I see a lot of decisions, but good fights on this card for some reason.

Anyways I like the Guillard vs Varner match up...

One of the things I love about the UFC is that more often than not they make fights that make sense.

I did say more often than not.

Jones-Sonnen is like the exception that proves the rule.  The fact that people get so upset about Jones-Sonnen proves how well the UFC matches fighters in general, because in boxing a Jones calibur fighter fighting a Sonnen calibur fighter would be a better than average fight.

I don't really know who to pick for this one, Varner while being a great fighter in his last two fights, even though he lost to Joe, but Varner did get rocked in that fight so we will see how he does with Melvins power and his new wrestling skills though i don't think it will make a difference in this fight. Melvin on the other hand was rocked in two if not three of his last four fights, and Varner does have some power.

I love Guillard, but I think he was overhyped after the Dunham win. If you look at the people he beat, the title implications that were given to him were a little premature. He struggles against anyone with a ground game. He does have potential to be a contender. Almost KO'd Cerrone. But as Chael Sonnen knows, almost doesn't get you UFC gold.

Varner against any striker is interesting, simply because the guy's never been KO'd. This is quite the interesting fight.
