Middleweight Title: I'm taking Jake Shields over Dan Henderson via submission in one of the bigger upsets of the year. Henderson is a legend, but Anderson Silva showed a weakness in his game that Shields can easily exploit, once the fight hits the ground. The trick for Shields is getting the fight on the mat, where he can wok his magic. I think in the course of a 5-round fight, he will have his chance and he will capitalize on it.
 
Lightweight Title: I'm taking Gilbert Melendez over Shinya Aoki via TKO. I like Aoki a lot, but he has so many new things that he isn't used to coming into this fight. He has to wear normal shorts, instead of his trademark spandex pants. He is also used to fighting in a ring with his home Japanese crowd. Adjusting to hostile crowd, without his spandex pants, and inside a cage are a lot of variables he has not dealt with before. On top of that, Melendez has very good submission defense and the power to end the fight standing or on the mat.
 
Light-Heavyweight Title: I'm taking Gegard Mousasi over King Mo via submission. It wasn't too long ago that Gumby and I were watching King Mo compete in the U.S. Olympic Trials in Vegas back in June 2008, where we discussed his enormous potential in MMA. He has since shown the rest of the world exactly that by smashing everyone he has faced. However, Mousasi is a different animal and has the edge in both striking and submissions. That's too many weopons in a 5-round fight. I see Mousasi submitting King Mo in the later rounds.

Dan Henderson. Gegard Mousasi. Gilbert Melendez
