Card to me doesn't seem that exciting but overall it seems decent
Velasquez vs Bigfoot - Bigfoot doesn't stand a chance. He's a good fighter but I don't think he's top 5. Velasquez should end this early by TKO
Dos Santos vs Hunt - I really like both fighters and love Hunts underdog story, he has great 1 punch knock out power but Dos Santos is more of a complete fighter. It will be interesting to see how Dos Santos approaches this fight. He will either stand and try to pick apart Hunt with his boxing like he did against Carwin or take Hunt down and submit him. Even though Dos Santos boxing is better than Hunts it will be risky for him to stand and trade with him. Hunt has been known to have a bad ground game, 5 of his last 6 losses have came by submission. I think Dos Santos takes him down and wins by submission
Teixeira vs Te Huna - Te Huna has really strong hands and a rock hard chin but I think Teixeira is good all around, he has good boxing, wrestling and BJJ. Only way I see Te Huna winning is if he catches him with that one punch. Teixeira by decision
Maynard vs Grant - Big stakes on the line for this fight, the winner gets to fight Henderson for the title. I think Maynard will be too big and too strong for Grant and Grants stand up won't be enough to put him away. I can't remember the last time Maynard knocked out or subbed someone so it will probably go the distance. Maynard by decision
Cerrone vs Noons - This fight is the one I'm nost excited for. Should be a 3 round war with Cerrone getting the decision
