Pearson vs Fisher should be good, not too pumped about the rest. Really sucks that Condit got hurt.

Siver vs Sotripolous should be fun.

BJ wins round 1 big, Fitch survives and wins the next 2 in a super boring style. I know, that's a really bold prediction.

Jon Fitch vs. B.J. Penn - I am really hoping that BJ puts up a good fight here, but I doubt he will. This is a classic "BJ not interested" type of fight. BJ will be into it until the first takedown, then he'll likely give up. Fitch knows he's only going 3 rounds, and he's knows that GSP already showed the easiest way to beat BJ is by out-wrestling him.
Typical Fitch fight, which for me isn't a bad thing, but there will be more boo's after this one.

Michael Bisping vs. Jorge Rivera - I am a Bisping slappie (as most of you know), so I'm rooting for him here. This is a dangerous fight for him because I sort of feel like it's a lose-lose situation. If he beats Rivera, big deal, he's old, but if he loses, it's a big hit for him. Thankfully, I don't expect that. Bisping has some of the best technical stand-up skills in the UFC, and I think he should coast here.

Dennis Siver vs. George Sotiropoulos - Siver always puts on a good fight, and this should be a nice test for Sotir. I kind of like the way Sotir goes about it in the cage, so I'd like to see him win here, and then get a co-main event type fight in the future, but Siver is going to make him earn it.

Chris Lytle vs. Brian Ebersole - Sucks that Condit is out. I'm a big Condit fan, and have said that I think he could beat GSP, but not making this fight is going to make the road that much tougher. Lytle should win, as he is a very good fighter, not elite, but still very good.

Chris Camozzi vs. Kyle Noke - I wonder if Noke is really any good, I tend to think he isn't, but this should be a decent test.

Spencer Fisher vs. Ross Pearson - Fight of the Night. Pearson is one of my favorite guys to watch, and I hope he KO's Fisher.

BJ looked to have a limp at the weigh ins. He may have kept his jeans on to hide a brace or wrap.

Anyone know of any streams?

Fitch is going to wwigh 20 lbs more than BJ o fight night. Barring a flash kncokout ala the Hughes fight I see BJ getting beaten like he did against GSP.
