    Here are the predictions I made in my blog...

    Sylvia d. Nogueira, 5th-round decision
    Lesnar d. Mir, 3rd-round decision
    Almeida d. Yundt, 1st-round submission (RNC)
    Marquardt d. Horn, 3rd-round decision
    Griffin d. Tibau, 3rd-round decision

    Martin d. Eastman
    Nakamura d. Emerson
    Lytle d. Bradley
    Heath d. Boetsch

    And Tyson Griffin's fight better be on the televised card!
