On 12.12.09, we will find out who the best lightweight in the world is as well as watch Frank Mir continue his quest to get to Brock Lesnar. We also cannot forget Florian vs Guida. Check the preview and see my picks in red below. (Any picks not shown are because I haven’t seen those particular fighters before.)
MAIN CARD
* Champion B.J. Penn vs. Diego Sanchez (Lightweight Title)- I am so torn as both guys have great chances of winning. If B.J’s cardio is not up to snuff though, I see Diego by KO in 2nd or 3rd Round.
* Cheick Kongo vs. Frank Mir- Mir by submission.
* Jon Fitch vs. Mike Pierce- Fitch by decision.
* Kenny Florian vs. Clay Guida- Guida by decision.
* Paul Buentello vs. Stefan Struve- Buentello by K.O.
PRELIMINARY CARD- Some fights may be televised on SpikeTV
* Alan Belcher vs. Wilson Gouveia- Belcher.
* Shane Nelson vs. Matt Wiman- Wiman.
* Ricardo Funch vs. Johny Hendricks
* Lucio Linhares vs. Rousimar Palhares
* Edgar Garcia vs. DaMarques Johnson- Johnson by KO.
* Kevin Burns vs. T.J. Grant

I agree with all your picks on the main card except for Struve vs. Buentello. I got Struve submitting Buentello, although Paul definitely has the tools to KO Struve, but Struve looks to be improving after every fight, and I think his height is going to give Paul some problems. Paul's been around a long time, but I think Struve will just be coming in at better shape.
On a slightly related note, Buentello vs. Roy Nelson would make a good match up.
