I am not going to crazy on this show but this is what I have:

Mike Swick -190 *** I have heard bad things about Burkmans training camp or lack thereof and I think Swick will push the pace here and get himself his first victory @ 170lbs.

Patrick Cote -145 ** McFedries is coming off having a horrible bout with the staph and will be in trouble with the heavy handed Cote here.

Jeremy Stephens +145 * Value Play. Evenly matched fight so I took the higher number. Should have played a little bit more but hindsight is 20/20.

Corey Hill -175 ** Hill from everything I have seen and heard is the next big thing. Veres isn't worth a shit so this will give you a good idea of where Hill stands in the future.

Good Luck to everyone.

I don't like guys like Stephens. He can dominate the whole fight but if the fight ever hits the ground he is in BIG trouble. If McFedries is 100% I give him a good shot of beating Cote. his stand up is more "dynamic" IMO. Swick and Hill should both win pretty easy I agree. Swick might have a tough first round but that's it IMO.

If McFedries were a 100% then I would give him a shot too but I dont think he is and the best way to beat Cote is on the ground and I don't think he has much of a ground game.

Stephens can be beat on the ground but I liked the number I got and will let it ride on his stand up because he can be dominating.

Joe Veres (Pictures) vs. Corey Hill
Round 1
Veres looked for a takedown unsuccessfully throughout the first 90 seconds. After several attempts, Veres was able to will Corey Hill to the canvas but could not hold him down. Hill stood up and delivered a brutal knee to the face that hurt Veres. Hill continued to strike on the feet until Veres scored another takedown, where he moved to the mount before being bucked off by Hill. 10-9 for Hill

Round 2
Veres looked exhausted to start the second round. Hill stuffed Veres' single-leg attempts and did a good job of keeping a proper striking distance. Hill then landed a straight right that buckled Veres' knees and sent him to the canvas, where he turtled up. Hill stood over him throwing punches until referee Herb Dean stepped in to save Veres at the 0:37 mark of round two.

Jeremy Stephens (Pictures) vs. Cole Miller (Pictures)
Round 1
The first minute saw both fighters circle the Octagon to size each other up. Stephens got off first with a right hand that landed flush. Miller dropped levels and went for a takedown, which was stuffed by Stephens. The fighters ended up clinched against the fencing, where Stephens was able to trip Miller to the canvas. Miller went for a heel hook and took the top position in side-control when Stephens escaped the technique. Miller, still in side-control, locked up what looked to be a fight-ending D'Arce choke, but the game Stephens narrowly escaped and took the top position in side-control before the horn sounded to end the opening stage. 10-9 for Miller.

Round 2
Stephens started the second round aggressively with a hard left footed kick to the ribs followed by a left hook to the chin that hurt Miller. The dazed fighter staggered to the fence, where Stephens picked him up and deposited him to the ground. Miller used his back to crawl up the fencing to his feet, where he went for a standing Kimura. Stephens slammed him hard to the ground to escape the hold. Miller then slapped on an inverted triangle-choke which transitioned into an armbar, but Stephens again slammed his way out of danger. Miller, stunned by the power impact of the slam, absorbed heavy punches and elbows, which opened a cut above his left eyebrow. Miller covered up while Stephens teed off with punches until referee Steve Mazzagatti stepped in at 4:44 of the second frame.

Nice work. I'm surprised Stephens was able to escape the sub attempts so easily. He almost went down but powered through. Nice win.

Yep good call. I expected him to get subbed if it was on the ground much.

If Siver can pull off the huge upset in the next fight, I'll be very happy.

I have no respect for Cote. I think he isn't that much. I would take the dog on this one. I have never seen the other guy fight and I will still take him.
