinda gas out and just brawl.

Gustafsson is too new school for Shogun.
MacDonald and Penn is most likely gonna end with MacDonalds hand raised ... But **** that, war Penn.

However I think a motivated BJ Penn would destroy Rory.
