Mike Swick vs. Josh Burkman

Who we want to win: Mike Swick
Who we think will win: Mike Swick

Mike Swick is going to win this fight for two main reasons. The first is that Swick has been fighting much bigger and stronger opponents. Fighting Burkman will feel like the first time you run after taking off the ankle weights. Swick was dominating people at 185 as a small middle weight and now he is the big guy. Second, Burkman can’t convert when he has a big fight (Jon Fitch and Karo Parisyan), where as Swick has already proven he can (Joe Riggs and David Loiseau).

Nate Diaz vs. Alvin Robinson

Who we want to win: Nate Diaz
Who we think will win: Nate Diaz

Nate Diaz is really dominating right now and is going to keep on rising until a title shot as long as he can keep his mental game together. Cote vs. Drew McFedries

Patrick Cote vs. Drew McFedries

Who we want to win: Patrick Cote
Who we think will win: Patrick Cote

Patrick is a very strong fighter and is just now proving what he can do. He is on a high after knocking out Kendall Grove and I think the momentum will push him through McFedries.

Michihiro Omigawa vs. Thiago Tavares

Who we want to win: Don’t Care
Who we think will win: Thiago Tavares

I see this fight as a rebound for Tavares. Omigawa loss a decision to Matt Wiman and has a losing record. Tavares was undefeated until his loss to Tyson Griffin. Tavares is a much better fighter and I think the UFC is giving him this fight to put some wind back in his sails.
