Strange fight for Chuck to take after beating Wandy Silva, considering that a victory over Rashad would do very little to fuel his effort to regain the light-heavyweight title, and losing would mean he’d have to start seriously considering retirement, but there you go. I’m expecting a few Liddell R1 KO predictions for that one.

The Rich Franklin v Matt Hamill fight poses a similar set of circumstances for Franklin – winning won’t do much to enhance his reputation, but losing could be a big setback. And Hamill is a tough hombre.

So, predictions please, ladies and gents. Rules stay the same; 5 points for picking the winner, an additional 3 for the finishing method and 1 for the round.

Wes is still miles ahead on the leaderboard, Leo is in second place and Derek in third.

The event can be seen live on Setanta Sports 1 at 3am on Sunday morning, and is repeated at 10pm Sunday on Setanta Sports 2.

Main Card
Chuck Liddell Vs. Rashad Evans
Rich Franklin Vs. Matt Hamill
Karo Parisyan Vs. Yoshiyuki Yoshida
Dan Henderson Vs. Rousimar Palhares
Martin Kampmann Vs. Nate Marquardt

Not many more big names on the card, but Tyson Griffin always gives good sport and, on a personal note, I’d love to see Chris Lytle put the hurt on Josh Koscheck. The show starts at 3am on Saturday night on Setanta Sports 1.

It’s late notice, but I still want your predictions for the fights. Rules are the same as always – 5 points for picking the winner of each fight, plus bonus points for predicting the finishing method (3) and round (1).

Josh leads the way so far with 47 points, with Wes and Ronan following with 36 and 30 points respectively. Not a clue what the prize for the overall leader at the end of the year will be, but you can bet it’ll be amazing.

Main Card

Quinton Jackson Vs. Forrest Griffin
Patrick Cote Vs. Ricardo Almeida
Joe Stevenson Vs. Gleison Tibau
Josh Koscheck Vs. Chris Lytle
Tyson Griffin Vs. Marcus Aurelio

Alright, so Chuck against Shogun isn’t happening, and we all know that Matt Hughes is past his best, but when was the last time you saw him in a boring fight?

Marcus Davis always puts on a great show, and personally I’m looking forward to seeing if Bisping looks as good as he did in his last bout.

So I want your predictions please, ladies and gentlemen. Rules are the same as last time: 5 points for picking the winner of each fight, plus bonus points for predicting the finishing method (3) and round (1).

The scores from the last event will be carried over, with the overall Super-Predictor-Lad at the end of the year winning… something. Leo’s out ahead with 25 points, followed by Josh with 23 and Ronan with 22.

Main card

Matt Hughes Vs. Thiago Alves
Michael Bisping Vs. Jason Day
Marcus Davis Vs. Mike Swick
Nate Marquardt Vs. Thales Leites
Fabricio Werdum Vs. Brandon Vera
