I will be going live tonight at 10 PM EST guys.

As for my picks&#8230 I was really having a tough time with the Vera - Mir pick. My head said Vera and my heart said Mir, so I went with my heart. That will likely hurt me in the end.

As for the play-by-play for the PPV, I won&#8217t have the event tonight but I think that Scott will. I&#8217m not sure whether he will be watching it at home or out with friends so I&#8217m not sure about the live blog at this point&#8230

I&#8217ll be honest, I thought long and hard before picking Mir. If Vera does win, he&#8217s going to stop Mir, I don&#8217t see this one going to a decision. However the size advantage that Mir has may come in handy in this fight. If he can get Vera on the ground and hold him there, he can definitely submit him. For some reason, that&#8217s exactly what I see happening tonight&#8230

I can&#8217t believe that both of you are picking Frank Mir over Brandon Vera! Brandon should beat Mir impressively. I look to his victory over Fabiano Scherner, an equally large and imposing character as Mir, as insight into how this bout will go. Mir is more skilled than Scherner but it does offer a look at how the fight will play out. Mir&#8217s only advantage in this fight is his size. Brandon is better with his skills, fitness and mental preparation and has shown that he can handle a size disadvantage well.

While Mir may well catch up and become a great heavyweight again it&#8217s not for a while I would say.

Hey gang.

I agree with your predictions, however I&#8217m pulling for Jeff Monson to upset Sylvia. My gut says that he will get knocked out by a big punch, but if he can weasel his way in and get Sylvia down somehow, I believe he will pull it off.

Will you guys be posting by the fight?

Peace out.

Brian
