Ooooooh its gonna be good......

Floian V's Huerta - soooo looking forward to that one - stand up Huerta on the deck oooo gonna sneak in Florian - has he fought since Sherk???, if so why the hell not - top JJ.

Sound card, always good to watch St Pierre:yes:

I'll sky+ it if you want to come round sunday and watch it, going out tommorow night

St. Pierre will destroy Fitch, love to watch his work, he's awesome. The Huerta / Florian fight should be good too.

Dont know if Fitch is gonna such an easy task for GSP, i think George will have to be on top of his game, tbh.

I recon Lesnar will gnp Herring badly enough at the start of the first round to eventualy wear him out and possibly get a stoppage. I just dont think Herring has the most solid mind set whereas Lesnar is pure drive and a top athlete. Herring's wrestling and grappling was on clear display against Kongo. Not very good. But he has fought the best overe the course of 41 fights so im kinda 50/50 on this one.

Florian v Huerta can go either wa also, i think. I believe that whoever breaks first in any way will be finished or submitted. Huerta has a big heart and presses the action, being more the bully. Florian didnt do very well last time he was bullied (Sherk), so perhaps a super aggresive fighter, albeit less technical, might simply cause him to freeze up a little bit.

I recon if Damian Maia can get through Lamberts offense reasonably unscathed he will eventualy pull off a sub.

Is it showing on Sky?

Fitch is an animal and i agree with GSP when he says he is his toughest challenge, Fitch can probably hold his own wrestling but if GSP takes it from level to level like against sera fitch wont be able to keep up and GSP can impose his will, it could go to a decision. But id say St Pierre in the 3rd.

Its on setanta isnt it? pretty sure. fight of the night HAS to be Huerta Florian, that is going to be epic, i see Huerta getting cut early but eventually knocking kenny out. i dont know why im going for such precise predictions but thats my input!

You must be in the zone!!!!!!!.

Yeah, Florian has wicked elbows - It's so hard to call I guess if Huerta can keep it standing up then he will dominate - but then again can he keep it standing up????
