Main card:
Georges St. Pierre (20-2): -400

Josh Koscheck (15-4): +300

This is a fight years in the making. St. Pierre has owned this division for five years and is head and shoulders above everyone in the division, in every aspect except for one – trash talking! It’s too bad that Koschek’s mouth can’t deliver a knockout blow or apply a submission because he’s likely to win if it could. St. Pierre won’t be denied in front of his home town fans. Pick: Georges St Pierre -400
Stefan Struve (20-4): -150

Sean McCorkle (10-0): +120

Two enormous Heavyweights clash on Saturday. Both have their share of knockout and both have shown that they can submit their opponents. In what is sure to be a standup fight, I’ll take the more powerful of the two.Pick: Sean McCorkle +120
Jim Miller (18-2): +110

Charles Oliveira (14-0): -140

UFC veteran Jim Miller takes on slick and confident UFC up and comer at UFC 124. Miller’s only two losses are against the two Lightweights that will be fighting for the belt in early 2011 – Frankie Edgar and Gray Maynard. Oliveira has been impressive for sure, but I think he waded a bit too deep in this fight, a bit too early in his UFC career. Pick: Jim Miller +110
Joe Stevenson (31-11): -300

Mac Danzig (19-8-1): +220

Two former TUF winners will be fighting for their UFC lives this Saturday. Stevenson has fought and lost against some of the best that the UFC has to offer while Danzig has waded around and has been just OK against “C level” fighters. There is no denying who the better fighter in this contest is. Pick: Joe Stevenson -300
Thiago Alves (17-7): -300

John Howard (14-4): +220

This is potentially Fight of the Night. Both of these men love to stand and bang! Alves will be looking to return to the elite class of the Welterweight division while John Howard will be looking to re-enter the Title picture after the first loss of his UFC career. I like Howard but Alves is too powerful, too crafty and too diverse for Howard in this one. Pick: Thiago Alves -300
Preliminary fights:
Mark Bocek (8-3): -135

Dustin Hazelett (12-6): +105
