He's real well-rounded and has the game to cause major problems for Anderson. Wouldn't be surprised though if Silva caught him early and put him to sleep. Can never rule out a KO with his ridiculous standup. Rashad vs Tito- I'm starting to waver a little more in this opinion, particularly since Tito looks to have a significant size and perhaps power advantage on Rashad, but I got Rashad taking the step up to the A leagues with a decision victory. Tito cries of course. What makes this matchup intriguing just like Silva-Marquardt is basically any result wouldn't shock you though, and if Tito's power overwhelms Rashad, Rashad may start thinking of cutting to 185 LBs. Franca vs Sherk- The chubby Brazalian that doesn't even workout much versus the freak that is Sean Sherk. I like em both, but the work ethic and the style matchup points to Sherk taking down Franca easily and as often as he needs. He'll either get the decision or the TKO at some point. But I do think Franca is good enough to make this a fight. Definitely a great card. I could see Alvin Robinson pulling the upset on Kenny Florian as well. Big Nog better not lose to Herring and I don't think he will.

Tito did no damage, didn't land a single solid takedown, as opposed to Rashad's two, looked slow and overmatched in the standup, and yet Rashad takes a draw.
