Here's some betting odds on the event: http://beteagle.com/sportsbook/live_lines.asp?ids=335,342

And my take:

I'm torn on the Hughes Gracie, everything tells my Hughes is the better fighter, yet I got a feeling Royce is going to take this. Submission from his back against a stronger wrestler...

Vera vs Silva, tough one but I'd go for Vera, although using bet eagles odds I'd bet on Silva

Swick vs Riggs - Swick, Knock out

Sanchez vs Alessio - Sanchez, ground and pound to either a stoppage or choke

Gillard vs Davis - Guillard

Fisher vs Wiman - Guillard

Sakara vs Lister - tight one again, I'm going to say Sakara.

Horn vs Sonnen - Horn, easily

I'm gonna pick Joe Riggs and Royce. I got no favorites on the others.

Guillard is good, but he's not so good he can win a fight between two other guys ROFL!

 

[Davejlaw]

I'm a Gracie fan but after seeing an hour of Hughes highlights last night on Spike I have my doubts about Royce. Hughes was slamming people all over the place! I hope Royce can avoid the more aerial and violent takedowns...

 

[Andrew Green]

Guillard is good, but he's not so good he can win a fight between two other guys ROFL!

hmm... yeah, well, when he does I'll be the one laughing. Any idea what the odds on that are? I'll be rich!

 

[MJS]

Hughes/Gracie will be a close one, but I have to go with Hughes.

Mike Swick Vs. Joe Riggs--I'm going with Swick

Diego Sanchez Vs. John Alessio--Sanchez

Alessio Sakara Vs. Dean Lister--Lister

Jeremy Horn Vs. Chael Sonnen--Horn

I don't know enough about the others to form an opinion
