Preview and picks after the jump.

Brock Lesnar (-240) vs Frank Mir (+190)

Steve Barry: Back in November, who would have ever expected the final match in the UFC’s mini-heavyweight tournament would be between Brock Lesnar and Frank Mir? I didn’t at least, and yet here we are, it’s UFC 100, and Lesnar vs Mir 2 is headlining.

It’s the not the best heavyweight fight of the summer, but it’s the most marketable, and millions of eyes will be glued to TV screens around the world to see what happens. What happens, though, is anyone’s guess. Brock Lesnar has the size, speed, power and athleticism in his corner while Frank Mir will have to heavily rely on his years of experience and martial arts training to pull out a second victory over Brock.

The gameplan for Mir should be simple. Find a way to get Brock on the ground and submit him. Yet, if you’ve listened to him talk about the fight in recent weeks, Mir, with a boost of confidence from throttling Nogueira, plans on kickboxing him on the outside and wearing him down. If that’s what Mir intends to actually do, I think he’s going to have a short night. There’s no reason to suggest Lesnar is great striker, but he’s undoubtedly improved his stand-up game, has an incredibly long reach and as he showed in the Herring and Couture fights, all it takes is one shot to put his opponent down. Mir may have improved by leaps and bounds too, but he’s not a world class striker, and I’m afraid at this point it’s going to take someone of that caliber who’s quicker and more athletic than Lesnar to find any long-term success on the feet.

Mir can win, but I suspect like the first time he’s going to have to take a hell of a beating to do it. My guess is, though, Brock doesn’t make a rookie mistake this time and finishes what he started back in February ‘08. Lesnar by TKO in Round 1

Mike Moffatt: Although Frank Mir was successful in derailing Brock Lesnar in their first matchup, he will be the underdog when the two step in to the cage on Saturday night. Very obviously the bigger and stronger fighter, Brock will need to ensure that Frank does not have the space to work his jiu-jitsu game on the ground. Mir’s striking seemed to improve greatly when he faced Minotauro and I believe that he will have the tools a true mixed martial artist needs to defeat Lesnar in their rematch and be able to call himself the undisputed champion. Mir by TKO in Round 2

Zak Woods: Brock Lesnar will prove to be too big and strong for Frank Mir. This time Lesnar will be more careful with his footwork and not get trapped in any leg locks. Lesnar by TKO in Round 2

Georges St. Pierre (-300) vs Thiago Alves (+220)

Steve Barry: In the sporting sense, this is the real main event of UFC 100, and not to mention the best fight on the card. It’s number one and number two in the welterweight division, and if not the toughest, it’s at least the most unique challenge GSP’s had in quite awhile.

Thiago Alves is a tremendous Muay Thai striker with outstanding takedown defense. But if he wants to win the fight, he’s going to have to bring both firing on all cylinders and then some. I’ve been saying it since day one. This fight will hinge on whether GSP can get Alves to the ground and keep him there. If he can’t, it’s anyone’s fight. Alves possesses the tools to knock GSP out on the feet, but GSP isn’t a slouch in the striking department either. He can stand with Alves, and even beat him there, but the smart move is to use his superior wrestling to dictate the pace of the fight and where it takes place. And I’m guessing that’s exactly what he does and he’ll be successful doing it.

First things first though, let’s just hope Thiago makes weight today. If he doesn’t, it would be a huge bummer and dark cloud on a huge event. GSP by Decision

Mike Moffatt: Alves is said to be GSP’s toughest task to date and I’m not sure that I can agree with that statement. Though the takedown defense of The Pitbull is a level above most in the welterweight division, there simply has not been a fighter who can stuff the takedowns of GSP. If GSP can take this fight to the ground, and I believe it is inevitable, he should use great movement to frustrate Thiago and stop the fight. GSP by TKO in Round 3

Zak Woods: This fight will start out slow as Alves will be looking to stop takedowns and St. Pierre will be feeling out Thiago on his feet. Things will pick up in rounds three and four as both fighters get in their groove. However St. Pierre will get the fight to the ground and submit Alves. Remember Thiago was submitted by Spencer Fisher a lightweight. St. Pierre by submission (rear-naked choke) in Round 4

Dan Henderson (-220) vs Michael Bisping (+175)

Steve Barry: Ahh, there was a time I was so sure there’s no way Michael Bisping could defeat Dan Henderson, then somewhere along the line I started having doubts. Not because of the hype surrounding Bisping or the reports about how well his training went. It’s more just a gut feeling.

The problem is whether they’ll admit or not, the UFC wants Michael Bisping to win this fight. And to a certain extent in the UK, they need him to win it. It’s their opportunity to put him in a title fight against of the greatest fighters in the world in his own backyard. And let’s face it, pretty much everything goes the UFC’s way these days. Not to mention, the last few times I felt that sure about a fight, Shogun lost to Forrest Griffin, Chuck got KTFO by Rashad, and Mir finished Nogueira. Sure, in reality, these things don’t actually matter, but they’re the reasons why I’ve become a little gun shy on this one.

Back to reality though, Bisping’s looked great at middleweight thus far, but he hasn’t fought anyone the caliber of Dan Henderson yet. Hendo’s not going to sit back and let Bisping point fight him like Leben did. He’s going to make a down and dirty fight and test Bisping’s mental and physical toughness. Bisping thinks he can out wrestle Dan Henderson? I don’t see it happening. I don’t see him knocking him out either, so honestly, I don’t see how Bisping wins.

Of course, I thought the same about Forrest, Rashad and Mir, so who knows. All that said though, I’m not turning back. I’m sticking with my original pick. Henderson by Decision

Mike Moffatt: Bisping certainly has a great record, but his opponents are mostly less than stellar performers. Henderson, on the other hand, has faced and defeated some of the best that the sport of mixed martial arts has to offer. Look for Henderson to knock Bisping down a few pegs when the two meet on Saturday night. Henderson by Unanimous Decision

Zak Woods: Dan Henderson should employ a barrage of single and double leg takedowns on his way to a victory. Henderson by Unanimous Decision

Yoshihiro Akiyama (-300) vs Alan Belcher (+220)

Steve Barry: Yoshihiro Akiyama is making his UFC debut against Alan Belcher, and it will be interesting to see how Akiyama reacts in an environment where he’s not the center of attention. There won’t be a ton of fans cheering him on or booing him. There will just be noise, and as we’ve seen from many of Japan’s stars, it’s an atmosphere that takes time getting used to.

And those intangibles are what may very well be the deciding factor in this fight. On paper, Akiyama should win. Belcher’s stand-up is his best weapon, but as he showed in the Kang fight, he can sneak a submission in as well. However, Akiyama is the better all-around fighter who’s proven he’s a legitimate threat on both the feet and the ground, plus he has his judo to put Belcher on the ground if he needs him there.

I’m reluctant to take Akiyama, but besides the guillotine he used to submit Kang, I just wasn’t impressed by Belcher’s last outing enough to pick him here. Akiyama by Decision

Mike Moffatt: Akiyama comes in with a lot to prove in this fight and it should be interesting to see if the Octagon jitters affect him at UFC 100. Though Belcher is certainly not the cream of the crop, he does possess enough tools to give Akiyama a few problems when the two lock horns. I think he has enough to pull it off. Belcher by Split Decision

Zak Woods: A lot of questions surroud Akiyama and the UFC is certainly rooting for him to win. Belcher seems to win fights he isn’t suppose with the infamous Octo-jitters, Akiyama’s long lay-off and the questions surrounding his heart I think Belcher pulls the upset. Belcher by TKO in Round 3

Jon Fitch (-500) vs Paulo Thiago (+350)

Steve Barry: I don’t believe in lucky punches per se, but the punch Paulo Thiago landed that put Josh Koscheck out was about as close as it gets. He was clearly taking a beating in that fight, and I don’t expect much different here. Fitch is still one of the world’s top welterweights and Paulo won’t have the element of surprise on his side this time. There’s just not any good reason to believe Fitch won’t secure a victory here. Fitch by TKO in Round 1

Mike Moffatt: Let’s be honest, Thiago was losing to Koscheck before Josh made a foolish mistake. In my opinion, Fitch is a better fighter than his training counterpart and I don’t think he will have any trouble with Paulo Thiago. The Brazillian may have bitten off a bit more than he can chew this early in his UFC career. Fitch by KO in Round 2

Zak Woods: Jon Fitch vs. Paulo Thiago: Fitch won’t be cocky but will pick Thiago apart on his feet before taking this fight to the mat to ground out a victory. Fitch via Unanimous Decision

Stephan Bonnar (-350) vs Mark Coleman (+250)

Steve Barry: I’m expecting to see a much better Mark Coleman than we saw in January now that he’s gone through a real training camp, and I’d love to see him get that one last shining moment of glory, but I just don’t see him beating the much younger Stephan Bonnar. Bonnar by Decision

Mike Moffatt: Bonnar by TKO in Round 1

Zak Woods: Bonnar will plan on taking this fight the distance to attack Coleman’s cardio. Mark should be fighting at heavyweight anyways but with a weight cut and fighting for fifteen minutes will wear down the 44 year old and Bonnar knows it. Bonnar via Unanimous Decision

Jim Miller (-200) vs Mac Danzig (+160)

Steve Barry: Miller by TKO in Round 2

Mike Moffatt: Danzig by Unanimous Decision

Zak Woods: Miller by Unanimous Decision

Jon Jones (-450) vs Jake O’Brien (+325)

Steve Barry: Jones by TKO in Round 2

Mike Moffatt: Jones by Unanimous Decision

Zak Woods: O’Brien will make this a wrestling match early on but then in the second round Jones will finally break the trend and knock Jake out. Jones by TKO in Round 2

Dong Hyun Kim () vs TJ Grant ()

Steve Barry: Kim by Decision

Mike Moffatt: Grant by TKO in Round 3

Zak Woods: Kim is too valuable a commodity to risk losing on the undercard. Kim via Split Decision

CB Dollaway () vs Tom Lawlor ()

Steve Barry: Dollaway by TKO in Round 1

Mike Moffatt: No pick

Zak Woods:  Not a big fan of Dollaway. Lawlor via please win

Shannon Gugherty () vs Matt Grice ()

Steve Barry: Gugherty by Decision

Mike Moffatt: Gugerty by Unanimous Decision

Zak Woods: Gugerty by Unanimous Decision
