Here are my UFC predictions for tonight's UFC 97:
Anderson "The Spider" Silva over Thales Leites.
Chuck Liddell over Mauricio Rua
Brian Stann will beat Krzysztof Soszynski
Anderson Silva dominates in the same fashion as GSP. Until he loses-or goes up in weight to fight some heavier beast, it'd be stupid to pick against him, so I won't.
Questions continue to surface about Liddell's retirement plans. If he loses this fight, it may be time to get serious about them. But, I don't see him losing.
Brian Stann, a Silver Star recipient, will return to the octagon tonight after a foot injury kept him out of his original UFC debut. Stann was a Marine infantry officer who trained at the same school I'm at right now. I think he will win this fight if he can keep it a stand up fight. Stann's ground game has not been seen much due to his devistating punching ability. I've been assured by Marines here that have trained with him that his ground game is good too. After destroying a lot of men in the WEC with his striking ability, tonight may be the night we see if his ground game is up for the challenge.

That's cool that some of the Marines you're with trained with him. Are you thinking about having a fight some day?
If so I will teach you the Scorpion Deathlock.
