Predictions: 6 of 12 Winners, 5 Perfect, 450 Points   |   Tied for 938th

Cain Velasquez returns as the champion to prove that he once again can be the best in the world. But standing in his way once again is Antonio "Bigfoot" Silva. Cain Velasquez coming off his big wins over Bigfoot Silva and the champion in Junior dos Santos to reclaim his belt. Where as Bigfoot is coming of 2 big victories, including once undefeated Travis Browne and in a huge upset over Strikeforce and K-1 champion Alistair Overeem.

They are set to meet again for a heavyweight contest for the UFC Heavyweight Championship.

And for the co-main event we have a great striking battle in the former UFC heavyweight champion Junior dos Santos and the former K-1 champion and PRIDE FC veteran and modern day cinderella man, Mark "Super Samoan" Hunt. A true test in striking to find out who could be next for the title.

And for a battle of Light Heavyweights we have the Brazilian sensation in Glover Teixeira taking on an Australian contender in James Te Huna.

And to start out the Pay Per View Night we have 2 Lightweight matches starting with Donald "Cowboy" Cerrone vs a man making his UFC debut KJ Noons, and after that 2 top 10 contenders in TJ Grant and Gray "The Bully" Maynard will battle it out to see where they stand in the Lightweight Division.

A great night of fights for a great main card along with a must watch prelims.

Make your predictions and enjoy a great night of fights for the UFC Heavyweight Championship

Thompson is complete style over substance. 

Give him Brandon Thatch next and see how those flashy kicks work out for him...

Thompson is so tired he's stumbling around in the 3rd round and Burrell lands more and Burrell loses? Hmmm

I was going hard for Burrell...but i had it 29-28 Wonderboy. Burrell should have had a wrestling gameplan and he didn't...too bad.

Just because Burrell landed more doesn't mean he won. Another example of why the punch stats don't always tell the whole story. Theres a reason it's not scored like stupid olympic boxing

I still can't get over the fact that George Roop defeated Brian Bowles. That has got to be the biggest upset of the year.

I'm just blown away. Burrell landed more, and scored better IMO, but Thompson wins??? I'm always glad to get the pick, but whether or not I'm glad to get the pick is irrelevant. Burrell should've got the nod on that decision.

****, I'm so bummed out about Bowles.  That really just sucks.  Huge Bowles fan and I hate Roop.  I just did not expect that.  I have no clue where Brian goes from here.  Maybe he can make a run at flyweight.  Roop looked two weight classes bigger than him tonight.

****.

The hate is because he is hyped as the next big thing and he's just a flashy scrub with no grappling skills or cardio.

That's just me.

On the other hand, that's why you don't leave it in the hands of the judges.

Oh well ... not going to be my best picking event, at least this time Silva's matchmaking makes for a much better card than last week ...
