Silva get's taken down early, either rides out the round on the bottom like he did in the first fight, if he gets back up he gets Wiedman's timing down and it goes to the second. In the second Anderson finishes Wiedman with Strikes, maybe knees.
Prediction - Silva to get his title back and retire Champion. TKO Round 2.

First Crowat…thank you for sharing your wisdom all year. It has been an honor to follow you in 2013. Congrats on your outstanding YTD%.
I agree with Silva…he has bounced back well before. If Weidman is able to take him down like Chael did…it is over. Silva knows this and will keep this standing like he was trying to do in the first fight.
Remember, all of the Spider "mugging" he does standing up has a reason…it is not just for show or arrogance. By dropping his hands and waving the fighter in…Silva is trying to keep his opponent engaged in the stand up fight.

Ronda Rousey
vs.
Miesha Tate Co-Main Event | Title Fight | Bantamweight | 135 lbs (61.2 kg) I don't agree with the +500 lines, stopping the take-downs of an Olympic Judoka is easier said than done but I think Tate keeps this standing and 5 rounds is a long time, could Ronda go 8 for 8 with the first round Arm Bar...she sure could, at +500 I can't help but see tons of Value against a fighter 7 fights deep and who has never been out of the 1st round.
Prediction - Tate via split decision. Not my most confident pick.

If you don't count Barnett's recent loss to Cormier, Brown is a huge step up in competion compared to the last 10 or so fighters he has fought. Barnett is a master catch wrestler (in my opinion one of the best in the world currently) and master submission artist, he has devoted his life to the ground game and it has paid off with 18 of his 33 wins coming by way of Catch.
This fight comes down to the clinch and whether or not Browne can stay off his back, Browne has a pretty good ground game himself but he will find himself introuble should Barnett get him down for any extended period of time.
Barnett is hard to train for as his take-down don't come from the outside like a tradintional wrestler, instead barnett cuts off the cage and pressures his ooppentnts into a clinch battle, battle Barnett almost always wins, once the clinch is engaged it's a matter of time before a trip or body lock take-down is coming. Prediction - This might get ugly, Browne probably has good enough BJJ to survive on the ground but I think he gets taken down...a lot. Conversely Barnett has only been stopped with strikes twice in 39 fights, once to the still somewhat primed Pedro Rizzo and once to the great Cro Cop. Barnett via UD.

Miller should outclass Camoes, Jim really only needs to worry about scrambles and transitions where Camoes can be deadly. Miller should have the Cardio, Wrestling and Striking advantage and while Miller can definetley hold his on on the mat, BJJ is Camoes bread and butter. Prediction - Miller via UD.
