Rousey sub
Machida tko or ko (first man to stop Dan with strikes)
Faber sub
Neer decision
Koscheck decision (although I hope Lawler knocks him out)

Looking forward to the Hendo/Machida fight the most, two legends, should be incredible.

Look out for Schaub vs Lavar Johnson on the undercard, there will be violence lol

Schaub's small head will doom him again, he will out strike Lavar before getting knocked out.

Agree on all your predictions, except I see Faber by decision.

I feel like the interviews and one-on-ones seem better and a little different. I also at a time couldn't stand Sonnen, just from what I saw in interviews and stuff. But after realizing he does it to hype the fight and to get PPV buys, I actually really like the guy. He seems to me that he is HIGHLY out coaching Jones.
I too like how they're doing the "one-on-one-interviews" this season. They've made them a little more "darker," and it's working for me.

I liked Sonnen before (because I knew he was just being a goofball with all his pre-PPV interviews), but now I'm REALLY starting to like him (because I'm seeing the serious side to him, and I t tend to find myself agreeing a lot with his philosophy).

There is no question Sonnen is out-coaching Jones. It's not even close, really. I still think Jones will easily handle Sonnen tho, however.

Sonnen is a great coach and motivator, no doubt.

Definitely possible, Hendo has the power to knock any man out. I like this fight because Hendo is normally aggressive and Lyoto is a counter striker, makes it very interesting.

This, and the women are normally very exciting, very technical as well. This is a great card.

I care very little to watch the Rousey fight. I guess you have watched a lot more womens' fights than I robj55 because I rarely find them exciting and the ones I've watched haven't been that technical. I just don't think people are going to be pumped for future fights. Everyone I know and have talked to on Twitter are all only interested in one fight and that's Rousey/Cyborg.

Watch the Kedzie/Tate fight, great woman's fight. The reason I say they are technical is because a lot of the time they lack that knockout power, and a lot of the guys just load up and head hunt while the females use there jab and do more than just head hunt. I think Rousey is exciting as shit but I would be in denial if I said that I wasn't looking forward to Hendo and Machida the most. I just feel that this is good for MMA as a whole, supposedly Ronda is getting more press than eve Brock got when he entered the UFC. More eyes on the sport the better, it further legitimizes it.

I dont expect the rousey fight to last over 2 minutes and i would expect it to end with an armbar

Yeah me too, but will still be exciting. I wonder if Liz can survive long enough if Ronda would get discouraged, only way I could see things going in Carmouche's favor.

I disagree. Koscheck's eyes rolled in the back of his head, and he was barely defending.

I agree. Faber needed that one and he stepped up with a nice submission.
