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

My take on each fight:

loser of Stephens/Payan cut

welcome back warmup fight for Bowles

striking battle set up to showcase Wonderboy. Opportunity for Burrell.

maybe the most interesting fight on the whole card. Khabib missed weight badly, the weigh-in shove, Trujillo's impressive debut, and Khabib's close decision over Tibau make this the most likely upset as well.

Can Whittaker avoid being grapple******

Ditto for Holloway but MUCH better chance of violence.

Story has the better resume but Pyle the momentum.

Will Cowboy pull a (take your pick: GSP, Rumble Johnson, Kongo, or most appropriately Josh Thomson) or do we get the striking war?

Rusty Gray vs. surging T.J.   Josh Thomson (or Gilbert) is praying for a boring decision here

see Cowboy/Noons but with more KO possibilities

probably a lot like JDS/Big Country but hoping Hunt retains his power late.

probably slightly more competitive but would rival Serra/GSP if those hamhocks connect.

Good points, mule, thought I'm in the camp of those who feel Khabib clearly beat Tibau.

Did anyone hear what was said, if anything, between Khabib & Trujillo at the weigh-ins?

The old Pride fighter-intro packages on US PPV for Russian fighters were always amusing.

Thing is, I don't think anyone would argue with that ... including Russians.
