As UFC 92: The Ultimate 2008 rapidly approaches (Saturday, December 27, at the MGM Grand Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada), everyone’s placing their odds  and making their predictions of what’s going to go down there.

Two title bouts headline the event:

• Defending heavyweight champion Forrest Griffin and the undefeated Rashad Evans – Though fresh off a win against Quinton Jackson, Griffin still is thought to be the underdog against explosive Evans. This one might come down to a Judge’s decision, though.
• Antonio “Minotauro” Nogueira against Frank Mir – Both Ultimate Fighter coaches, Nogueira seems to be the favorite, expected to take down Mir by submission.

But that’s not the only fight to look out for. There’s also Quinton “Rampage” Jackson against Wanderlei “The Axe Murderer” Silva – Both heavy-hitters, someone’s bound to get K.O.’d in this smashdown. These two have met twice before, both in Silva’s favor. But predictions seem split on which one will come out on top this time.
