Pedro Rizzo by ko
Carlos Newton by decision
Pete Williams by submission...foot or leg
Randleman by decision
Almeida by submission
Serra destroys Shonie Carter by TKO or submission

I don't know the other fighters well enough to pick.

One must toughen up without losing one's tenderness.

[Mr. Nemo]

Rizzo by KO.

At first I thought Militech would keep the title, but I've seen a couple of Carlos Newton's fights since then. Now I say Newton by submission.

Serra and BJ Penn will also win their matches. I don't know the other fighters too well, so I'm not making any picks.

By the way, I saw pics from the weigh-ins. Everyone made weight. Tito and Coleman were both there, and there was a picture of a guy that looked like Roy Jones Jr.! Is RJJ an NHB fan?

How many of these UFC matches are held every year? Does anyone know, please?

Zuffa bought the UFC about four months ago. They are staging fights every two months. IFC schedules 2nd tier events every two months. Pride schedules events every two months.

One must toughen up without losing one's tenderness.
