This event is for Dec 10th at 9pm ET/PT and will be broadcasted live on SPIKE TV.
Josh Koscheck vs Yoshiyuki Yoshida
I think I like Yoshida in this one due to crazy skill.
Mike Swick vs Jonathan Goulet
Going with Goulet for this one.
Steve Cantwell vs Razak Al-Hassan
I’m picking Cantwell in the dark as he was the champion in WEC after beating and TKO’ing Brian Stann @ WEC 35 in their second fight.
Tim Credeur vs Nate Loughran
No pick
Jim Miller vs Matt Wiman
Frankie Edgar is out with an injury. Stepping to take his place is Jim Miller. Both Jim and brother Dan Miller are studs, but Wiman just had a surprise KO over an opponent that brings a similar skill set to the table as Miller, in Thiago Tavares. Not only that, but the fight is on short notice for Miller and its his first UFC experience. Although no stranger to MMA, Miller is a very experienced opponent and an IFL standout. The difference will be if Wiman can strike or not. If Wiman can’t put his combination’s together than he won’t win. However, I think Wiman will find his way and will get V.
Luigi Fioravanti vs Brodie Farber
Picking Luigi Fiorvanti. Ex-marine takes it due to too much beef to contend with.
Steve Bruno vs Johnny Rees
Taking Bruno in the dark.
Ben Saunders vs Brandon Wolff
Taking Saunders in the dark. Not many fighters can deal with the length and size.
Corey Hill vs Dale Hartt
I’ll take Corey Hill in the dark on this one. Always fun to watch what someone with that length and height at this low of a weight class can do.
Eddie Sanchez vs Justin McCully
Should be a good fight. I like Eddie Sanchez here due to nullifying wrestling ability of a veteran McCully, but Sanchez has some serious KO power if he can connect.

Goulet is going down via “Swick-a-tine” in the first round.

Maybe. I have a vision of Goulet winning. Normally I’d pick Swick here.
