Welcome 6th Rounders, to my picks and predictions for WEC 44. “Brown vs. Aldo” will air Wednesday night via Versus (in the US) beginning at 9:30 p.m. EST. This card features an explosive main event between powerful champ Mike Brown and devastating Brazilian Jose Aldo. A solid line-up calls for solid picks, right? Whether you agree or disagree, leave your thoughts by commenting.

As a lead writer here, there’s a certain “responsibility” for making quality peeks into the future. That being said, anything can (and does) happen in mixed martial arts. With an overall 160-99 record thus far since our launch, let’s get into how I, Gray D., see the action inside the cage going down from Las Vegas.
