Hoorj for Franklin! My only claim to fame in life is that I did passing the guard drills with him and his brother.

Frank Trigg vs Renato Verissimo
John Marsh vs Tra Telligman
Jorge Rivera vs Rich Franklin
Trevor Prangley vs Ivan Salaverry
Patrick Cote vs Marvin Eastman

I only have one pick - Tanner over Lawler by submission. Robbie Lawler has an iron jaw, but Tanner has a better ground game - if he can take Robbie down.

Yup, Metzger is out due to injury and a guy from Canada is taking his place. His name is Patrick Cote and he's supposed to be good. Anyone heard of him?

Lawler has an Iron Jaw? Naw, he just got knocked the **** out by a bjj guy recently who had limited boxing skills. Tanner will kill him.

My picks:
Tito
Hughes
Trigg
Tanner

Don't know the opponents for these guys but here goes my guesses:
Tra (even though he's only got one pec)
Rivera

:glasses6: <--- and this guy approves

What happened to Mezger? I've been trying to find out what type of "training injury" this was, since I heard rumor of a stroke, which I'm hoping was a heat stroke.

Also, Franklin all the way. He's a monster.

Phew, okay, Mezger had "stroke-like symptoms" but not a real stroke.

MMAWeekly's Ryan Bennett reports that Guy Mezger is out of UFC 50. Unfortunately, the news is much worse than that. The initial report from sources was that Mezger fainted twice during training earlier in the week, then collapsed and later had a stroke.

The good news is that apparently Guy did not have a true stroke or black-out, but did have "stroke-like" symptoms and was taken to the hospital.

I was worried, since he's one of my favorites.

He fell over a cat at Shamrock's house, where he stayed the night.
