Vitor Belfort vs Anderson Silva in UFC this Saturday. In my opinion this is the most interesting matchup that MMA has had in a long time.

Strikeforce is holding an 8 man tournament, the first round is split between two events, this is the first of those two:
Fedor vs Antonio Silva
Arlovski vs Kharitonov

Sergei Kharitonov and Andrei Arlovski is a dream fight for me dating back more than 5 years ago. This time both fighters are lower on the chain than they were back then, but at least it is happening. Fedor vs Antonio Silva, obviously two top fighters; Antonio is another one of those Lesnar-type fighters; skilled enough to use his massive size and athleticism to win fights, he was able to defeat Arlovski. He could cause some trouble for Fedor. Fedor has a chance to prove he is still one of the most dangerous fighters in the world.

While each fight has question marks, my prediction for winners are:
Belfort
Kharitonov
Fedor
