Saturday, April 15th from Anaheim, CA on PPV

The fight card as it stands right now:

Andrei Arlovski Vs. Tim Sylvia (HW)

Tito Ortiz Vs. Forrest Griffin (LHW)

Nick Diaz Vs. Sean Sherk (WW)

Jeff Monson Vs. Marcio Cruz (HW)

David Terrell Vs. Scott Smith (MW)

Karo Parisyan Vs. Nick Thompson (WW)

My predictions:

Arlovski 1st round KO
Griffin in 3rd round decision after a bloody battle
Diaz over Sherk with a submission
Tanner over Levens via KO
Parisyan over Thompson in submission

don't know much about the other fighters to venture a guess.
looking forward to the Griffin vs Ortiz battle - should be entertaining!

Ill agree with you on Arlovsky, Sylvia is a gump. I want Sylvia to go fight in pride ahhah he would not even be on TV if he was in pride. I dont think Arlovsky could compete in pride either.
I really cant imagin Forrest even putting up a fight vs Tito. Like i compaired it to in anther thred, Forrest vs Tito is gona be like Nate Quarry vs. Franklin.

I agree... Tito is going to G&P Forrest into oblivion. I think Forrest will go all three rounds, because he is a tough MF'er, but he won't be able to fuck with Tito's strength.

Oh yea I will root for even tanner, I think hes a tough guy who has lost to really tough guys. I would like to see him own somebody like he used to.

Cruz vs. Monson... Two world class grapplers with bad blood between them.

Andrei Arlovski Vs. Tim Sylvia (HW)
Arlovski via KO in the first round. Perhaps even the first minute.

Tito Ortiz Vs. Forrest Griffin (LHW)
Ortiz via decision. I think this'll be a bloody battle.

Nick Diaz Vs. Sean Sherk (WW)
Diaz via submission; he'll have a huge reach over Sherk, but this be on the ground quick

Jeff Monson Vs. Marcio Cruz (HW)
The Snowman via first round submission

David Terrell Vs. Scott Smith (MW)
Dunno either of these guys

Karo Parisyan Vs. Nick Thompson (WW)
Gotta go with my boy Karo...via decision

Jason Lambert Vs. Terry Martin (LHW)
Not sure on either of these guys.

Thiago Alves Vs. Derrick Noble (WW)
Alves by first round KO

Evan Tanner Vs. Justin Levens (MW)
Hopefully, Tanner. Like someone else stated, he's a good fighter who's lost to great fighters recently.

I may get this card now. At first I wasnt going to, but I always enjoy watching Tanner and Karo fight, also Diaz always puts on a good show. Ortiz should handle Griffin IMO, but Forrest has heavy hands so there is always a chance of a KO. Havent seen Terrell for a while after he was hyped as the next big thing and then Tanner GnP'd him with ease.

Andrei Arlovski Vs. Tim Sylvia (HW)
Arlovski by submission in the first round.

Tito Ortiz Vs. Forrest Griffin (LHW)
Ortiz via decision.

Nick Diaz Vs. Sean Sherk (WW)
Sherk by decision...which sucks, he'll never pass Diaz's guard and Diaz will actually do more damage...the judges favor the man on top though.

Jeff Monson Vs. Marcio Cruz (HW)
Monson by submission in the first round.

David Terrell Vs. Scott Smith (MW)
Dunno either of these guys

Karo Parisyan Vs. Nick Thompson (WW)
Parisyan by submission, 2nd round.

Jason Lambert Vs. Terry Martin (LHW)
Not sure on either of these guys.

Thiago Alves Vs. Derrick Noble (WW)
Alves by referee stoppage in the 2nd or 3rd.

Evan Tanner Vs. Justin Levens (MW)
I would love to see Tanner win, but I think Tanner is on the downslope of things...Levens by decision.
