Your picks look good!
Might I say that this card is pretty weak when it comes to celebreties, but still Im pretty sure the fights will be very interesting.
UFC 95 didnt look that awesome but was really a greater event then UFC 94 witch was overhyped, specially considering BJ´s performance.
Lets hope this event will be just as surprising right...

Looks like the UFC is doing what they do best as of lately and that is to put together great events. Matt Hughes (No. 10 WW) vs. Matt Serra Yushin Okami (No. 2 MW) vs. Dan Miller Sean Sherk (No. 6 LW) vs. Frankie Edgar James Irvin vs. Drew McFedries Every single fight could easily be a main fight draw  So much to look forward to. Can hardly wait another month

They will need to bring on these kind of fightcards to compensate for the little boring mainevents in last ufcs, even though personally I didnt find them boring, a lot of people seem to do so... I do agree this is a wicked card and I cant wait either

Latest news is:
Houston Alexander latest victim of UFC 98 injury bug, scratched from May 23 event with broken hand
By: Jesse Holland
Free-falling light heavyweight Houston Alexander has been scratched from his fight against Andre Gusmao at UFC 98 from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada, on May 23 because of a broken hand suffered during training.
The UFC confirmed the injury earlier today and is expected to name his replacement shortly.
This is the third bout within the past four days to undergo a change in competitors. Late last week, James Irvin was replaced by Xavier Foupa-Pokam against Drew McFedries after tearing his knee and postponing his middleweight debut.
Later that day, Chael Sonnen was tapped to replace an injured Yushin Okami opposite Dan Miller after “Thunder,” like “The Sandman,” did serious damage to his knee.
Frank Mir, Quinton Jackson and Josh Koscheck were all attached to this card at one point as well — before injuries gave them the boot.
“The Assassin” now has the honor of joining that illustrious fraternity.
Alexander (8-4) was relatively unknown to the masses until he burst onto the scene with two destructive performances inside the Octagon, taking out top contender Keith Jardine in his debut back at UFC 71: “Liddell vs. Jackson” in May 2007 and then crumbling Alessio Sakara at UFC 75: “Champion vs. Champion” less than four months later.
The Nebraskan, however, quickly returned to Earth — practically crash landing with three straight losses to Thiago Silva at UFC 78, James Irvin Fight Night 13 and Eric Schafer at Fight Night 15.
UFC President Dana White indicated before his most recent loss to Schafer that Alexander needed a win or would risk having to take fights in smaller organizations and win his way back into the Octagon for another opportunity to shine.
It appeared that the charismatic father of six would get at least once more chance to prove he belongs with the top mixed martial arts promotion in the world — until this latest setback that could keep him out of action for several months.
Stay tuned.
UFC 98 will feature (we hope) the light heavyweight title fight between Rashad Evans and undefeated challenger Lyoto Machida. Also on the May 23 card, former UFC welterweight champions Matt Hughes and Matt Serra will finally settle their eternal grudge match.

More sad news:
After three-straight wins in the UFC, Miller was set to face top 185-pound contender Yushin Okami at UFC 98 in May.
On Thursday, the Japanese product was forced to withdraw from the bout due to an injury suffered in training. While disappointed, don't expect to hear Miller complain.
The revolving door of fighters over the last 24 hours continues to turn as now it appears James Irvin, who was just forced out of his UFC 98 fight due to a knee injury, will get the chance to fight on Aug 29 instead against American Top Team fighter, Wilson Gouveia, at UFC 102.
Fight card looks like this at the moment:
Rashad Evans vs. Lyoto Machida (for light-heavyweight title, 5 rounds)
Matt Hughes vs. Matt Serra
Dan Miller vs. Chael Sonnen
Frank Edgar vs. Sean Sherk
Xavier Foupa-Pokam vs. Drew McFedries
Kyle Bradley vs. Phillipe Nover
Brock Larson vs. Chris Wilson
Pat Barry vs. Tim Hague
TBA vs. Andre Gusmao
Brandon Wolff vs. Yoshiyuki Yoshida
David Kaplan vs. George Roop
