UFC 142

Blah. Cruddy mood, I'm knocking this out in as cursory a fashion as possible. Some good fights, so lets see if I can do it in one sentence per fight!

Erick "Indio" Silva vs Carlo "Neo" Prater
welterweight

Prater is a late injury replacement, Silva is legit, Prater get's KO'd in the first.

Silva via KO, Rd. 1

Edson Barboza vs Terry Etim
lightweight

Two explosive, athletic fighters who look to bang on the feet and will slug it out in the Fight of the Night, with Barboza getting the nod after three tough rounds.

Barboza via Split Decision

Rousimar "Toquinho" Palhares vs. Mike Massenzio
middleweight

Palhares is as frightening as the come at 185, and Massenzio cannot prevent the submission wizardry as he taps to some kind of choke or lock in the first.

Palhares via submission (knee bar) Rd. 1

Vitor "The Phenom" Belfort vs. Anthony "Rumble" Johnson
middleweight

Johnson missed weight by eleven pounds, and if he doesn't stay under 205 tomorrow, the fight is off, but in any event, missing weight all these times will bite him karmically and Belfort will smash his head in for the disrespect.

Belfort via TKO, Rd. 2

Jose "Scarface" Aldo vs. Chad "Money" Mendes
featherweight

Mendes is a beastly wrestler, but unless he has learned to check a leg kick, he is in for a long night, and Aldo will pick him apart on his way to a third or fourth round TKO.

Aldo via TKO, Rd. 4
