UFC 150: Henderson vs. Edgar 2
Date: August 11, 2012
Time: 10pm ET/7pm PT
Location: Pepsi Center, Denver, Colorado
Broadcast: Pay-per-view, FX

Ben Henderson (16-2): -200
Frankie Edgar (14-2-1): +160

Not much has changed since the first fight – Henderson’s unorthodox striking power athleticism and size have been absolutely too much for the Lightweight Division. Edgar will be game but Henderson is just too good to be denied.

Pick: Benson Henderson -200

Donald Cerrone (18-4, 1 NC): -300
Melvin Guillard (30-10-2, 1 NC): +220

One thing that we are guaranteed – an exciting fight in the Lightweight Division. Many have this tabbed as Fight of the Night. Melvin Guillard bounced back in his last fight with a win over an inferior opponent – big deal. Guillard had lost two fights before that most recent unimpressive win. Donald Cerrone, Guillard’s former training partner is simply better in every aspect of MMA ahead of this fight. There is a possibility of Melvin landing one huge shot but it is more likely that Cerrone holds his own in the standup and once this fight hits the mat he will take over. Guillard must keep this fight standing to have absolutely any shot – Cerrone won’t let that happen.

Pick: Donald Cerrone -300

Yushin Okami (26-7): -600
Buddy Roberts (12-2): +400

Buddy Roberts was supposed to fight Chris Camozzi after an OK UFC debut. But now he steps in as an injury replacement for Rousimar Palhares. Poor Buddy Roberts. To say this is a huge step up in competition is an understatement. Okami totally dominates this fight – no doubt!

Pick: Yushin Okami -600

Ed Herman (20-8): +160
Jake Shields (27-6-1): -200

Jake Shields makes his Middleweight debut on Saturday after looking so-so at Welterweight – he lost twice last year to the elite of the division before winning his last match against Akiyama. His opponent is Ed Herman – 3-0 since returning from a recent injury. Saturday marks an enormous step up in competition for Herman. Both are great wrestlers but Shields is the far more seasoned, more dangerous fighter here. Shields has been in there with the best – that experience should carry him to victory on Saturday. [ad-3573245]

Pick: Jake Shields -200

Justin Lawrence (4-0): -120
Max Holloway (5-1): -110

Justin Lawrence winner of TUF 15 will look to keep his perfect record intact against Max Holloway. Holloway’s UFC experience includes a loss to the very tough Dustin Poirier. Lawrence may have decent all around skills but Holloway’s terrific boxing skills will be the difference in this one. The name of the game is offense and in this match Holloway has the better game.

Pick: Max Holloway -110
