UFC 133 Full Fight Card and Picks

Evans Vs. Ortiz Another Upset?

Nick Meyer

Another MMA card in Philadelphia is set and ready to begin tonight on pay-per-view. The full fight card for UFC 133 is now set and the fights are fairly evenly-matched this time around.

The following is the card and some comments on some of the top fights:

Main Card

Rashad Evans vs Tito Ortiz- Ortiz is coming off a huge win over Ryan Bader. Was it a fluke? Is Bader simply too green? Can Ortiz beat the more explosive athlete at this stage of his career? Rashad is a smart fighter as well. The hope here is that it is not another draw but Evans is the pick.

Vitor Belfort vs Yoshihro Akiyama- Akiyama has been given some tough draws in the UFC so far. Hard not to go with Belfort in this one.

Dennis Hallman vs Brian Ebersole- Two tough fighters, and it would be an understatement to call them veterans. Go with Hallman in this one on your UFC 133 picks slate.

Jorge Rivera vs Constantinos Philippou- Rivera's power gives him an edge vs. replacement.

Rory MacDonald vs Mike Pyle- Pyle is an underrated grappler while MacDonald is a phenom...Pyle's experience wins out here.

Prelim Fights:

Matt Hamill vs Alexander Gustafsson

Chad Mendes vs Rani Yahya

Ivan Menjivar vs Nick Pace

Johny Hendricks vs Mike Pierce

Mike Brown vs Nam Phan

Rafael Natal vs Paul Bradley


The UFC 133 full card will be available by pay-per-view at 9 p.m. tonight live from Philly.
