Mirko Filipovic (-450) Lyoto Machida (-285) - (-160)
Breakdown
Mirko Filipovic vs. Gabriel Gonzaga
Gonzaga has the edge on the ground but his wrestling isn't good enough to get it there. CroCop has lethal striking on the feet and I see him out pointing Gonzaga everywhere to win by KO.
Lyoto Machida vs. David Heath
Heath is taking this fight on short notice for Forrest Griffin and he has had no time to prepare for someone like Machida. Machida's striking is very difficult to face and Heath will no where near be ready to stand and take the punishment Machida is gonna give him. Machida by KO.

Cheick Kongo (+200)
Breakdown
Assuerio Silva vs. Cheick Kongo
Kongo is too good on the feet and I like his game better vs Silva. Kongo is coming off a loss and he will get back in the win column by winning here by a TKO.
