I like Jon Fitch quite a bit. He's boring to watch but a hometown guy who went to Purdue. He has great wrestling pedigree and is tough as nails. His fight against Alves should be neck and neck. Also like:
Jon Jones (he is the fucking goods & will wreak havoc on his division)
Chris Lytle (local guy from Indy, best chin in the biz)
Matt Serra (just a stand up guy w/ a good personality, hate to see him fight Lytle)
Carwin (was hoping he'd ice Brock)
Josh Koscheck (I like his swagger for some reason. He's a cocky little fuck but usually backs it up)
