That's a lot of upsets lol. I agree with your Kongo prediction. Everyone is picking Nelson but I think as long as Kongo doesn't wear himself out he can win the decision. Kongo has better striking and I don't think either guy wants to take it to the ground. If it does make it to the ground and Kongo is on top Nelson could be in huge trouble.

Yeah I forgot to mention the McKenzie pick as well. Garcia throws caution to the wind and I think he will get tapped out for it. I wouldn't consider that an upset though. Who knows with mma though you may win this event with your picks if things get real crazy lol.

I hope Bisping smashes Belcher and the horrendous tattoo.
