I have waited for more than a decade to see Mark Coleman and Randy Couture fight.  This was supposed to have happened back in 97 when Coleman was champ and Couture was bursting onto the scene with an amazing TKO win over previously undefeated Vitor Belfort. Couture suffered a rib injury, however, so the bout was shelved.  Who could've guessed that it would be 13 years before it finally happened.

Now that it is finally upon us, long time UFC fans like me are thrilled.  It's very hard to pick a winner for this fight, and I think it's going to be a closely contested battle.  Coleman's wrestling, however, will be the difference.  I think Couture will win the stand up battle but on the ground Coleman will be stronger.  After three tough rounds, I'm going with Coleman by decision.

The undercard features some great fights as well.  Nate Marquardt takes on Chael Sonnen.  Sonnen been runnin his mouth a lot in the build up to this fight, and he's already talking about taking on Anderson Silva.  Looking past Nate the Great could be a big mistake.  They have a recent common opponent in Demian Maia.  Nate knocked out Maia in just 21 seconds when they fought at UFC 102, but Maia finished Sonnen in the first round by submission in their fight.  MMA math doesn't really work of course, but to me this adds up to Nate winning the fight.  Marquardt by decision.

Speaking of Maia, he too is fighting tonight.  He takes on very tough Dan Miller.  Miller is a big underdog in this fight and at those kinds of odds, it would be wise to wager on him to win.  Maia is coming off that devestating KO by Marquardt and I'm not sure how that will affect him tonight.  Miller can punch (see GIF) and he could very catch Maia coming in.  I think he will, actually.  Miller by KO

Matt "the Terror" Serra takes on Frank "Twinkle Toes" Trigg.   This is a great match for Matt.  Trigg's style is similiar to Matt Hughes's but not quite as good.  Serra was able to take Hughes the distance and he lost a very close decision.  I think his skill set matches up very favorably against Trigg and I expect him to win and look good doing it.  Serra by KO.
