Who are your picks and why? I'll post my picks now and my analysis later. But to be completely honest here, I'm about as good at picking fights as I am picking fights as a 3 year old is at picking his nose without causing a bleeder.

In fact, today my picks are going to go accoding to the "Costanza" or Opposite Rule.

Meh, not too bad. Though I thought Vera had it, 29-28, goes to show what happens when you give it to the judges. Hardy impressed me a ton, he silenced some critics for sure, and Bisping looked like he was back on his game, and not too gun-shy.

Even with the Costanza rule in effect my picking prowess is terrible. I did ultimately think that Hardy was going to win. His boxing skills in the pre-fight hype seemed to be a little sharper. I also thought that Couture would take home the win if for nothing else than the fact that I just didn't see Vera finishing him, and if it goes to decision against a legend…

But I would have totally messed up the picks with the under card fights. Man, good thing I have a day job… Oh wait a second.

I think Vera should have read your fighting off the cage blog beforehand :P
