I like Griffin and I like Franklin - its a really really good fight to happen, I think id give the edge to Franklin though as Forrest hasnt had a fight in about a year.

Jones vs Bader will be a really good clash of the titans style match, 1 is incredibly elusive and throws arkward moves from arkward angles whilst the other is a decent striker and proficient wrestler - again another great match up.

Silva vs Belfort - I have to agree with you marsey, it will either be over in seconds due to strikes (knees or counterpunch from silva or bombardment of punches from belfort) or it will go the distance. Im a big fan of "the spider" so i hope he doesnt come unglued like he did with sonnen as belfort may not get caught out in the last round like sonnen did!

If any of them end in knockouts rather than tummy grabbing then i might watch some replays.

It's hard to see past Silva in that fight but belfort has amazingly fast hands and has the ability to knock anyone out with one good punch, could be very interesting indeed.

I'm gonna go for Silva, Jones, Franklin and torres. Not too sure of that other fight as I haven't seen much of either.

Wish I could see it tonight but don't have ESPN anymore...

Should be a great card though with some real good fights, however I don't see the Silva/Belfort fight going the distance. Someone's getting knocked out tonight!
