Well UFC 85 has come and gone, I feel for anyone that actually paid money for it, and its time to check out my picks:
Alves v Hughes - Right on. Glad to see Alves win, although he didn't make weight and then asked for a title shot. He has the tools to be very good but needs to work on the weight a bit more.
Werdum v Vera - Not the way I saw it ending but still the same result. Vera used to be so highly regarded and now he's lost two consecutive fights, albeit to two tough opponents. The UFC needs to give him some chump to wreck then get him back to fighting the big dogs. Werdum needs a rematch with Nog now, make it happen Dana.
Marquardt v Leites - 'Herb Dean, best in the game' - Joe Rogan. What the fuck. Thanks for an exciting fight guys but we'll just take two points away from Marquardt, who won on all judges cards, and give Leites the win. Not to dog on Leites because he weathered the storm and still put up a great fight but the result was bullshit because of the point deductions.
Davis v Swick - Ouch. Swick, I'm glad you won because you needed this one. Davis, better luck next time. I'm pretty impartial here but both fighters have heart and it was an ok fight.
Bisping v Day - Who didn't see this one happening. When will Bisping actually fight someone who matters? The UFC doesn't want their UK poster boy getting worked over? Oh ok, we'll just put you up against Chumpzilla's #1-100 for the rest of your days here.
Got 4 out of 5 right, not bad at all. I still can't believe that this was a PPV event and not free on Spike. I hope they didn't make any money on this.
