UFC 108: January 2, 2010MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada
I can't completely blame the UFC for this awful card nobody should pay for, as fighter after fighter got the injury bug curse and shuffled this card causing Joe Silva to earn his paycheck early into 2010. It still should not be paid for.
Main Bouts (PPV):
Rashad Evans (13-1-1) vs. Thiago Silva (14-1) "Sugar" may leave himself wide open with some looping punches and catch a steam train right down the pipe but I feel he has a more well rounded game than the hard striking Jiu-Jitsu from Brazil. He'll need the solid gameplan of Greg Jackson but he'll find a way.

WINNER-Rashad Evans
Paul Daley (22-8-2) vs. Dustin Hazelett (12-4) "McLovin" will need to be careful with the heavy handed Brit, but pulling guard or what have you will lead to that eventual "Submission Of The Night."

WINNER-Dustin Hazelett by flying gogo plata in Rd.3
Joe Lauzon (18-4) vs. Sam Stout (20-5-1) Stout lives up to his last name as a durable striker with limited skills while "J-Lau" can strike but will drag the Canadian to the floor for a thurough drubbing and eventual stoppage.

WINNER-Joe Lauzon by Rd.1 Submission
Duane Ludwig (19-9) vs. Jim Miller (15-2) "Bang" returns to the UFC for the 1st time since 2003 for a last 2nd replacement bout. "Bang" never evolved as a fighter and thus on the mat will be pummeled back into obscurity. Lets just hope he's feeling a bit better than that dehydrated skeleton that weighed in for him.

WINNER-Jim Miller submission Rd.3
Junior Dos Santos (10-1) vs. Gilbert Yvel (36-13-1) There is little reason Yvel should even be employed with Zuffa but that aside, the guy used to be a decent albeit unprofessional fighter. He has that "puncher's chance" but I would not bet on it against a fellow striker from Team Nogueira who should own this fight wherever it goes. Run the train "Cigano."

Prelim Bouts (On Spike TV):
Martin Kampmann (15-3) vs. Jacob Volkmann (9-1) The Dutch "Hitman" will need to work to get the win over an explosive super technical wrestler and rebound after a title shot losing loss to Paul Daley.

Dan Lauzon (12-2) vs. Cole Miller (15-4) The newly crowned "Upgrade" has game and toughness but Cole is going to be able to trade a bit before taking "D-Lau" to the mat and twisting him up like a Twizzler. *The younger Lauzon has never gone to a decision in 14 pro bouts.
