This is going to be a decision filled card I believe.  I'm positive GSP will win via Decision, but I hope Nick get KOTN in the first.  Every other fight on the main card could go either way depending on which version of the fighters appear that night.

I will most likely change a few of those to finishes of some sort, and will probably change the winners come close to fight day.

I don't blame you Skelliher.

That was what I did initially too (and on the last card come to think of it)

I got quite a few myself for now, might end up changing some by the time the card happens though.

Im about to run most of these matches on UFC Undisputed 3, on the hardest difficulty, and let the computer fight it out.


Do it 3-5 times per fight and pick that person as the winner.


Thats what I do for maybe 1-2 fights on a card and it hasnt been wrong since.

Interesting way to pick fights, you should post the results on here so we can see how many end up being right!

THQ used to do that for all the title fights. I don't remember them getting the pick wrong, but it's not that reliable on the method.

@UFC yes he is. He is DLC but was apreorder bonus. Most people who play the game have him. The pack is well worth the price. Nick Diaz, Rory MacDonald, Brian Stann, Phil Davis, Mayhem.

If Hendricks loses to Condit and Ellenberger looks good and wins over Nate does Ellenberger get the next title shot? If Carlos gets a W it will really bring up a lot of unknowns in the ww division.

Fairly sure the winner of Condit/Hendricks gets the next shot. If Saffadine took the fight he would be next with a win. Ellenberger needs 2 wins after the Kampmann KO. Don't be surprised if Maia wins another fight and slides in next. GSP would be hesitant to take him down, imagine that fight looking similar to GSP Shields.

I don't think Condit will get another shot until he wins a couple fights. Putting him back up against Georges that quick after being dominated would be a tough sell. I think Maia might be next but that would be a pretty easy fight for Georges. Maia wouldn't be able to get him down and GSP would pick him apart all night on the feet. 

Tarec with one big win could get a title shot too. Who knows who Rory will fight next either especially if Condit loses.

I look at Condit in a similar light with Sonnen. Sonnen dominated Silva in there first matchup and got another shot after one fight. Yes GSP dominated the fight with Condit but the kick Condit landed provided the doubt that Koscheck, shields, Hardy and anyone since the first Serra fight hasn't offered; a chance GSP might lose. Unless Dan can make GSP Silva happen, and Condit beats Hendricks, I think that is the closest figh for GSP.

Both the Condit fight (for GSP) and the Sonnen fight for Silva made both look beatable. But GSP has lost twice in the UFC, so it's nothing we haven't seen. Before 117, the closest that Silva was in trouble was losing the first round to Henderson before Silva put him in that RNC.

Yep, the camera-man got tired before Nick haha. I would say that he looks like he's in great shape, but he normally is.
