Three damn good fights so far:
Fedor vs. Mark Hunt- Hunt may not deserve the title shot, but he is a very dangerous opponent for anyone. Common sense would tell you that all Fedor has to do is take the fight to the ground and submit Hunt, but will he? When he fought Cro-cop he opted to play Mirko's game (stand up) and he not only held his own, he beat him. I think Fedor will end up either getting a Gnp stoppage, or submission victory over Hunt, but not before exchanging a bit of hands with Hunt.
Gilbert Melendez vs. Tatsuya Kawajiri- This is my favorite match up of the three so far, Gilbert is undefeated and has a few solid wins under his belt and is ready for this step up to the next level. Tatsuya has alot more experience and has been in with better caliber fighters than Gilbert has. In the end I see Gilbert pulling off the upset win.
Shinya Aoki vs. Joachim Hansen- This match features two pretty good grapplers, but the edge in stand-up clearly goes to Hansen. Hansen has the better chin, the better stand up, and can hang on the ground with Aoki. I think he will end up finishing Aoki in brutal fashion. I think the winner of this fight should fight the winner of Melendez/Kawajiri for the number 1 contender spot.
I would buy the PPV on these three fights alone, but I know there is alot more bad ass fights to come.
