Dan Henderson vs. Renato “Babalu” Sobral – Henderson didn’t look very impressive against Jake Shields, but he is still a dangerous fighter. His wrestling is always solid in the early rounds, and he has the over-hand right that can take your head off, ask Bisping. Babalu, on the other hand, has been training with Fabricio Werdum and Rafael Cordiero at the Affliction gym. That is one solid team. Babalu’s stand-up defense should be pretty solid. The key to winning this fight for Henderson is to take it to the ground, and control it there. Babalu needs to sprawl and brawl, and make sure not get taken down. I see Babalu as the better fighter in the long haul. Henderson will tire out, and Babalu will control the fight for the win.

Robbie Lawler vs. Matt Lindland – Lindland is a tough wrestler, but Lawler has a good takedown defense. Lawler will keep this fight standing and land some solid punches on Lindland everytime Lindland tries to go for a takedown. Lindland will try to pin Lawler against the cage, and eventually try take him down. But, Lawler is too crafty for that and will be successful in avoiding the takedown attempts.
Lawler via TKO – Rd. 2
Paul Daley vs. Scott Smith – Daley is a great stand-up fighter with a KO win against Martin Kampmann. Smith and Daley will slug it out, and Daley will come out on top. He’s got better hands and better feet.
Daley via TKO – Rd. 1
Antonio Silva vs. Mike Kyle – Kyle is a last minute replacement for Valentijn Overeem. Silva has been dominant most his fights, as he’s showed that he’s an all-around fighter. Kyle, on the other hand, is only known for his punching combination. Silva will dominate this fight, take Kyle to the ground, and eventually submit him.
Silva via Side Choke – Rd. 2
Benji Radach vs. Ovince St Preux – Radach has a pretty good stand-up, and based on their records, Radach has more experience, and will win this via punches.
Radach via TKO – Rd. 1
