This card has fallen apart almost as fast as my respect for the Facebook friends who support the signing of Michael Vick. Injuries, new signings, and well... pot, have changed the scope of this card on almost every level. Let's hit the main card up like your mom on a prom date.
Gina Carano vs Cris Santos
I still don't understand people who don't think is is an awesome fight and dont' see the ramification this will have on the MMA world. The women are getting a main event with a title on the line. On a major card. On national TV. And it's going to be epic! This is a superfight. Both these ladies are tough a nails and put people out. And it's really hard to call. Epic striking almost ensures this doesn't go all five rounds. Gina (we're on a first name basis, you know) is on top of the game now for a reason. If she shows up on target, she'll be able to out work Cyborg on the feet. If it goes to the ground there is a marked advantage for Cyborg. Gina will have to control the pace early and stay away from the take down. If that happens? Win.
Gina Carano by TKO, Rd 2
Renato "Babalu" Sobral vs Gegard Mousasi
I'm not going to re-hash this one since I've already gone over what I think. Suffice it to say, great match up with Mousasi drop kicking all up in Babalu's skull.
Mousasi by KO boot to the dome, Rd 2
Gilbert Melendez vs Mitsuhiro Ishida
Grappler vs Wrestler. I'm thinking snoozfest if this goes to the ground... call it a hunch. But if it stays up, Melendez is gonna' lay suckas out.
Melendez by TKO by machine gun punches. Rd 2
Jay Heiron vs Jessie Taylor
HAHAHAHA! You've got to be kidding me. Jesse Taylor is a doofus. Sure he's won some fights. Against who? Guys behind TJ Maxx? Heiron's on the verge of being top rung and he'll prove it by dismantling JTdummy... this doesn't get out of round one.
Heiron by murder, Rd 2
Mike Kyle vs Fabricio Werdum
I still don't get why Werdum was canned after his devastating loss to Junior Dos Santos. He's an elite fighter who's gone against elite competition... including a win over the current SF HW champ, Overreem. Mike Kyle is a talent no doubt. Werdum has him beat in ever aspect. I'm hoping to see some jits here, since there isn't a lot on the rest of the main card.
Werdum by strangulation, Rd 2
Other Thoughts:
-Really upset how the Nick Diaz drama is playing out. I love watching him fight, and would hate to see his career take a Josh Barnett arc.

-How long do we have to wait for SF to put up Overeem's title? I really want SF to succeed... there needs to be competition in the market. But until they can support their title picture with constant fights, it'll never be legit.
-Yes, Gina Carano is hot... she is also an exciting fighter. Really would like to see her win. She is STRONG. Don't let the looks fool you. She will knock you out. Can she out power Cyborg? Maybe... Plus, she trains with This Guy:
