MAIN CARD

* Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira vs. Cain Velasquez
* Michael Bisping vs. Wanderlei Silva
* George Sotiropoulos vs. Joe Stevenson
* Ryan Bader vs. Keith Jardine
* Mirko "Cro Cop" Filipovic vs. Anthony Perosh

The UFC's first event in Australia and while not the most stacked card there are some matches of interest.

Big Nog vs Cain......... Going too take Cain based on his constant pressure by dec.
Bisping vs Silva........ Silva by KO but we'll see how the weight cut affects him.
Bader vs Jardine.... Bader. Jardine won't have any answers for Bader's wrestling
Cro-Cop vs Perosh.... Cro-cop. If he can't beat this last min replacement something is wrong.
Sotiropoulus vs Stevenson. Stevenson in a close one. Hard too bet against the Jackson camp.

Big Nog by submission, 2nd rd ~ Cain runs out of steam and collapses under Minatauro's BJJ
Silva by KO, 2nd rd - Silva gets to kick the living shit out of idiotboy and bigmouth Bisping much like Hendo did
Sotiropoulos by unanimous - George feeds off the home crowd and squeaks by Joe
Jardine by KO, 1st rd - Too much for Bader who won't be able to lay-and-pray with Jardine's weird style and angles
Filipovic by TKO, 1st rd - Mirko HAS to beat this nobody or he should retire permenantly and go back to the Croatian Parliament

Too bad the Sosysnski fight might not be broadcast - could be a good one

Funny to watch Rampage and Dana do their best to ignore each other during the weigh ins

Only reason to watch this event.

I thought Oracle was going to ace it, but 4/5 is still good. All the betting favorites won except Stephenson, Velasquez-Noquiera was even.

Bader looked very good in hammering Jardine. He may be the real deal but in the stacked light-heavy division he's got some more improving to do.
Nice to see Bisping get KTFO in the last few seconds by Wandy.
Cain looked OK in defeating Big Nog but how will he do against the big heavys like Lesnar, Mir, Carwin? One more big win and he gets a shot for sure.
Stevenson looked less than ordinary against Sotiropoulos who fed off the home crowd and dominated on the ground with great BJJ.
Mirko was always looking for the highlight reel KO but his punching bag kept turtling and then couldn't answer the bell.

All in all a decent card. I am really looking forward to GSP/Hardy next month. But then I'm a huge GSP fan!
