Almost Here - UFC 86

We are 5 nights away from what could be the fight of the year, UFC 86, Quniton "Rampage" Jackson Vs. Forrest Griffin. This is going to be a battle and I believe that many people will be very surprised by the outcome.

Watching these two on this season TUF was a real treat. Seeing these guy's personalities outside the octagon makes me even more excited for this fight. These two are very equally matched with Forrest holding a 2" height advantage. Jackson comes into the fight as the UFC Light Heavyweight (205 lbs) Champion with a record of 27-6. Griffin comes into the fight with a record of 15-4.

The rest of the card is as follows,

Patrick "The Predator" Cote (13-4-0) Vs. Ricardo "Big Dog" Almeida (9-2-0)
Joe "Daddy" Stevenson (33-8-0) Vs. Gleison Tibau (27-4-0)
Josh "Kos" Koscheck (13-2-0) Vs. Chris "Lights Out" Lytle (35-15-4)
Tyson Griffin (11-1-0) Vs. Marcus "Maximus" Aurelio (14-5-0)
Gabriel "Napao" Gonzaga (8-3-0) Vs. Justin "The Insane 1" McCully (8-3-2)
Jorge Gurgel (16-3-0) Vs. Cole "Magrino" Miller (13-3-0)
Melvin "The Young Assassin" Guillard (39-8-3) Vs. Dennis Siver (11-5-0)
Corey "The Real Deal" Hill (2-0-0) Vs. Justin Buchholz (8-2-0)
So who are your picks to win the fights? Who will have the Fight/Knockout/Submission of the night? Post your predictions in the comments. I will be posting my predictions along with Will's (If he makes any) by Friday night.
Also, if anyone reading this is in the Metro Atlanta area on Saturday night, come out and join Me, Will, a bunch of our friends and all of our wives at the Buffalo Wild Wings at Stonecrest mall.
So lets hear those predictions!
