As the threat title implies, who do you think will win at UFC 126? I can't wait for the event to happen this Saturday; I think this will be the best event we've seen for a while. I am nowhere near perfect as far as picking winners in fights, but I thought I would give it a shot.

Honestly, I've never seen most of the people fight in the first two fights I mention. I'm merely going on hype and what I've read about them online.

Miguel Torres vs Antonio Banuelos - Just on hype I'm going to guess that Miguel Torres wins this fight. My first thought would be that Torres would win by submission, but seeing that Banuelos hasn't been submitted since 2002 I thought that wasn't as likely. Therefore I'm going to say that Torres either wins by TKO or by decision.

Jake Ellenberger vs Carlos Eduardo Rocha - I have seen Ellenberger fight a couple of times: when he lost to Condit and when he beat Mike Pyle. I haven't seen Carlos Eduardo Rocha fight, but he is my choice to win the fight. My guess is that Carlos Eduardo Rocha wins by submission; if I had to guess a round I would say sometime in the second round.

Jon "Bones" Jones vs Ryan "Darth" Bader - I am a big fan of both of these fighters and am expecting an exciting fight between the two of them. I assumed that Jones would be the favorite in this fight, and as far as reading across different MMA forums I thought I was right, but betting websites have Bader as the odds-on favorite to win the fight, probably because of Bader's undefeated record (which is weird, because Jones's only loss is his disqualification over Matt Hamill for using illegal 12-to-6 elbows on the ground). That being said, my choice is going to be for Bader to win the fight. Seeing that these guys have quite a few wins by KO or TKO seems to make this a quick fight, but I think it will go the distance, with Bader winning by unanimous decision.

Forrest Griffin vs Rich "Ace" Franklin - This is another hard fight to call, because I'm a big fan of both of these guys. These guys both put on exciting fights. However, I'm also calling this fight how I called the Jones vs Bader fight. Although it will be exciting, I think it will go to decision. My personal choice for this fight is Forrest Griffin by decision.

Anderson Silva vs Vitor Belfort - WOW do I ever hate Anderson Silva. I am keeping this description simple: I would love nothing more than to see Anderson Silva get beat decisively, perhaps a knockout. I loved when Chael Sonnen embarrassed Silva for four and a half rounds, but I hope this one doesn't go that far. My choice is Vitor Belfort by knockout or TKO, doesn't matter which round.

What are your choices for UFC 126?

This is one of the best Fight Cards I've ever seen from the UFC, and definitely starts 2011 off right. Here are my predictions (or hopes, as some might say) for who will win.

- Torres v. Banuelos: Banuelos has a great ground game, but Torres has near perfect submission defense. I say Torres, possibly by decision.

- Ellenberger v. Rocha: If Ellenberger's cardio is up to snuff, and his submission and takedown defense are good, he can beat Rocha.

- Jones v. Bader: Bader is the odds-n winner in this fight, especially if Jones gasses himself like he tends to do. However, if Jones has been working on his cardio, I can see him pulling off the upset with either a KO or decision.

- Griffin v. Franklin: This is a tough fight for me because I have a lot of respect for both of these fighters. I'm a bigger Griffin fan than a Franklin fan, but history is on Ace's side in this fight. Neither guy gives up, and Griffin's granite chin has pulled him through a lot of tough fights. Franklin can read his opponents very well, though, and if he can make Griffin lose heart at any time in the fight, he'll win.

- Silva v. Belfort: I also despise Anderson Silva, but you can't deny his skill and power inside of the Octagon. He's been voted P4P King numerous times and deserves it, despite his antics in his last few fights. But, if he thinks he's gonna just dance around Belfort like he did with Maia, he'll be sadly mistaken. Belfort is the first man that Anderson is up against who is actually ranked as an Elite in MMA. Belfort's tenacity, power, and striking ability is outstanding, and is what earned him the UFC Light Heavyweight Title a few years back. Unless Silva has gone back to formula and is focused, my prediction is that Belfort will become the new UFC Middleweight Champion.
