Sherk, too strong. Unanimous Dec. Boring fight and I really like Franca, but I just see Sherk laying on top of him for 25 minutes gaining points
Marquardt, after destroying a terrible implemented gameplan in Franklin and then coming back and should have gotten beat by a worn down Lutter, I am going with Marquardt. Marquardt is a legend in King of Pancrase and I think that carries over into Silva. Marquardt knows not to get in the clinch.
Tito in UD. This may not make it out of the 1st though. Tito will come out on fire like he did against Griffin. Evans hasnt seen anyone close to Tito's caliber and hasnt seen the limelight that this fight is under. After a rough 1st round Evans will settle down and make a fight of it (if he can make it out of the 1st) and Tito will gain another 29-28 decision. And al the Tito haters will still be hating.
I have been eyeing this fight since it wa announced. I really like Tito here!

Interesting thing with the main card is that UFC is really promoting the Tito and Evans fight. It's the main event, however it'll be the 3rd to last fight (due to the title fights).
And Tito calling Evans a "Nappy Headed Ho" is a typical Tito pre-fight tactic to promote himself and the fight. I'm just hoping Evans wont fall into the trap and come out swinging and shooting at Tito in the first round just wasting his energy (which is what Tito would hope for).
But Tito might as well do it as much trash talking as he can being that his term with UFC will be finished when his contract expires... Dana White can't stand him and his cocky attitude - saying that White doesn't promote him enough.

Rashad, Silva, Sherk, Nogueira, and most definitely Bonnar, i just dont see how bonnar can lose this fight. i'll probably lay off of the Nog fight because maybe, just maybe Herring is motivated for this fight and makes it interesting. the fight i am most looking forward to seeing is the rashad tito fight. if tito loses, im wondering if he'll b out of the ufc, or just relegated to gate keeper status. gl

Dont t hink for a minute that Dana does not love the gate that Tito brings with him. Tito is not going anywhere after this contract, unless he losses to Evans and then again and again. But as long as he beats Evans, which he will, Tito will be around.
I am not too sure that Tito/Evans will not be the co-main event. It will go Sherk/Franca then Tito/Evans and then Marquardt/Silva. Nothing concrete, but it has happened before.
Back to the Tito/Evans fight....Evans would be wise to come and swinging to start the fight. That should be his gameplan. Bullies do not like to be bullied. Come out and the beginning and let Tito know that he will not be pushed around. That wont happen though. There is an enormous amount of pressure on Evans. He has never had this amount of media coverage, interviews, jawing back and forth beforew a fight. He will be OVERWHELMED to start out. He has nevert had a TITO staring across at him to start the fight. There is a chance that it will get stopped in the 1st. If it doesnt it will turn into a decent fight.
Look back at the Forrest Griffin postfight inteviews. He said that he was starstruck the 1st round against Tito and it about got stopped. Rampage said the same thing in his 1st fight in the UFC. His knees were shaking to start off. I know this isnt Evans' 1st fight but it is at this level.
