I didn't think much of him prior to that fight (despite his record), but that was a perfect punch. None of Liddell's previous losses had been as humbling as that knockout.
Wanderlei Silva is one of my favorite fighters in all of professional MMA. I hope he takes Jackson for a third time. He had lost three consecutive fights before coming back to destroy Keith Jardine, proving he still has it in him. Has he ever won a title in UFC? Defeating Jackson again may put him in line for a shot at light heavyweight. I think both Silva and Jackson are both capable of taking Evans.
Even though Cheick Kongo lost to Heath Herring earlier this year, I still think the guy has potential. A lot of people think he may be the answer to a lackluster heavyweight class, and I'd like to see him fight Lesnar.
Dean Lister is fighting on this card. Anyone else think he looks like the retarded Kryptonian from Superman II?

Griffin in a desicion
Nogueira in the 3rd by submission
Wanderlei in a 2nd round knockout
Dunno much about Al-Turk, so it's hard to say. Kongo has been inconsistent his time in the UFC, so that one can go either way.
CB Dolloway hasn't proven much of shit since getting his ass beatin by Saddollah, but they're giving him a nobody, so I'll say Dolloway in the second round.
Yushin Okami will beat Lister, though it's on the undercard, so unless it's a fucking great fight nobody will see it.
