Martin Kampmann +115 vs Rick Story -145
Stephan Bonnar +110 vs Kyle Kingsbury -140
Jason Brilz +275 vs Ryan Bader -375
Tom Lawlor +250 vs Chris Weidman -350
Nick Pace +275 vs Miguel Angel Torres -375

I'll be on Hendo as my favorite fighter - would really like to see him vs Jon Jones or Anderson Silva. You cannot deny his instincts vs Feijao and Fedor getting clocked twice but wrestled his way back to his feet and H-bombed Feijao and knocked out Fedor with that vicious uppercut.

Le vs Silva is an interesting fight... Silva is 3-4 inside the octagon with a real ugly loss vs Leben getting KTFO but previously beating Michael Bisping in a decision. Le on the other hand hasn't fought since June 2010 because of his acting career. Known for his kicks, all of his fights have been located on the West Coast in the San Jose area... in the pre-fight presser he said now more will know about his kicks... that being said, Wanderlei has to know that, and will work to close the distance. Can the Axe Murderer pull one off? I'm usually into the dog, but I have Wanderlei's chin as being gone and won't pull the trigger.

Urijah vs Bowles is one I'll be on, and it won't be with the California Kid. The guy thinks he beat Dominick Cruz still to this day, and he was simply outclassed. Bowles is a quiet kid with a troubled past, and seems to take it out on the fighters that enter in the octagon with him. The baby-faced Faber is getting older, and at 32 now looked slower vs Cruz and even versus his unanimous deciison win over Eddie Wineland, didn't look impressive. I'll be on Bowles.

I'm a fan of Kampmann, but losing his last two fights, I don't know if I can back him versus a hungry Rick Story. The Horror is looking to revenge his ass-kicking loss where he was out-fought in all phases vs Charlie Brenneman. I'll pass.

Stephan Bonnar hasn't been impressive at all, and I'm a big fan of Kyle Kingsbury... he really impressed me in his unanimous win over Fabio Maldonado. You'll have to youtube that fight - it was impressive. More of a gut pick vs the 34 year old Bonnar... Kingsbury is a specimen but Bonnar might have a few tricks up his sleeve.

Other looks: Nick Pace, Gleison Tibau
