Some quick picks...

Fight of the Night is gonna be Serra/Lytle... the first match up with really close and I still think Lytle should have gotten the decision... i think this time he takes it... 29-28 across the board...

Bader over Nogueira... if you saw the fight against Jason Brilz... Nogueira looked like crap and I have a feeling its gonna take more than one fight in the UFC to get used to things... if Bader can stay away from submissions I think it's all him for a win... 3rd round TKO or maybe a Decision

Cro Cop is gonna get destroyed by Mir.... I hate to say it... but its true... Cro Cop is just too small and he lost some of his fighting spirit... I don't think he actually has that striking power that he did in PRIDE... and while I would love nothing more than to see him KO Mir... I just don't think its possible... 227lbs in a 265 weight class... either bulk up a little or learn to cut to 205... Sadly, I think Cro Cop is long past his prime... Mir by Submission early...

Well here is a summary for ya...
