Nick Diaz vs. Scott Smith

Pats Prediction
- This will definitely be a good scrap, both fighters always give a great show to the fans. It will be none stop action from the start of the bell. We know Smith will stand and fight as well as Diaz. Smith has a harder punch but sloppy stand up and Diaz packs less of a punch with crisper striking. If Diaz has trouble striking with Smith all he needs to do is take it to the ground and look for the sub. I have Diaz by third round round submission.
Andrei Arlovski vs. Brett Rogers

Pats Prediction
- This is definitely a huge leap in competition for Rogers. We will now get a chance to see if Rogers is a legitimate threat in any HW division. He packs plenty of power and definitely enough to test the glass jaw of Arlovski. I just don’t see it being enough. If “The Pit Bull” comes out in full force aggressive and determined, he will not be stopped. I see Arlovski via first round TKO.
Phil Baroni vs. Joe Riggs

Pats Prediction
- Here is a fight between two former UFC standouts. Needless to say this is a very important fight to each of them as a loss will hurt their reputations they are trying to build back up. With that in mind we are sure to see them throwing their fists around with bad intentions. Riggs has been plagued with injuries throughout his career and if he is not at 100% I see him loosing via second round TKO to “The New York Bad Ass”
Kevin Randleman vs. Mike Whitehead
- For a detailed prediction of this fight visit our Randleman vs. Whitehead prediction page
Pats Prediction
- This is a very tough fight to call. Randleman has missed a year of competition and is stepping up to a very tough opponent in Whitehead. Whitehead has won 14 of his last 15 fights and is now a member of Xtreme Couture. Randleman is a scary explosive fighter with heavy hands and can end this fight at any moment if Whitehead doesn’t stay calm. I feel in this fight Randleman’s recent inactivity will be the difference. I have Whitehead via guillotine choke in round two.
