The “Pain Poll” is up at FiveOuncesOfPain.com. All seven writers, including yours truly, provide their picks for all of tonight’s fights.  Head over there to see everyone else’s picks.

Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira vs. Tim Sylvia (UFC HW Interim Title Match)

Mike MacLeod: So my boys in Vegas are telling me that many of the cabs and signs have pictures of Mir and Lesnar and no mention of Nog and Sylvia. It’s crazy that a title match takes a back set to a fighter’s UFC debut. Anyway, look for Nog to follow Randy Couture’s game plan to get Sylvia off his feet and then put him away. Nogueira via submission in the third round.

Frank Mir vs. Brock Lesnar

Mike MacLeod: What a perfect match up for those interested in Brock Lesnar. This fight should prove to be a prediction of his career. If he beats Mir, he can be considered a legit contender. If he loses, he goes back to the bottom of the ladder (and perhaps back to pro wrestling). Count me a rider on the Brock bandwagon. I look at him like a giant Sean Sherk. Unbelievable strength. Great conditioning. World class wrestling. Lesnar via TKO (GnP) in the second round.

Jeremy Horn vs. Nate Marquardt

Mike MacLeod: Horn is definitely on the back nine of his career as this will be his 101^st fight. That’s amazing to me. Marquardt, on the other hand, is still on the rise despite his loss to Silva. Look for Nate to finish this on the ground, either by submission or strikes. Marquardt wins in the second round.

Gleison Tibau vs. Tyson Griffin

Mike MacLeod: While “outclassed” may not be a fair assessment of Tibau, he shouldn’t prove to be too much of a problem for Griffin. If Griffin follows his game plan, he should end the fight early. Griffin via KO, round one.

Chris Lytle vs. Kyle Bradley

Mike MacLeod: Bradley makes his UFC debut and he looks to impress with his knockout power. Unfortunately for him, he’ll be defending submission attempts all night. He’ll defend all but one. Lytle via submission in the third.

Marvin Eastman vs. Terry Martin

Mike MacLeod: I AM a betting man and Martin’s heavy hands are sending Eastman to the mat. Martin via KO in the first round.

David Heath vs. Tim Boetsch

Mike MacLeod: I like Boetsch here, giving Heath his third consecutive loss. Boetsch via TKO in the third round.

Keita Nakamura vs. Rob Emerson

Mike MacLeod: I think that the two will simultaneously knock each other out in the second round, resulting in a no contest. Maybe not. Instead, it will go the distance with Emerson winning the decision.
