Welcome 6th Rounders, to my picks and predictions for UFC 118. “Edgar vs. Penn 2″ will air Saturday night via pay-per-view (prelims on Spike). This card features a main event title rematch between 155′ers BJ Penn and Frankie Edgar. A solid line-up calls for solid picks, right? Whether you agree or disagree, leave your thoughts by commenting.

As lead writer here, seems there’s a certain responsibility for making quality peeks into the future. That being said, anything can (and does) happen in mixed martial arts.
