\n Venue<\/strong>: Conseco Fieldhouse, Indianapolis, Indiana
\nBroadcast: <\/strong>Pay-per-view\/Spike TV<\/p>\n

Main Card:<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Frank Mir (13-5):<\/strong> -240
\nCro Cop (32-6-1):<\/strong> +190<\/p>\n

Frank Mir has looked good in all his recent fights except for the ones that count \u2013\u00a0the ones against Brock Lesnar. Mirko Cro Cop steps inside the Octagon with Mir this time with his battle weary body and diminishing punching power. Mir will dominate this fight in every aspect \u2013\u00a0Cro Cop is done! Pick:<\/strong> Frank Mir -240<\/p>\n

Ryan Bader (11-0):<\/strong> -175
\nAntonio Rogerio Nogueira (19-3):<\/strong> +145<\/p>\n

UFC Prospect Ryan Bader tries to keep his undefeated streak alive against a very well trained, well seasoned Antonio Rogerio Nouguiera. Bader has excellent wrestling, impressive strength and great punching power but \u201cLittle Nog\u201d may outshine Bader in all those categories. All around, Nogueira is the better fighter and Bader will likely face defeat for the first time. Pick:<\/strong> Antonio Rogerio Nogueira +145<\/p>\n

Chris Lytle (29-17-5):<\/strong> -140
\nMatt Serra (11-6):<\/strong> +110<\/p>\n

This is a rematch of The Ultimate Fighter 4 finale in which Serra won in a close decision. Lytle has kept busy and steadily improved while Serra has be largely inactive and has seen his skills level off. Chris Lytle gets his revenge. Pick:<\/strong> Chris Lytle -140<\/p>\n

Evan Dunham (11-0):<\/strong> -240
\nSean Sherk (32-4-1):<\/strong> +190<\/p>\n

In a \u201cprospect versus veteran\u201d\u00a0 fight, both Evan Dunham and Sean Sherk have something to prove. Both will use their wrestling background and all around games in attempts to climb the Lightweight ladder. Sherk\u2019s experience and relentlessness will be too much for the youngster to handle. Pick:<\/strong> Sean Sherk +190<\/p>\n

Melvin Guillard (25-8-2): <\/strong>-160
\nJeremy Stephens (17-5):<\/strong> +130<\/p>\n

This fight has fireworks written all over it. Both have proclaimed their disdain for each other in the media and both bring an aggressive, action packed style to the Octagon. This fight will likely come down to the better cardio and Guillard has he slight edge in that category. Pick:<\/strong> Melvin Guillard -160<\/p>\n

Spike TV Card:<\/strong><\/h3>\n

C.B. Dollaway (10-2):<\/strong> -350
\nJoe Doerksen (46-12):<\/strong> +250<\/p>\n

This should be a very good fight between a true veteran and an MMA youngster. The difference will likely be an all-too-familiar mistake by Dolloway. When Dolloway slips up, Doerksen, with his 33 submission wins will take advantage and submit the younger fighter. Pick:<\/strong> Joe Doerksen +250<\/p>\n

Matt Mitrione (2-0):<\/strong> -155
\nJoey Beltran (12-3):<\/strong> +125 <\/strong><\/span>\"Sports<\/a><\/p>\n

Two strikers do battle on the Spike TV Card. Mitrione will hold a huge height and reach advantage. He will also enter the Octagon as the more athletic and fit of the two fighters. That\u2019s enough for me! Pick:<\/strong> Matt Mitrione -155<\/p>\n

Preliminary Card:<\/strong><\/h3>\n

T.J. Grant (15-4):<\/strong> -165
\nJulio Paulino (17-3):<\/strong> +135<\/p>\n

Two well rounded fighters conclude the preliminary portion of UFC 119. TJ Grant will be looking to avenge a majority decision less to Johnny Hendricks while Julio Pauline will try to put an end to a two fight losing streak. Grant is likely the hungrier of the two. Pick:<\/strong> TJ Grant -165<\/p>\n

Mark Hunt (5-6): <\/strong>-165
\nSean McCorkle (9-0): <\/strong>+135<\/p>\n

Former K-1 World Champion Mark Hunt makes his long awaited UFC debut against another good striker and UFC newcomer, Sean McCorkle. Hunt has already had a storied career and holds victories over the likes of Wanderlei Silva and Mirko Cro Cop. He has lost his last five fights however and I think McCorkle has a chance for the upset. Pick:<\/strong> Sean McCorkle +135<\/p>\n

Thiago Tavares (18-3-1): <\/strong>-300
\nPat Audinwood (9-0-1): <\/strong>+240<\/p>\n

Thiago Tavares, a former contender looks to get back on track this Saturday against newcomer Pat Audinwood. Both fighters need this win to earn a little cred. I think that Tavares will be highly motivated even though he took the fight on short notice. He\u2019s got some work to do to get back to elite level. Pick:<\/strong> Thiago Tavares -300<\/p>\n

Waylon Lowe (8-3): <\/strong>-115
\nSteve Lopez (12-2): <\/strong>-115<\/p>\n

Two high level wrestlers that lost their UFC debuts will be chasing their first win in the UFC. Both are wrestlers but only one fighter has the all around skills to make life absolutely miserable for his opponent. Pick:<\/strong> Steve Lopez -115<\/p>\n
