The original main event was suppose to be Dos Santos defending this title against Alistair Overeem, but due to a failed drug test Overeem was pulled from the match. Now Frank Mir gets another opportunity to get a Heavyweight title around his waist. Mir has won his last three fights and he has looked impressive. Mir has a tough fight ahead of him. Dos Santos is a powerful heavyweight with devastating striking. If Mir wants any chance of winning this fight he’ll need to take this fight to the ground.
Also, expect Dos Santos to look at this fight as more than a title defense but to revenge the defeat of his team mate Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira by the hands of Mir.
My Picks:
Junior Dos Santos beats Frank Mir
Antonio Silva beats Can Velasquez
Roy Nelson beats Dave Herman
Shane del Rosario beats Stipe Miocic
Stefan Struve beats Lavar Johnson
Diego Brandao beats Darren Elkins
Edson Barbosa beats Jamie Varner
Duane Ludwig beats Dan Hardy
Kyle Kingsbury beats Glover Teixeira
Jacob Volkmann beats Paul Sass
Mike Brown beats Daniel Pineda
