As much as I like Elvis, it does highlight how few top level MMA Fighters there are in Aussie land when they are giving him another shot, and against a fellow Aussie, who he's fought before, who has been retired for years, well I guess it's the only way to guarantee a victory for the home nation, 2 fellow countrymen taking each other on.

I'd expect Joe Stevenson to win, and fairly easily, I think he's on another level to Sotiropoulos, I expect him to outwork him for 3 rounds to take the UD win.

The Main Event is tricky, until his victory over Couture, everyone had written Big Nog off, but the dude looked great in that fight, Cain though is a monster, although he has shown an inability to finish people, I really don't know who to pick here.

Cro Cop vs. Rothwell could well be another one of those "Loser leaves the UFC" matches.  After both guys have failed to live up to expectations, this is another tricky one, in their prime you'd pick Cro Cop, but he has been a shell of his former self in recent fights.

Bader vs. Jardine is a tricky one.  I see it going one of two ways, either Bader exposes Jardine's weak chin he hides behind his wispy beard early on and gets the tko victory, or Jardine's awkward style helps him to a split decision win.  I'm saying Bader gets it via extreme power early on.

What will the new and improved Wanderlai Silva be like against Bisping?  I know many think Bisping won't be able to cope with the heavy hands, but at the moment I'm thinking Bisping gets this one on points.
