UFC 126 predictions

My UFC 126 predictions: 

Silva via decision - I think a lot of people are picking with heart and not their heads on this one.  Vitor *was* a great standup fighter, and forced a lot of people to change around their standup game.  But he left in pretty much his prime, and even though he looked good when he returned, he is not the same fighter.  As long as Silva avoids an early TKO and plays a smart game, he will get the decision.

Franklin via decision - A tough call, but despite looking good Griffin hasn't found in awhile, and he has always had a harder time with a southpaw.

Jones via TKO - As long as Jones keeps it standing, and keeps confusing Bader, he should be able to get a TKO.

Ellenberger via TKO - What can I say?  Ellenberger is just a higher caliper fighter, plain and simple.

Torres via TKO - An easy call, Torres will be able to dominate on the ground and standing up.

Cerrone via decision - This fight is tough to call, while Kelly would win in an all out brawl, I don't see the fight going that way.

Mendes via split decision - Almost an impossible call, almost anything can happen in this fight.  Omigwa has been on a roll lately, but his streak has to be ending soon.
