These so-called "experts" probably picked the Patriots to win the Super Bowl and Tyson to beat Buster Douglas. Pack of fools is what they are. I completely agree.

Did either of these so-called "experts" pick Irvin to drop Alexander in 10 seconds? Irvin has a punchers chance. My guess is if Silva wins this fight it will be via submission and not Muay Thai clinch/knees or punches. Irvin is +425. That is certainly worth a $20 bet. Why all the hate on Irvin?

Doctor stoppage. Willing to put money on this. 2) Sylvia should sit the next show out as Fedor v. Couture will go down on the next PPV for the #1 contender spot. Also, AA v. Barnett should be on that card. 3)Aoki v. Alvarez Winner Aoki by Aokiplata. 4) Irvin is either drinking the Kool Aid or took too many shots to the head in the Alexander fight.... oh wait.... 5) Whitehead is weak. Babalu will make short work of him. Babalu via RNC. 6) The UFC needs every HW they can get their hands on right now. How can they cut this guy but keep Eddie "Homer Simpson" Sanchez around?

3)Aoki v. Alvarez
Winner Aoki by Aokiplata.

4) Irvin is either drinking the Kool Aid or took too many shots to the head in the Alexander fight…. oh wait….

5) Whitehead is weak. Babalu will make short work of him. Babalu via RNC.

6) The UFC needs every HW they can get their hands on right now. How can they cut this guy but keep Eddie “Homer Simpson” Sanchez around?

Barnett has never wanted to fight Fedor, and likely never will. If Sylvia somehow wins, and I assume Barnett will, then a match between Sylvia and Barnett might be likely. Assuming Fedor wins, I see Andre as a far more likely opponent. 2) False. Barnett has never wanted to fight Fedor, and likely never will.

I have to give this to Adam for taking control early and dictating the pace. 10-9 Morgan 2) Agreed and equal. However, Balsom takes it with the submission attempt as the round ended. Arlovski may indeed draw a few more casual fans, though he has fallen from favor in UFC fan's eyes to a certain extent. 10-9 Balsom 3)Alvarez will beat Kawajiri. Morgan lands big and ends up in the dominant position for the majority of the round. 10-8 Morgan 4) Irvin doesn't believe he will win. He is like the guy doing all the talking because he is nervous. Balsom lands some nice shots, but Morgan out works him by demeaning Irvin. 10-9 Morgan 5) Babalu will stop Whithead. Babalu will be looking to make a statement, and he is still a top lhw. Balsom came out swinging, but Morgan's technical striking let him weather the storm and do the most damage. 10-9 Morgan 6) O'Brien will be gone. He may get 1 more fight for taking the short notice and helping Dana out, but that is it. Balsom rallies late and shows his conditioning and heart. 10-9 Balsom. Ok, so I'll tally the scores while you watch a preview of the upcoming Nic Cage shitfest. 58-55 Morgan. Balsom, please don't sideswipe any pregnant women this week!
