I'm far from an expert but here's some predictions for this card, feel free to disagree, agree or call me clueless (after all, I'm usually way off in my picks):

Silva over Marquardt - 2nd Round TKO
Silva likes to end fights fairly quick and he's deceptively fast and strong. They'll go toe-to-toe until Nate sees he's outmatched and go for the ground. I don't think he'll get there .. if he does, he'll probably get the win too.

Evans over Ortiz - Decision
Evans seems to be getting better and better with each fight. He's incredibly strong and I think a fairly even matchup on the ground, his strength will be the difference in a modest upset.

Sherk over Franca - Decision
Sherk is ferocious on the mat and I think stronger than Franca in a match that will probably be mostly a ground game.

Nogueira over Herring - 2nd Round Submission
Minotauro is a beast and although Herring won his last fight vs. a very big Imes, he's not going to be able to stop a far more talented and experienced Nogueria. Should be a good fight regardless but the same result as last time.

Others:
Bonner over Nickels
Florian over Robinson (Every time I've thought Florian would lose, he's won ... so it's guaranteed he'll lose this one now that I'm picking him)
