I’m a big fan of Dunham, he looked good all throughout 2010 even in his loss to Sean Sherk. Guilard is a wild card though and uncontrollably inconsistent. Guilard has the power to knock anyone out, but I think Dunham is too controlled of a fighter and can make Melvin pay. Mitrione against Hague is a classic throwdown of heavyweights. Despite his lack of experience, Mitrione never seems to get knocked out and I think he continues to impress. Hominick against Roop shouldn’t be close; Hominick is the much better fighter hands down. Barry is a knockout fighter who’s exciting while Beltran is a grinder. Normally I pick grinders because big strikers make mistakes, but I think Barry steps up his game and catches him towards the end. Miller and Winman is a fight I’m unsure of. I haven’t seen either fight so your guess is as good as mine.
