OK guys (and more than a few girls) it's UFC time again. Tonight it's UFC 86 and the card (minus a few off-card bouts) looks like this:

1. Forrest Griffin (205) VS Quinton Jackson (205)

2. Ricardo Almeida (185) VS Patrick Cote (185)

3. Chris Lytle (170) VS Josh Koscheck (170)

4. Marcus Aurelio (155) VS Tyson Griffin (155)

5. Gleison Tibau (156) VS Joe Stevenson (155)

6. Justin McCully (236) VS Gabriel Gonzaga (249)

7. Cole Miller (155) VS Jorge Gurgel (155)

PREDICTIONS:

1. Jackson over Griffin--second round KO (I realize I might look stupid tomorrow but right now, based on Jackson's last two fights against Dan Henderson and Chuck Liddell I just can't pick against Jackson. I think Forrest is more than a game opponent (and he did beat Shogun Rua) but I'm with Jackson on this one.

2. I am going with Cote on this one despite his opponent being a great BJJ fighter.

3. Koscheck should beat Lytle. I don't like picking for Kos but I think in this matchup he'll win.

4. I pick Tyson Griffin on this one but won't say more as I don't really know enough about his opponent to sound remotely intelligent.

5. Joe Stevenson--he needs a win badly right now and this fight might as well be a championship fight--at least it better be in his mind.

6. Gonzaga is a mean dude--he should win this one.

7. Cole Miller is actually a tough guy--but Gurgel is my pick.

It's tough though, with Griffen I mean because he's a solid fighter. Rampage is VERY good right now, best he's ever been in his career, and that is why I think he wins this one. If Griffen gets it, look for Liddell to access Dana White on speed dial and ask for a title shot. Jardine would also be in line. It would really shake things up at 205.
