Leading in to one of the most anticipated seasons of The Ultimate Fighter, we have quite a UFC Fight Night card which may be even better than UFC 103 PPV offered this coming Saturday. Kimbo Slice and the cast of TUF 10 take a seat and enjoy a night of free fighting.
Lightweight bout: Nate Diaz vs. Melvin Guillard Nathan is coming off 2 consecutive losses and quite possibly may get cut if he loses again (though I doubt it). Melvin is off the cocaine and looking to up his win streak to 4 and become a journeyman for the Lightweight division. Besides the KO power, Guillard lacks any visible skill on the ground though that didn't stop him from taking a victory in his last bout against a Jiu-Jitsu practitioner in Gleison Tibau which is also the Church where Diaz worships. Still if Nate is on his game at all, he can use his massive reach to stick that jab in Mels eye before taking him down and submitting him for the 7th time in his career. Gaping holes are meant to be filled Melvin. Just ask your mother. The lack of a floor plan again beckons the downfall for the blond bomber.
WINNER-Nate Diaz sub Rd.2
Lightweight bout: Gray Maynard vs. Roger Huerta Nothing in Roger's appearance or demeanor makes me believe he even wants this fight before he jets off to Hollywood and a straight to DVD career. The UFC benched the talented youngster for a year before giving him this last assignment right before his contract expires. The "Bully" is just that and considering his wrestling pedigree and heavy hands, I don't expect the "Matador" to be in very good shape at the end of this fight. Roger is tough as they come but the Xtreme Couture protege is looking toward a title shot while Huerta looks to co-starring with Patrick Swayze. What, he died? Oh, well then Eric Roberts.

WINNER-Gray Maynard Keenan by decision
Welterweight bout: Carlos Condit vs. Jake Ellenberger So the WEC took Condit's belt and then sent him to the UFC where he ran right into Martin Kampmann who is getting pretty damn close to a title shot. Now the "NBK" sets his icy stare on Jake who is a pretty decent fighter in his own right. Just don't expect him to have a good UFC debut as the almost evil Condit uses his height and length to ensnare said fighter before tapping him out in painful fashion.

WINNER-C.C. by sub Rd.1
Middleweight bout: Nate Quarry vs. Tim Credeur Its rock em sock em robots as 2 stiff stand up fighters meet and refuse to make it look pretty. Timmay has improved since TUF but not as much as Nate who don't forget was on the 1st season. Nate is better all around and should bury Tim's UFC career in his "Rock" Quarry (I like puns).

WINNER-The 2nd Nate on the card by TKO Rd.2
Prelims
Light Heavyweight bout: Steve Cantwell vs. Brian Stann The rubber match between the former WEC Light Heavy Champions but little has changed. Steve is still more well rounded but both possess KO power. Look for each man to be a little too cautious of each other but Cantwell eventually gets the nod.

WINNER-Can Good by decision
Welterweight bout: Chris Wilson vs. Mike Pyle It'll be a close one as Team Quest meets Xtreme Couture as Matt Lindland and Randy Couture students clash. Interesting no? This should be a really close fight as both men prefer the ground but can bang a bit as well. I like Pyle's transitions better than Wilson's but I doubt he taps him out. Flip a coin.

WINNER-Quicksand by Split-Decision
Middleweight bout: C.B. Dollaway vs. Jay Silva C.B. Douchebag meets another Brazilian named Silva who likes to stand up fight. Weird huh? I'll take the less experienced fighter with admittedly less talent because C.B. seems to be a bit of a puss in general and likes to dictate the matches pace. Not sure he'll get the chance here but this is an Upset Pick so Jay will probably be subbed.

UPSET PICK WINNER-Jay Silva by TKO Rd.1
Lightweight bout: Sam Stout vs. Phillipe Nover OK Nover, the UFC is trying their damnedest to keep you on the roster and here you have a fellow stand up fighter who definitely won't take you down. I still think you lose and where do you get the balls to wear shades at every weigh-in like you are somebody after dropping your 1st 2 UFC fights? Stout is about as inconsistent as they come but he should win.

WINNER-"Hands Of Stone" by decision
Lightweight bout: Jeremy Stephens vs. Justin Buchholz 2 equally disappointing Lightweights collide with 2 very different styles. Stephens is a brick shit house while Justin wants to lay with you. I'd take Jeremy as being tougher and just beating his way to saving his job.

WINNER-The "Heathen" by decision
Welterweight bout: Brock Larson vs. Mike Pierce Why is pointy nose so far down on the card? The guy is 26-2 with 18 submissions! Oh, Mike is screwed here but lets give Brock a little more credit in the lineup from now on people. Pierce is going to retreat from this 1 faster than Larson's hairline. I don't know why I'm picking on B.L. so much when I like him. Must be a Jr. High pull the girls hair trick.

Middleweight bout: Ryan Jensen vs. Steve Steinbeiss RULE-"Never pick the guy making his debut."
