So for the past few weeks, Bleacher Report MMA has been full of articles with writers making their picks and predictions for this incredibly stacked card.

But let's be honest here. How knows more about fighting—the B/R MMA writers or the people who get paid to do the butt kicking?

This afternoon, I took some time to hit up some fighters, and some other personalities within the sport, on Twitter to get their predictions on the St. Pierre vs. Shields and Aldo vs. Hominick title fights.
