Whether it's an homage to the Strikeforce Heavyweight Grand Prix or not, the all-heavyweight main card for UFC 146 is upon us. The card has been rearranged due to injuries. Literally every single fight on the main card has been changed, but the end result is still a quite enjoyable card with some decent star power and high stakes. Not to mention - and this isn't getting much press - the FX and Facebook preliminary portions of the card are rather excellent.
Can Frank Mir win another heavyweight title? Will Velasquez get back to his winning ways after his last setback? What's really left for Roy Nelson at age 35?
I'll attempt to answer these questions with these predictions about UFC 146.
