I can't wait for this card, it will be awesome. I'm scared because I don't think I've ever been less confident in my picks. JDS, Maia, Yves, and Omigawa picks were all straight from the heart, and all of those fights could go either way. Then I'm not too confident in Herman, Ring, or Florian.

I decided to hope for a stereotype that Young is bad on the ground so I picked Poirier by submission.

Interesting night... a mix of heavy favorites with wide betting lines, and then pick-em fights with tight betting lines.

Well, my picks are in, and they are going to stay, but one thing that I've realized, is usually on my picks, I sit right around 50 - 60%. So I think I will go 7 out of 12 tonight.
