Chris Weidman vs. Lyoto Machida-
Lyoto has the experience edge in this one. Also, the fact that Chris Weidman had double knee surgery in April doesn't help his odds in my eyes. Lyoto won't make the same mistakes that Anderson did. With that being said, Chris Weidman could very well do what he couldn't in the Anderson fights; decisively prove that he's the best fighter in the world.
Pick- Lyoto Machida
Ronda Rousey vs. Alexis Davis Pick-Ronda Rousey
Stefan Struve vs. Matt Mitrione-
Thia fight should be very telling for both fighters. It should show how much Struve was effected from his near year and a half layoff, during most of which, he was not medically cleared to train due to a heart issue. For Mitrione, it should show if he has the ability to bea top ten heavyweights. I'm not confident in picking either way, as this fight is about as close as can be. I'll go with the younger, more experienced guy, who has higher quality wins.
Pick- Stefan Struve
Thiago Santos vs. Uriah Hall Pick- Uriah Hall
Marcus Brimmage vs. Russell Doane Pick- Marcus Brimmage
Urijah Faber vs. Alex Caceres Pick- Urijah Faber
Ildemar Alcantara vs. Kenny Robertson Pick- Kenny Robertson
Chris Camozzi vs. Bruno Santos Pick- Chris Camozzi
George Roop vs. Rob Font Pick- George Roop
Top Picks- Ronda Rousey, Uriah Faber, and Chris Camozzi
