-UFC 100 takes place on Saturday night in Las Vegas, Nev. The show is headlined by Brock Lesnar vs. Frank Mir for the UFC Hvt. Championship. It should be a great show and is expected to be the most watched pay-per-view event in UFC history. I'm picking Lesnar to avenge his only loss by grounding and pounding Mir, just as he was doing in their first fight before the referee stood them up. Lesnar wins via TKO in round three.

-WWE Smackdown is headlined by Rey Mysterio vs. Chris Jericho for the Intercontinental Title. It's a hot main event and it will be fun to see if they can deliver another strong match.
