Noons vs. Cerrone up first. I picked Cowboy to win, but his nonchalant, smiley demeanor has me a bit nervous.

Josh Thomson told us tonite that if Cerrone wins, he thinks that would be a decent next matchup for him. Of course, he'd prefer Benson. #UFC

Best Cerrone game plan I've ever seen. Combos. Shots. Distance. Patience.

Joe Rogan really does seem to think that EliteXC was Strikeforce. Noons was never Strikeforce champion, good sir.

Noons has now lost 5 of 6. One wonders if Zuffa employment isn't going to be a part of his near-term future.

Gray Maynard vs. T.J. Grant up next. I expect a wrestling-heavy plan from Maynard given Grant's awful takedown defense.

Dana White just smiled and gave Grant a thumbs-up when he talked about wanting Henderson. #UFC should be thrilled he didn't take much damage

Of all the fights at #UFC160 with upset potential, this ranks tops for me. Teixeira is the better fighter, but must be disciplined.
