Andrei Arlovski vs. Justin Eilers- arlovski by ko in round one. need i say more?

Evan Tanner vs. Rich Franklin- i think the best way to analyse a re-match situation is to look at what happened the first time round. and the first time round franklin ko'ed tanner. figure that one out.

Stephan Bonnar vs. Sam Hoger- the ultimate fighter is only being broadcasted now in the uk, so i dont know a lot about the ultimate fighter cast yet.

Forrest Griffin vs. Bill Mahood- same as above unfortunately

David Loiseau vs. Charles McCarthy- the crow by decision

Evan Tanner v. Rich Franklin: Going out on a limb here and going with Tanner by TKO in Rd. 3

Forrest Griffin v. Bill Mahood: Griffin by TKO in Rd. 1

Andrei Arlovski v. Justin Eilers: Arlovski KO Rd. 1. Nuff said.
Matt Serra v. Karo Parisyan: Serra by Decision (i'm thinking very similar to the St. Pierre loss for Karo).
Nick Diaz v. Koji Oishi: Oishi by sub Rd. 2. Why? I have no idea but Oishi has a cool handle.
David Loiseau v. Charles McCarthy: Loiseau by brutal TKO in Rd. 1.
Nathan Quarry v. Shonie Carter: Carter by TKO in Rd. 2.
Paul Buentello v. Kevin Jordan: Buentello by KO rd. 1.

[Grant Ellis]

Evan Tanner v. Rich Franklin - Franklin by KO
Forrest Griffin v. Bill Mahood - Griffin by submission
Andrei Arlovski v. Justin Eilers - Arlovski by KO
Matt Serra v. Karo Parisyan - Serra by Decision
Nick Diaz v. Koji Oishi - Diaz by Submission
David Loiseau v. Charles McCarthy - Charlie McCarthy? The Ventroloquist's dummy? Is Edgar going to be operating him or is the puppet going to be solzinho? I go with the Crow in any case by TKO.
Nathan Quarry v. Shonie Carter - Quarry by Decision
Paul Buentello v. Kevin Jordan - Buentello by KO
