UFC 61 Prediction Thread

Alright, the card is finalized, let's see what everyone's got.

-Tim Sylvia vs. Andrei Arlovski
-Tito Ortiz vs. Ken Shamrock
-Frank Mir vs. Dan Christison
-Yves Edwards vs. Joe Stevenson
-Josh Burkman vs. Josh Neer
-Hermes Franca vs. Roger Huerta
-Drew Fickett vs. Kurt Pellegrino
-Jeff Monson vs. Anthony Perosh
-Gilbert Aldana vs. Cheick Kongo

--

I've got:

-Arlovski over Sylvia via TKO
-Ortiz over Shamrock via Decision (I think Shamrock can hang 3 rounds with Tito, he did the last fight taking everything Tito had in his prime, and with a bad injury at that...plus skills whatever, everyone knows Shamrock has heart)
-Mir over Christison via Submission
-Edwards over Stevenson via TKO (possibly decision)
-Burkman over Neer via TKO
-Franca over Huerta via Submission (unless Huerta is a sub guy, I don't know shit about him. If he is, Franca via TKO or decision)
-Fickett over Pellegrino via TKO (only because I don't know shit about Pellegrino)
-Monson over Perosh via Submission (only because I don't know shit about Perosh)
-Aldana over Kongo via Decision (only because I don't know shit about Kongo)

What's everyone else got....let's hear it!

damn there's a lot of nobodies on this card.alot of well established stars too. I think it should be a pretty good ppv not as good as the last ppv ,but pretty good.

I'd love to see Aldana take it to Kongo and win decisively...Latino pride, y'know. Even though he lost to Buentello at UFC 57, the higher-ups want to bring him back to another PPV against someone as new to the game as himself. Interesting. They probably figure that El Peligroso, if anything, is good for another exciting fight, a slugfest for sure, and that's White and the Fertittas really want. Me, personally, I would have put him on a UFN card against a guy like Imes or Petruzelli.
