Tavarez vs. Stout
Tavarez has talent but Stout has heart and determination. Stout by decision.
X LOSER Tavares convincingly won round 1, I gave Stout the last two rounds but the judges saw it differently!

Barboza vs. Etim
This will probably be fight of the night in my opinion. Both are crazy good, my pick is Etim.
X LOSER Barboza was winning but not by much. Suddenly he threw a spinning heel kick..landed perfect knocking out Etim instantly. One classic knockout!

Silva vs. Prater
Picking Prater but I haven't seen much of either guy.
√ WINNER Silva finished him off quick but ref Mario Yamasaki awards Prater the victory because Silva hit him a couple of times to the back of the head...bad decision!

Massenzio vs. Palhares
Palhares is a monster at 185. If he is able to get the fight on the ground, he will submit Massenzio.
√ WINNER Palhares pulled him to the ground and submitted him quickly. Beastmode!

Belfort vs. Johnson
Vitor by brutal knockout and ending the career for Johnson. Johnson didn't make weight..again!
√ WINNER Belfort took him down after taking some punishment but finished with a rear naked choke. 

Aldo vs. Mendes
Aldo can pick him apart on the feet and has good submissions too. Aldo destroyed Faber and Mendes doesn't offer anything more than Faber. Aldo will wear him down and KO Mendes.
√ WINNER Aldo got him at 4:59 of the first round..knocked the crap out of him with a knee but Mario Yamasaki made a quick decision to stop it in the last second of the first round. I would have liked to have seen if he could recover but probably not. Good fight!
