UFC 110 has a stacked fight card which I expect to be absolutely amazing, including prelims. I gave my point of view on the main events in the Roundtables the last two days, but here are my thoughts on some of the other key fights.
Brian Foster is coming off of his destruction of Brock Larson and I would really like to see this fight between him and Chris Lytle. (Lytle has won three straight Fight of the Night Honors.) This is going to be a great fight as well. It's Chris Lytles fight to lose.
Stephan Bonnar takes on Krzysztof Soszynski. Bonnar is fighting after two straight losses to Mark Coleman and Jon Jones. (If Bonnar does not put everything he has in this fight, he could be just another ultimate fighter cut off the roster.) Soszynski is coming off of his first loss in two years to Brandon Vera. I expect Soszynski to take this fight, but Bonnar will fight with everything to keep his job.
C.B. Dollaway makes his return to the Octagon to welcome back Goran Reljic. Reljic is coming off an injury and this is his debut fight at Middleweight. Dollaway is TUF Season 7 finalists and has gone 3-2 inside the UFC. All those fights are just on the prelims. (I wish Spike was showing prelims this weekend.)
Keith Jardine fights the winner of TUF season 8 Ryan Bader. Bader is undefeated in the Octagon and Keith Jardine has gone 6-5 while in the UFC and fought some very steep competition. I think that Bader will use his strength and wrestling to control the fight. Although I see the fight going to the judges, I think that Bader will get the victory.
Joe Stevenson fights Australian native George Sotiropoulos. Both fighters are great in jiu-jitsu, so I would think that they are planning on testing each other on there stand-up. Stevenson has the factor strictly on experience with over 40 fights on his record and he has faced stronger opponents than George has. George has a record of 11-2, he has avenged one of those losses and the other loss is to Shinya Aoki (by DQ though), whom he has not been able to fight again. I think that this fight is going to be really close and I can see it going either way. Joe has the edge and I am going to go with him, but I would not be surprised if the hometown boy pulled a win.

"There's still a large contingent of people, that they just want to see these guys almost die, or the other guy almost die and come back, and sometimes fights are like that. Certainly they are. But sometimes you get technical masterpieces too, and to hate a beautiful, technical fight - you're not really a fight fan...
Diaz has a granite chin, possesses perhaps the best recovery in the sport, his pace and conditioning are second to none and he sets records with the volume of his punches almost every time he steps into the cage. Nick Diaz is simply designed to fight the way he fights, and not many other fighters are...
"There was a lot of poison going on around there and I'm really disappointed because we had a good thing going. It was a good thing and I think people's egos got in the way. Well, not people just Javier, his ego got in the way, and too many cameras in the gym and him trying to build himself up and his brand, his AKA brand...
