These are my picks ...
Though both Couture and Vera are favs of mine ... I'm going with Couture ... he is much more experience ... and I don't think he is over the hill ... he still has some years in him ... I think that Couture is going to take Vera down and beat him up ... as for the clinch ... they are both studs in their respective clinches (Couture - Greco-Roman, Vera - Thai) ... it will all depend who will impose their game ...
The Mike Swick and Dan Hardy fight will be interesting ... both are on a roll ... but for me ... I believe that Swick has this fight ... he is way too fast ... way too powerful ... and has plenty of experience to counteract Dan Hardy ... sure Hardy is working with Freddy Roach ... but there is only so much one can learn before being thrown with the beasts ... and Swick is a beast ...
As the the Bisping/Kang fight ... I think that Bisping is hungry and pissed off ... he wants his respect back ... and he is going to take it ... and Kang is in his way ... Kang however will no doubt be thinking upset ...
As for the TUF guys ... Wilks is over his head ... Pearson will do just fine ... Osipczak is in for a long night ... and Winner will be ok if he avoids the ground ...
