The thread for all UFC 86 ness in here please. Curretn Offical line up is as follows...
Quinton Jackson Vs. Forrest Griffin Joe Stevenson Vs. Gleison Tibau Frank Mir Vs. Justin McCully Melvin Guillard Vs. Dennis Siver
Also rumoured to be on the card...
Chris 'Lights Out' Lytle Vs. Josh Koscheck Corey Hill Vs. Justin Buchholz Ricardo Almeida Vs. Patrick "The Predator" Cote Ben Saunders Vs. Jared "J-Rock" Rollins Tyson Griffin Vs. Marcus "Maximus" Aurelio The main event should be a cracker, Mir Mcully has the makings of a good fight since Mir has refound his fire. Griffin Vs. Aurelio should be superb.
I did have Forrest in the upset because I like the way that he matches up with Rampage (he's a striker that can avoid the takedown...see fight vs. Tito Ortiz), but so many people are now picking him to win that I don't know how Jackson is going to respond.
Good thing I still have a few months to make my pick...

Im saying Jackson all the way. Jackson has improved so much as a fighter in recent years and his strength will just be two much for Griffin. A couple of slams and it's all over. Plus he won't have Coture in his corner this time...
