Dennis Siver VS Matt "Handsome" Wiman - both of these guys are on a 3-win fight streak, but I have to go with the German, Dennis Siver
Tito "The Huntington Beach Bad Boy" Ortiz VS Ryan "Darth" Bader - I haven't been impressed with Bader's standup skills at all, especially in his last two fights. But, Ortiz hasn't won a fight since 2006. I have to go with Bader via TKO/KO because of his wrestling skills.
Wanderlei "The Axe Murderer" Silva VS Chris "The Crippler" Leben - This should be the best fight of the night. Both of these guys stand in there and fight. Wanderlei's last outing was a unanimous decision over Michael Bisping. Leben suffered a first round knockout loss to Brian Stann. I would be surprised if this fight went 3 rounds to a judge's decision. I'm going with Wanderlei via KO, probably in the 1st or 2nd round.
Carlos "The Natural Born Killer" Condit VS Dong Hyun Kim - This is another great matchup. Most of Kim's recent fights have gone to a judge's decision, and Condit's recent victories have come via knockout. I think Kim will play conservative and get the judge's decision in this one.
THE MAIN EVENT: The Champ-Dominick "The Dominator" Cruz VS Urijah "The Califorinia Kid" Faber. The last time these two fighters met was in 2007 with Faber winning the fight in the 1st round via submission. Cruz is a much different fighter now, and is one of the "quickest" fighters I've ever seen. His movement is very unpredictable, but Faber matches up to his style well. The fighters that have given Faber trouble have been big punchers. Cruz is not a big finisher, and Faber should get the decision in this one.
