Live from Las Vegas. Where I am covering the UFC 126.

It's a big weekend in Vegas. Not only is the UFC 126 going down at the Mandalay Bay Events Centre in Vegas. It is also SuperBowl 45. There are guys everywhere running around in Green Bay Packers and Pittsburgh Steelers jerseys everywhere you look. I have talked to some guys who are here for both the UFC and the Super Bowl and some guys are just here to make some bets on the football and watch the game in Vegas. The Super Bowl is one of the biggest days of betting in Vegas. Even though the Super Bowl has never been hosted in Vegas, it still draws thousands down to Vegas. This year it is being played in Texas, of course and the Packers are 2 points favoured. Being the first time Pittsburgh is playing in the Super Bowl as the underdog. I am going to bet the Steelers this year. Even though the Packers have been the hottest team in Football in last half of the season and the playoffs. I believe the Steelers big game experience will make the difference in the big game.

Over to the fights, Anderson Silva vs Viltor Belfort in the main event. They say if Silva wins he will likely fight St. Pierre next. Silva is the longest reining champion in UFC history. Both he and Belfort are Brazilian Jii-Jitsu Black Belts. This should be the an impressive fight and I predict Silva will win in a split decision. In the Forest Griffin and Rich Franklin fight (the only two guys fighting tonight without a tattoo) will have two Americans fighters trained in Brazlian Jiu-Jitsu but both like to stand toe to toe and brawl. I predict Griffin will win by tko. Then we have the treat watching the up and comer, Jon "Bones" Jones take on undefeated Ryan Bader. Bader can do damage. He is strong as a Bull but Jones has 10 inches of reach over Bader. But Bader will look to get inside and use his knockout power. There is great hype building with "Bones" Jones he is an up-and-comer MMA scene. He has a thrilling and imaginative fighting technique. He has fought 12 times and is 11-1. His one loss coming by disqualification for firing illegal straight down elbows. I predict "Bones" will come out with a tko victory.

I am off to the pool for a swim and then to the Casino for some action.

Enjoy the Big Weekend!
