This card is on October 18th, which is Hulk's birthday.  Hopefully Bisping will bring Hulk a great birthday present and render Leben unconscious.  Overall though this is a relatively underwhelming card and resembles an Ultimate Fight Night more than anything.

UFC 89

Main Card Bouts:
-Michael Bisping vs. Chris Leben:  Bisping via dominant 30-27 decision.  Hulk could see Bisping stopping him but Leben is a tough guy and has been in tons of battles and Hulk thinks he'll probably survive three rounds but be on the losing end of all of them.

-Rameau Thierry Sokoudjou  vs. Luis Cane: Sokoudjou via TKO.  Cane is a very game fighter and he will look better in this fight than a lot of people think, but Sokoudjou will likely stop him some time around the 2nd round.

-Keith Jardine  vs. Brandon Vera: Vera via KO.  Brandon hasn't looked that great in his last few fights, but he has serious skills and when firing on all cylinders can give anyone a rough night.  Hulk sees him beating Jardine in every aspect of the fight on route to a KO victory.

-Marcus Davis vs. Paul Kelly:  Marcus via TKO.  Paul Kelly is a solid fighter and Hulk thinks we will see him put on a good showing but Marcus will win this due to experience and just being on a slightly higher level of talent.  Kelly likes to stand and trade which Hulk thinks will just lead to Marcus blasting him on the chin at some point.

-Shane Carwin vs. Neil Wain: Shane Carwin via KO.  Carwin is an animal.  Huge guy, good hands and is overall very well rounded.  He's on his way up in the heavyweight division.  Soon we'll probalby see him fighting someone like Werdum or Gonzaga to move into title contention talks.

-Paul Taylor vs. Chris Lytle: Chris Lytle via TKO or submission.  This will probably be a pretty entertaining fight that Lytle should win, he's better in every aspect of the fight game and much more experienced.


Hulk isn't doing undercard bouts just to save time.  The only one that looked really interesting was the Gono fight, which Hulk is picking him to win by submission.
