But another point I think is valid is, do you really think Simpson would leave a stable job with a wife and two kids if he didn't know in his heart that he is better than the fighters he has coached in the past...Bader, Dolloway, Velazquez. He knows he has what it takes to win! Should have read…”He is 35 but he isn’t a guy that just started training and stepped into mma,…”

Watch his fight with Tim McKenzie and you will see how quick this guy is. He is 35 but he isn't a guy that just stepped into mma, he's been training his whole life. He's a young 35yrs old.

UFC is trying to push this weight class a little bit. Maybe to see who can step up for future considerations. I love how this one starts. Whish Spike was showing this one commercial free. Herman will step up. So will Gonzaga. Russow is really good DUFFEE better do it because he can really great. The KO will prove he can. "The Filipino Wrecking Machine" not only cause it’s a cool name he is dangerous "Maximus" but Dunham is a very young stud who will push the pace for a tap. This is going to be a good start for a great card imo 3 heavyweights on the undercard. UFC is trying to push this weight class a little bit. Maybe to see who can step up for future considerations.

Im hoping we get to see the same Gonzaga who almost sent crocops head into orbit and not the one how looked like a broken man against couture.

Simpson's a monster. I agree with all of these picks other than the Gonzaga one. Chris is tough but he's nowhere near as complete as Gonzaga. I see Gonzaga winning this fight by BRUTAL KO. Looks like a stacked undercard to me. I'm stoked for this event! I’m with ihateurface, Herman’s gonna get a mud hole stomped in him Saturday night. Simpson’s a monster.

I will disagree with your pick in the Herman vs Simpson fight, as you know it is hard enough stepping inside the octagon let alone fighting a guy like Herman. Ditto with the Gonzaga fight, although it seems to me that Gonzaga is a guy the ufc desperatly wants to make a star out of as every time he loses they give him a newcomer and tell us how great he is if he wins.
