Rashad Evans becomes the UFC light heavyweight champion and with Quinton's destruction of Wanderlei Silva he must be on the short list to have another shot at the LHW title.

Frank Mir looked great against Minotauro and will have another go at UFC heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar (Mir defeated Lesnar the last time they met).

UFC 90 is next weekend featuring the big bout between Patrick Cote and Anderson Silva. Is Cote's chin enough to withstand Silva's power, speed and accuracy? Will Cote catch Silva with a big shot? Who knows, but one thing is for sure, UFC Results will have the results of the bouts here.

Chris Leben vs Michael Bisping
This is a tough one, boxer vs puncher so to speak. I'd give Leben the edge off his back, but I doubt that the fight will ever hit the mat. Michael Bisping has faster hands and more accurate striking but doesn't hit as hard as Chris. Chris has an amazing chin, but the only reason that we know Leben has a good chin is that he gets hit a lot...we haven't really seen Bispings chin as he's good at avoiding getting hit. Cardio favours Bisping as well, especially at 185. Either way, I expect the winner of this fight to get a title shot in the next 12 months.

Prediction : Michael Bisping

Keith Jardine vs Brandon Vera
Which Keith Jardine is going to show up, the devestating striker with the awkward movement or the guy who gets caught with a big punch and doesn't recover. Which Brandon Vera is going to show up, the devestating striker with a good ground game who overwhelms opponents, or the energy sapped weight cut Vera.

I personally think that Vera has all the advantages in this fight, after all one of Jardine's greatest weapons is his low kicks...but remember folks that Brandon Vera is a Rob Kaman student...and if anyone knows leg kicks it's Rob Kaman.

Prediction : Brandon Vera

Rameau Sokoudjou Vs. Luiz Cane
Cane has the experience and both of these guys despite their mastery of Judo and BJJ respectively like to knock guys out. I expect big shots to be thrown, but Cane will eventually try to take it to the mat, if Cane gets this to the ground I expect him to submit Sokoudjou...if not, I expect Sokoudjou to KO Cane.

Prediction : Luiz Cane

Paul Taylor Vs. Chris Lytle
When doing predictions I like to just throw a prediction out without justification...This one is it. Chris Lytle.

Prediction : Chris Lytle

MAIN CARD (TELEVISED)

• Randy Couture vs. Brock Lesnar (UFC heavyweight title)
  
• Kenny Florian vs. Joe Stevenson
  
• Nick Catone vs. Amir Sadollah
  
• Gabriel Gonzaga vs. Josh Hendricks
  
• Demian Maia vs. Nate Quarry

PRELIMINARY CARD (UN-TELEVISED)

• Dustin Hazelett vs. Tamdan McCrory
  
• Jorge Gurgel vs. Aaron Riley
  
• Jeremy Stephens vs. Rafael dos Anjos
  
• Mark Bocek vs. Alvin Robinson
  
• Matthew Riddle vs. Ryan Thomas

• Anderson Silva VS. Patrick Cote
  
• Goran Reljic vs. Thales Leites
  
• Junior “CIGANO” DOS Santos vs. Fabricio Werdum
  
• Tyson Griffin vs. Sean Sherk
  
• Gray Maynard vs. Rich Clementi
  
• Shannon Gugerty vs. Spencer Fisher
  
• Matt Horwich vs. Dan Miller
  
• Marcus Aurelio vs. Hermes Franca
  
• Pete Sell vs. Josh Burkman

When I initially looked at this card I was a little disappointed, but as I typed it out I realized that there are a number of interesting matchups on the card. Certainly the title bout between Cote and Silva is interesting given Cote's punching power and Silva's dominance. Throw in that Cote has never been KO'd and we have a recipe for a good fight.

Tyson Griffin vs Sean Sherk should tell us whether the very top of the lightweight division is a close race or if BJ Penn and Sean Sherk are heads and shoulders above the rest.

October 25th come back here and discuss the fights on the UFC 90 card.
