Strikeforce Fedor vs Rogers

Fedor Emelianenko vs. Brett Rogers
Jake Shields vs. Jason “Mayhem” Miller
Gegard Mousasi vs. Rameau Thierry Sokoudjou
Fabricio Werdum vs. Antonio Silva

UFC 105

Randy Couture vs. Brandon Vera
Michael Bisping vs. Denis Kang
Dan Hardy vs. Mike Swick
Matt Brown vs. James Wilks
Ross Pearson vs. Aaron Riley

WEC Brown vs Aldo

Mike Brown vs. Jose Aldo
Manny Gamburyan vs. Leonard Garcia
Rob McCullough vs. Karen Darabedyan
Danny Castillo vs. Shane Roller

UFC 106

Tito Ortiz vs. Forrest Griffin
Josh Koscheck vs. Anthony Johnson
Luiz Cane vs. Antonio Rogerio Nogueira
Dustin Hazelett vs. Karo Parisyan
Phil Baroni vs. Amir Sadollah

Does anyone just have that gut feeling that the upset is going to happen in one of these fights?

Nice picks Nick. I want Miller to win by a$$ whippin' but Shields has a knack for pulling off wins. I don't really like the guy but we'll see. Maybe these arent upsets but just hopeful picks.

Here's what upsets would look like

Brett Rogers > Fedor Emelianenko

Rameau Thierry Sokoudjo > Gegard Mousasi

Brandon Vera > Randy Couture

Jose Aldo > Mike Brown

Josh Koscheck > Anthony Johnson [only if it's by KO!]

I think these are the most standout upsets. What do you guys think? What am I missing?

dan hardy will upset swick...i will bet on that.....swick may have fast hands but dan hardy is a better standup fight er and will out strike swick imo

I think baroni is gonna tko amir in the first and then proclaim "im the best eva!!" while straddling the top of the cage

also im picking saw a jew to upset mousasi only because i want to see a sweet saw a jew ko like he had in pride

IMO Sokoudjou only wins if he comes to the cage in his Predator mask.
;)

And in spite of my Couturian tendencies, I wouldn't consider it an upset if Brandon Vera wins at 105. Couture is an icon in MMA, but he's creeping up on 50, and at some point that Captain America serum is going to wear off and reduce him to just another fit middle aged guy training fighters at his gym.

If I were forced to pick a fight that's the most likely to yield and upset, I'd suggest maybe Brown-Aldo, but I certainly wouldn't be putting any money on it...

I want Mousassi to win, that guy is good. But you can't sleep on Saw-A-Jew, he might knock you out...and then keep knocking you out after the ref says the fight is over!

On the betting line Kang is the favorite to win believe or not.
Here was the odds (Some sites are different but this is where I always look)

Denis Kang -130
Michael Bisping +100

my bad ufcmanz i figured bisping was the favourite, i would still consider it an upset if he loses tho cause the ufc has put alot into him as their UK poster boy and he is well known while all the casual fans prob have no idea who denis kang is

interesting topic.
I would LOVE to see bisping get wrecked again i thinnk he is overrated and cocky as h3ll. he is not as good as he thinks he is. i like soukodju as a fighter he is a big strong dude with crazy power. never count him out. also i hope randy neats couture but could go either way as well as hardy/swick (i got swick via late round tko).
