[DUCE]

My Predictions
Arona pounds Sakuraba into sad shape and win by splt decision
Rua wins by TKO over Little Nog by a cut
Vovchanchyn beat Overeem by split decision
The Axe Murder KOs Nakamura

Nogeuira submits Pawel in a triangle choke

Rizzo TKOs Kharitinov

[Tim Dalton]

Since we're guessing:

Arona beats Saku

Nogueira over Rua by decision

Vovchanchyn should win, but I think Overeem has youth and a better ground game on his side.

Silva should take out Nakamura, as they are giving him the "easiest" matchup.

I see Nastula getting knocked out. Someone that good at judo should be able to defend well on the ground.

I think Kharitonov has too many skills for Rizzo.
