OK here is my take on this card. I know - who cares? Anyway here it goes, just for kicks. I am a Lyoto Machida fan but I am also a fan of Rashad's. This one is hard to call. I think Lyoto might pull out a decision because he is so hard to hit. But Rashad is such a great athlete that he is capable of anything. In other words I duh, don't know.
Rashad Evans v Lyoto Machida Matt Hughes v Matt Serra Josh Koscheck v Chris Wilson Sean Sherk v Frank Edgar Pat Barry v Tim Hague Phillipe Nover v Kyle Bradley Houston Alexander v Andre Gusmao Yoshiyuki Yoshida v Brandon Wolff Dave Kaplan v George Roop
I also want Serra to win because I know people in his camp but I just don't think he will beat Hughes, even though I like Serra better. Hughes is still a great wrestler.
Again, don't go betting on my picks. My record stinks.
