UFC 120 Preview and Predictions

UFC 117 Preview and Predictions
The coverage for UFC 117 has been dominated by Chael Sonnen and his lunacy, but the rest of the card is pretty stacked as well. There are two #1 contender fights (Fitch vs. Alves and Nelson vs. Dos Santos) as well as a pretty intriguing welterweight fight between Matt Hughes and Ricardo Almeida.
