--

And for BD;

Saffiedine - Strikeforce Welterweight Champ, beat up Marquadt with leg kicks.
Gyu Lim - South Korean Top Team fighter, is a beast and is brutal in the clinch.
Kawajiri - Dream/Pride vet, dominant grappler, who looks strong at Featherweight (recently made the drop)
Soriano - Unbeaten Blackzilians prospect from RFA, well rounded.
Kunimoto - Fun to watch striker, mostly Karate based I believe but mixes it up, has some nasty kicks.
Luiz Dutra - Was in Brazil TUF season 2 (I think), seemed well rounded, but more of a striker.
Kang - Fought a few times in the UFC, another South Korean who has looked good despite his record, should've beaten Caceres, and was on his way to beating Camus before getting dropped and beat up in the Third. Strong grappler.
Shimizu - Japanese vet, a Yoshida Judo export, never seen him fight but expecting him to be a solid grappler.

TBH though BD, you're guess look pretty good as predictions haha.

[Ty]

Looks like he copied most my picks, of course he did good. It's a lot better card then most people give it credit for.
