Such an awesome card. I'll for sure be watching this one!

Cain Velasquez vs. Junior Dos Santos - for heavyweight title- Cain wins just like he did last time.
Daniel Cormier vs. Roy Nelson - Love Nelson, but Cormier whips his ass before jumping to LHW to beat Jon Jones
Gilbert Melendez vs. Diego Sanchez - Decision, not a close one
Gabriel Gonzaga vs. Shawn Jordan - Jordan has the hot hand in his last couple fights
John Dodson vs. Darrell Montague - I've really no idea here

I'm def looking forward to Cormier/Nelson!

no way the guys a beast, 6 ko's in a row. only reason he lost his last fight was he took a kick to his arm and it broke, he kept fighting with a broken arm. they had to call it

In the UFC he is 2-1 with a TKO, decision, and decision loss. He is also fighting on the facebook preliminary cards. For a TUF winner he should have a bit better name for himself. He is a strong fighter for sure, but he isn't well known, and the UFC wants guys with name recognition. He also doesn't fight that often. The guy he beat in the TUF competition has fought 5 times already in the UFC
