Between my Baltimoresun.com and SI.com picks over the last few weeks, I'm now 6-1 since I've started keeping track of my picks (which I will be doing henceforth). Still, please don't use them when you visit your bookie. They are for recreational purposes only.

Nick Diaz vs. KJ Noons (EliteXC lightweight title fight)

Diaz is the bigger fighter and has more all-around skills. Diaz can hang with Noons standing up and will school him on the ground.

Prediction: Diaz

Jake Shields vs. Mike Pyle (Welterweight)

This is an intriguing matchup. Both fighters are submission experts trained in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Pyle struggled in the IFL but seems to have found a home in EliteXC. Shields has been very impressive in his last two fights. Both train with top-notch camps -- Shields with Cesar Gracie (along with Diaz) and Pyle with Xtreme Couture. But, someone's got to win and Shields has won his last four fights by stoppage.

Prediction: Shields

Kimbo Slice vs. Bo Cantrell (Heavyweight)

Slice is an Internet street-fighting legend. He's new to MMA but he has been training for about two years. He's now teamed up with Bas Rutten and Shawn Tompkins. He won his debut -- an exhibition match against Ray Mercer -- by bull-rushing Mercer, using Muay Thai knees, mounting him, and finally winning by guillotine choke. Cantrell has lost his last four fights by stoppage in the first round. Will the cobwebs be cleared for this fight or will he be sliced?

Prediction: Slice

Antonio Silva vs. Jonathan Wiezorek (Super heavyweight)

This is another tough call. Silva looked impressive against "Cabbage" Correira in his EliteXC debut. He has quick feet and impressive skills for someone of his size. Wiezorek's notable win came against Dan Severn in 2001. His only loss came against Ben Rothwell in 2004. Silva likes to strike and Wiezorek favors the ground game and most his wins have come by submission. In the end, Silva will be too big for Wiezorek.

Prediction: Silva
