i cannot pick alot of those fights, i have watched every season of tuf and this one i kind of bowed out half way through and havent watched alot of these guys fights.  Also i need to see a fighter fight more then once to make a confident pick so im prolly just gonna pick the main even and Ferguson.

I agree with justynbomar and swickotine, but makes a very solid point. Mayhem is coming off a 15 month layoff. In the UFC there hasn't been a fighter with a long layoff win since Randy Couture. While I love Mayhem, and would love to see him win, I think that long layoff will effect his performance, and Mayhem is very good, but he's no Randy Couture. I might have to change my pick to Bisping by decision.

Damnitt!!!!! I keep going back and forth on this fight for different reasons.

#1. I'm a fan of both fighters

#2. Mayhem's long layoff vs. Bisping's questionable chin

#3. Bisping's mobility vs. Mayhem's BJJ

#4. Bisping's arrogance vs. Mayhem's confidence

#5. Who really has the better striking? Bisping has 13 KO/TKOs vs. Mayhem's 5 KO/TKOs,

#6. Who has really faced the better opposition? Bisping has more fights in the UFC, but Mayhem has fought the best all over the world in both the 170 and 185 weight classes.

Questionable chin ... LOL he gets knocked out by Dan Henderson and he has a questionable chin .. He has 1 knock out loss on his record to Dan Henderson. Yet he has faced guys like Wanderlei Silva, Yoshihiro Akiyama, Jorge Rivera, Chris Leben, Matt Hamill, and Rashad Evans ....Im sure he wont get knocked out by Miller of all people. Pretty sure his chin is just fine.

@ MikeLovesTacosXD - Don't get me wrong. I'm a fan of Bisping, but he can be rocked when he gets hit, and the last thing to do is underestimate Mayhem's striking ability. No Mayhem doesn't have the greatest number of KOs, but he does have some great finishes against some very good fighters. The reason I say that Bisping has a "questionable" chin is not only because he's been KO'd by Henderson, it's also because he's been rocked by Wandy, Dennis Kang, Matt Hamill, Chris Leben, and even Elvis Sinosic caught him with a good punch. Maybe the better way for me to put it, is that Bisping doesn't like to get hit, and Mayhem can take some really good shots. The main point that I'm trying to get across, is that I'm very torn and going back and forth on this fight, and that is just one of the reasons that I'm going back and forth.

Well I do respect you doing that breakdown. I suppose you are right. But I dont think Miller will come close to finishing Bisping standing.

Bisping has pretty good technique he just lacks some Ko power and the H bomb made him look weak.  If miller cant sub bisping then bisping should win by decision or possibly tko in the later rounds.  I think bisping is solid, Bisping by tko in the 4th/5th or decision.

I changed my pick to Bisping by decision because I think the long layoff will really effect Mayhem's performance, and Mayhem hasn't fought in the UFC since his loss to GSP.
