* Jason McLean () vs. Kevin Roddy ()

This is do or die for Alrovski as far as I'm concerned. He has 3 losses in a row, this would mark his fourth. He has always been a favorite of mine and I hope he can turn it around, he SHOULD win this fight, but I'm not holding my breath. Fedor/Big Foot should be awesome. It will be very interesting to see how Fedor comes back after his first outright loss. I'm pretty confident he will come out of the gates strong. I see Fedor wanting to keep it standing and flurrying Silva with pin-point punches.
