Only 4 weeks away. I can wash the bad taste from 119 away by focusing on this card. So many good/intruiging fights on this card.
Can Ortiz hang anymore
Can Sanchez compete at WW anymore
Can Schaub take a step up in competition
Court McGee starts his career in earnest
Taylor/Stout will be a battle as will Cote/Lawlor
Shields steps up to the big show and has a tough fight off get go
Lesnar/Velasquez another of a run of marquee fights in the UFC HW division. Should be epic

Lol. I think people are hating on Tito Ortiz a little too much.

People have hated on Tito forever. None of that matters though, like Tito or not Hamill is gonna put a beating on him and take home a UD.

I would enjoy this but it doesn't matter though cause the winner of this title fight won't make it out the 1st round of their next fight.

Very, very excited for this card. Usually go to a bar to watch the fights but I'll be getting this online and setting up a stream and getting mates round to watch.
My predications: (I am the worlds worst at this... except UFC 119, 5/5, TY s--- judging. =) )
* Champ Brock Lesnar vs. Cain Velasquez (for heavyweight title)
Velasquez by TKO in the later rounds.
I love Brock, but I've got a niggly feeling Cain is going to get the better of him on the feet, and utilise a conditioning advantage to score a late TKO. Totally open to the possibility of an early GnP assault by Brock though.
* Martin Kampmann vs. Jake Shields
Shields by UD.
Just picking the well rounded guy over the striker, hoping Kampmann can get off though.
* Diego Sanchez vs. Paulo Thiago
Sanchez by UD.
I'd love to pick Thiago but I just don't see him finishing Diego.
* Matt Hamill vs. Tito Ortiz
Hamill TKO 2R.
This is a bit cheeky, but I'd love to see it. Happy to see Ortiz back in the octagon though.
* Gabriel Gonzaga vs. Brendan Schaub
Gonzaga by sub 1R.
Schaub catches him on the feet, gets over zealous and Gonzaga stitches up a submission. Lets hope so at least.

Lesnar, by hulk smash. I just don't see Cain being able to take the gorilla pounding that will be unleashed if Brock takes him down. I'll be rooting for him though. Come to think of it Randy got up from the takedown, so maybe Cain has a better shot then I thought. Can't wait to find out.

it is. I've always liked Gonzaga, and he can put some awesome fights on. Big power in his strikes, and slick BJJ to back it up on the ground. Sadly, I think that he just mentally isn't all there (and the GIF posted in the comedy thread helps with that). I really think that he loses focus during the fights, and gets tagged around.
Schaub though has some decent hands, and I think is just going to hit GG hard, fast, and often. Which sucks to say about a fighter I like, but its just what I think is going to happen.
