New Years fights post

Well here it is, the biggest few days of MMA every year. Shit I remember making this post last year hoping Ortiz was getting KTFO.
Anyway let's just do it all right here instead of breaking it up by organization or something. I wanna know who you're picking, and what fight you think is going to be the fight of the night (or the fight of the event at least).
UFC 79: DECEMBER 29
Main Card Bouts (subject to change): -Georges St. Pierre vs. Matt Hughes -Chuck Liddell vs. Wanderlei Silva This could really be a make or break for both of them, both getting older and this could rule either one out of a title shot for a long time, possibly forcing a retirement -Rameau Thierry Sokoudjou vs. Lyoto Machida (You can't bet against Sokoudjou, what a fucking monster) -Melvin Guillard vs. Rich Clementi -Eddie Sanchez vs. Soa Palalei Preliminary Bouts (subject to change): -Dean Lister vs. Jordan Radev -Manny Gamburyan vs. Nate Mohr -James Irvin vs. Luis Cane -Roan Carneiro vs. Tony DeSouza -Mark Bocek vs. Doug Evans (Gotta throw some Alaskan pride in here)
[b[IFL GRAND PRIX FINALS
-IFL Heavyweight Grand Prix Finals: Antoine Jaoude vs. Roy Nelson -IFL Middleweight Grand Prix Finals: Benji Radach vs. Matt Horwich -IFL Welterweight Grand Prix Finals: Delson Heleno vs. Jay Hieron (This has potential to be a good fight if Hieron shows up with something to prove, but I think Heleno is just a little too good for him) -IFL Lightweight Title Match: Chris Horodecki vs. Ryan Schultz (But oh how I'd love to see that polish punk get KTFO) -IFL Featherweight Title Match: Wagnney Fabiano vs. L.C. Davis Non-Title Bouts: -Rory Markham vs. Brett Cooper -Tim Kennedy vs. Elias Rivera -Marcello Salazar vs. Alex Cook
YARENNOKA: DECEMBER 31 -Fedor Emelianenko vs. Hong Man Choi (Choi by anaconda choke in the first round ) -Hayato "Mach" Sakurai vs. Hidehiko Hasegawa -Gilbert Melendez vs. Mitsuhiro Ishida (This has potential to be the fight of the week now that Aoki vs JZ is no more) -Tatsuya Kawajiri vs. Luiz Azeredo -Kazuo Misaki vs. Yoshihiro Akiyama (I just don't like Misaki sometimes) -Murilo Bustamante vs. Makoto Takimoto
K-1 HERO'S PREMIUM DYNAMITE: DECEMBER 31 Hero's MMA Rules: -Norifumi "Kid" Yamamoto vs. Rani Yahya -Sergei Kharitonov vs. Siala "Mighty Mo" Siliga -Joachim Hansen vs. Kazuyuki Miyata (Go Hellboy!) -Hideo Tokoro vs. Kiyoshi Tamura -Kazushi Sakuraba vs. Masakatsu Funaki (Although they should just let him retire and stop giving him everything he wants) -Bob Sapp vs. Bobby Ologun (You lose to one freak, you'll probably lose to another) -Melvin Manhoef vs. Yosuke Nishijima -Ikuhisa Minowa vs. Wagner da Conceicao Martins (aka Zulu) (Just because I'm sick of Minowa doing these fights and I hope Zulu falls on him and kills him)

Machida is elusive as a motherfucker, but I think it'll happen. It's hard to be elusive against a bigger, stronger, expert Judoka.

My pics
GSP over Hughes via decision (rubber matches can be boring)
Wanderlei over Liddell (Silva looked like his old self in weigh ins, but that doesn't mean anything)
Machida over Soukoudjou (i'd luv to watch another thierry KO, but i think Machida has the edge with experience)
Guillard and Paleilei
Yarrenoka
Fedor over Choi via Zuluzinho
Mach over Hasegawa
Ishida over Melendez (my upset pick of the night)
Kawajiri over Azeredo
Akiyama over Misaki
Busta over boring-ass Takimoto

Perfect rematch candidate
Extremely disappointing 3rd round for both fighters.
Wand well i don't know wtf was up with him in the 3rd it's like he forgot what he was doing in the 2nd.
Chuck running away and watching the clock and take down at end to avoid flurry.
They should just have Silva vs liddel 2&3 as fast as possible before TUF ends.

Those picks are who I want to win, not who I'm betting on. Go be ignorant somewhere else.
GSP was awesome, and I was disappointed by the judges in the Silva fight.

but gotta give liddell his props, he made good of some exchanges there.

Stop being such a cry baby bro. If you were just posting who you wanted to win, you're the only person I've ever seen do that. Everyone always picks who they think is going to win with the caveat that they would rather see other person win.
Your own post says that these are your "picks" not your favorites. Be a fucking man and stop trying to back pedal now that all but one of your picks lost.
I made my post in good humor. I didn't even see the thread until yesterday and even then I don't think I've ever posted my picks. In truth, I would probably made the same picks as you except for Sanchez. If one thing has proven certain about the fights now it's that they are unpredictable.
I don't think there is any shame in calling a fight wrong. Getting all butt hurt and defensive because I called you on them however is a different matter.

I was shocked to see Liddell shoot. Silva probably had round 2 but I don't think he did enough to win the fight. The scoring may have been off but Chuck definitely won that fight.
