No upsets but im hoping the main event is closer than most give it credit for. I certainly hope its not a landslide for GSP as this is his last real test at 170. I will say though that Shields sucked badly in his last 170 outing, maybe should focus on 185?

I also think that at some point Randy will be able to force Machida against the fence and then take him down, i wonder how he will be able to cope with the pressure. Makes for an interesting fight.

I think GSP has too many ways to win as opposed to Jake's way which involves the ground.....the problem lies in getting it there.  I can see GSP avoiding the takedown and picking Jake apart eventually leading to a stoppage in the 2nd or 3rd.  I  also see Couture looking to use a "wall n stall" style fight to get a close decision win.
