St. Pierre is on an eight fight win streak \u2013 Shields has won 15 straight!

St. Pierre has dominated Jon Fitch twice \u2013 Fitch is a lot like Shields, and everyone else in his path \u2013 total domination.<\/p>\n<p>St. Pierre is simply on a different level than anyone else! <strong>Pick: Georges St. Pierre -450<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3><strong>UFC Featherweight Championship<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Jose Aldo (17-1-0): -500<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong> Mark Hominick (19-8-0): +350<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The incredible Jose Aldo finally gets to make his UFC debut on Saturday night and poor Mark Hominick will likely be the next victim. Jose Aldo has absolutely been dominant in the Featherweight Division and although Hominick is a tough dude, there is no way that he can keep up with Aldo.<\/p>\n<p>Aldo is considered Top 3 in the world pound-for-pound in the sport. Saturday will prove why. <strong>Pick: Jose Aldo -500<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Randy Couture (19-10-0): +250<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong> Lyoto Machida (16-2-0): -350<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Randy Couture will likely fight his last fight in Toronto against possibly the best challenger that he has faced in the last four years. While Randy Couture has been taking on guys like James Toney, Mark Coleman and Brandon Vera, Machida has been taking on the likes of Rampage Jackson and Shogun Rua.<\/p>\n<p>Machida was the Light Heavyweight champion only two fights ago and is still considered one of the best fighters on the planet \u2013 his climb back up the ladder will start against Couture on Saturday! <strong>Pick: Lyoto Machida -350<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Mark Bocek (10-2-0): +115<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong> Benson Henderson (12-2-0): -145<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Two very tough Lightweights look to make names for themselves in an uber-stacked UFC Lightweight Division. Both of these fighters bring a similar style \u2013 both are extremely athletic well rounded and tough. It is a matchup of two true submission artists. Henderson is one fight removed from losing his WEC belt and Bocek has won four of his last five fights (the only loss was to the next Lightweight Contender Jim Miller). It\u2019s a tough fight to call!<\/p>\n<p>Bocek has been around the UFC for a while and has defeated some of the best that the UFC Lightweight Division has while Henderson and I think that experience will be the different. The UFC is a different ball game than the WEC. <strong>Pick: Mark Bocek +115<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Vladimir Matyushenko (24-6-0): -120<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong> Jason Brilz (18-3-1): -110<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s weird \u2013 this fight almost seems like it is between father and son! Jason Brilz is a younger version of Vladimir Matyushenko! The problem for Brilz is that Matyushenko is better in every aspect that Brilz can bring to the show.<\/p>\n<p>Expect Matyushenko to get it done in lunch bucket style again! <strong>Pick: Vladimir Matyushenko -120<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Nate Diaz (12-6-0): -120<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong> Rory MacDonald (10-1-0): -110<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In an intriguing Welterweight battle \u201cthe Other Diaz\u201d steps into the Octagon with Rory MacDonald who is fresh off the first loss of his career. While Diaz is tough, he has lost four of his last seven fights \u2013 toughness can only get you so far.<\/p>\n<p>MacDonald is technically superior in every aspect of this fight and should be able to impose his will on the Cesar Gracie Brown Belt. <strong>Pick: Rory MacDonald -110<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>S<strong>ean Pierson (11-4-0): +160<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong> Jake Ellenberger (24-5-0): -200<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Jake Ellenberger steps in on short notice for Brian Foster to take on the very tough Sean Pierson. Ellenberger puts a three fight winning streak on the line against Pierson who has won six straight fights.  <!-- Affiliate Code Do NOT Modify--><a href=\"http:\/\/affiliate.sportsinteraction.com\/processing\/clickthrgh.asp?btag=a_3435b_841\" rel=\"nofollow\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" style=\"width: 250px; height: 250px; margin: 5px;\" src=\"http:\/\/affiliate.sportsinteraction.com\/processing\/impressions.asp?btag=a_3435b_841\" alt=\"MMA Betting\" width=\"250\" height=\"250\" \/><\/a><!-- End affiliate Code--><\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a case of Ellenberger, despite taking the fight on short notice, being a \u201cB level\u201d fighter and Pierson being a \u201cC+ level\u201d fighter. <strong>Pick: Jake Ellenberger -200<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Pablo Garza (10-1-0): +140<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong> Yves Jabouin (15-6-0): -170<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In a Featherweight battle, Pablo Garza, fresh off a Fight of the Night win takes on WEC veteran striker Yves Jabouin, who has lost two of his last three fights. Expect the experience and the dynamic striking of Jabouin to prevail. <strong>Pick: Yves Jabouin -170<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Claude Patrick (13-1-0): -155<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong> Daniel Roberts (12-1-0): +125<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It should be a good battle between two fighters that are considered the future of the Welterweight division. Claude Patrick puts a 12 fight win streak (8 years) against the uber-athletic Caesar Gracie trained Daniel Roberts. I think the streak continues! <strong>Pick: Claude Patrick -155<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Charlie Valencia (12-6-0): +150<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong> Ivan Menjivar (21-8-0): -180<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Charlie Valencia, a WEC veteran and winner of three of his last four fights takes on the skillful Ivan Menjivar in Bantamweight action on Saturday night. Menjivar\u2019s technique and varied skill set will win out in this one. <strong>Pick: Ivan Menjivar -180<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Jason MacDonald (21-13-0): +105<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong> Ryan Jensen (15-7-0): -135<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Jason MacDonald returns to the Octagon after a brutal knee injury in his last UFC fight. He is matched up against a wrestler and Jacksons Submission Fighting member Ryan Jensen. This fight could be the last in the organization for either combatant \u2013 there will be plenty of motivation for both.<\/p>\n<p>Expect the Jackson Submission Fighter to have a game plan against a recently shaky Jason MacDonald on Saturday night. <strong>Pick: Ryan Jensen -135<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Kyle Watson (13-6-1): +160<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong> John Makdessi (8-0-0): -200<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>TUF 12 semi-finalist Kyle Watson takes on undefeated Georges St. Pierre training partner John Makdessi.
