Who is more of a lock.....Diaz, Kimbo, or Shields.....I'm having a feeling to put everything on Shields.

Shields is the bigger lock IMO. Pyle is good, but every time he steps up in opponent quality he goes down. Other than a win over Jon Fitch 5 years ago that is. Shields is awesome. The year of the upset could easily hit Jake, but I doubt it.
Diaz is far more skilled in almost all aspects than KJ Noons who is being thrown to the wolves. But the one thing Noons possesses is KO power with his boxing and kickboxing background. If they go toe to toe like Diaz likes to do, there's always that chance of taking one on the tip of the chin and going nighty-nighty. Might be worth a couple of points to make some good odds.
Cantrell is tailor made for Slice. He likes to go toe to toe and hopes for the KO. He's also winless in his last 4 fights, with the longest one lasting 1:33 and including 3 KOs. He does utilize guillotines and RNC so that's the danger for Slice. He he looks for the TD like against Mercer, he could get caught.

Yeah, that's my major complaint thus far with this EliteXC card. A ton of mismatches. But when your fighter roster is so thin at this point, I guess thats what happens.

I was going to bet on this but I didn't make it in time
