Diaz vs. Daley- This should prove to be a very entertaining fight. Diaz certainly has more ways to win. His jiu-jitsu is very effective and he's good at using his length standing. Daley has significant power in his hands and great technique but this is a very tough match-up for him as he still has a very rudimentary ground game. In the end I think Diaz will be competitive standing using his jab and peppering technique but will eventually take Daley down and submit him.

Melendez vs. Kawajiri- Kawajiri looked impressive in his last fight with repeated takedowns and effective ground and pound winning a clear unanimous decision. Even with the impressive performance the momentum is clearly with Melendez who is on a 4 fight win streak and holds a victory over Kawajiri. Melendez has the advantage standing and I believe has the ability to keep the fight standing. He eventually catches Kawajiri in the championship round and finishes with ground and pound.

Mousasi vs. Jardine- Jardine has done Zuffa/Strikeforce a huge favor by taking this fight on short notice. Keith is trying to work his way back to the big leagues after being dropped by the UFC following a 5 fight losing streak. Jardine is possibly the least consistent fighter in MMA, he has had some great performances, but I don't think we will be seeing that here. Mousasi has the advantage in all areas, and will decide where the fight takes place. With Jardines very questionable chin I expect to see Mousasi come out aggressive trying to finish the fight early.
Mousasi Round 1 KO
Aoki vs. Beerbohm- Aoki enters this fight on a 3 fight win streak while Beerbohm dropped his last fight. This is definitely Aoki's fight to lose he will come out as he always does looking to take the fight to the ground as soon as possible, which shouldn't be hard as he is comfortable fighting off his back and won't mind if Beerbohm shoots for a takedown. Aoki will aggressively attack subs until he finds a limb to take home with him.
