Predictions: 4 of 10 Winners, 2 Perfect, 250 Points | Tied for 885th
Had a few shaky-looking fighters at weigh-ins today, so pick lines might be changing. Seems like there are quite a few bouts with serious upset potential on this card, right through to the main event.

Also, why was Palhares crying? Did he accidentally smother a kitten before weigh-ins?

Thiago Silva missed weight..
Fans booed Matt Hamill who is hearing impaired
Maldonado and the Mexicutioner are gonna go to war, shook hands and Fabio started talking and the Mexicutioner smiled and exchanged a few words then they shook hands and bumped fists while Fabio tapped his chin but not in a taunting way

I want to pick Kim, but Erick Silva really impressed me in his loss to Fitch. I think this time he passes the test.

Maia vs Shields
Silva vs Kim
Pierce vs Palhares
Dillashaw vs Assuncao
Hammil vs Thiago
Beltran vs Fabio
And Im just happy to see Ildemar and Cabral fighting, two really talentef Welterweights out of Brazil that I think could grow into top 15 guys, especially Alcantara.

I can imagine he bulks up to 240lbs, so depending on how many months out he adjusts his diet, cardio and ups it to 2 a days or 3 a days rather than off season 1 adays I can imagine him missing weight. No excuse for it though, a gym like ATT or Blackzillians should have their own nutritionist for their teams.

Anyway, in his case, I don't think it's got anything to do with his camp, he seems like the type of guy that no one can get him to do anything he doesn't want to do ... he's just got enough talent to stay relevant even without training as much as he should or keeping a top athlete's lifestyle ... if that dude had Sonnen-esque work ethic he'd be something special ...
I mean, everything was going his way once and pissed hot twice, now, again, everything's going his way, he's just come off a very good win, he's got himself a gimme fight in front of a home crowd with the UFC looking like they want to build him back up (while sending Hammil back into retirement) and then he goes and misses weight.
Some dudes just don't get it ... he'll never be top 5 just because of that kind of attitude ...

The ones I'm a bit less confident in are:
Dong (thinking he'll smother Silva, but Erick can end a fight on a heartbeat and nearly finished Fitch)
Cariaso (faster and better boxing, Illiarde likes to keep it standing and has suspect cardio for a 125er)
And maybe Assunção (I just think he's the better fighter as of now, but that Alpha male karma when not fighting for a belt might bite me in the ass)
