Stemm Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 I wanna know who you guys are betting on for UFC 108. Evans Vs. Silva seems like a really even match up but I'm goin with Silva. Losing to Machida was a good thing for him. Made him hungrier. He's probably been training non stop since then. I like the way he handled Jardine at UFC 102.

Harbinger Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 (edited) I wanna know who you guys are betting on for UFC 108. Evans Vs. Silva seems like a really even match up but I'm goin with Silva. Losing to Machida was a good thing for him. Made him hungrier. He's probably been training non stop since then. I like the way he handled Jardine at UFC 102. Silva is too prone to being knocked out and Evans only needs one half assed haphazard punch to win the fight. I love Silva and I hate Evans. But I think Evans can likely take this. Edit: LOL Wrong Silva. This Actually could be a really good fight. I don't think I could make a real call on this either.

Intoewsables Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 ^Agreed. Not sure how good Silva's ground game is, but IIRC, it's not very good(although I could be wrong). If Rashad goes back to his wrestling and puts Silva on his back, Thiago doesn't have much of a chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both are really well rounded Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hordichuk Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 Rashad/Thiago is shaping up to be a terrific fight if both stay healthy. I'm giving the edge to Rashad because I'm a fan, but I think Thiago has more power. The longer the fight goes, the advantage goes to Rashad because he's shown the ability to end fights late. I'm going to say Rashad knocks him out in the second. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Everything Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 the man that will destroy lesner and fedor. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gsaDZyTk48Y http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZiestvrumYM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shoots&scores Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 That dude's in talks to fight Alex Emelianenko. Being able to pull an airplane won't help him at all in that fight. Talk about diving into the deep end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Danger Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 Haha, you're joking right? What that fight showed is that Lesnar would have taken him down easily and Fedor would have landed a heavy punch and knocked him out the instant he threw that first kick and dropped his hands. Yet another MMA fan impressed by a guy's size instead of his skill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet another MMA fan impressed by a guy's size instead of his skill. No doubt. That guy is huge, but, brute force will only take you so far. And just by looking at him, I would doubt his cardio is where it needs to be to dance with those other two--just a hunch, though. Show me a clip of him working the ground game from either top position, or off of his back, and I may believe he has a chance against Mustafa Al Turk. Mentioning him in the same sentance as Fedor is ridiculous... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smith80 Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 (edited) Couldn't find anything about Mir Vs. Carwin Sounds like it's in the works for UFC 111 in NJ. http://www.sherdog.c...r-UFC-111-21589 That is shaping into a good card. GSP vs Hardy (maybe the biggest mis-matched title-fight since Penn-Sanchez ). Also, sounds like Thiago Alves vs. Ricardo Almeida And, as Lil Nog has been forced to withdraw from UFC 109 against Brandon Vera, it looks as if Vera may be fighting Jon "Bones" Jones instead. I'd love to see this. I think Bones would manhandle Vera. http://www.examiner....-as-replacement Thoughts???

smith80 Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 BJ completely dominated Sancheese. Sancheese might have hit him 4 times in 4.5 rounds. I know it's a few days after the event, but, I thought I'd post this link from FightMetric which breaks down the stats. http://www.fightmetric.com/fights/Penn-Sanchez.html Penn outstruck Sanchez 150-8! Yes, that's right, 150-8. Sanchez was 0-27 on t.d attempts. I knew it was one-sided but that's ridiculous. Hopefully the UFC can sign Shinya Aoki, he's the next best 155'er. Although I doubt he'd be able to take Penn down , and BJ would eat him alive on the feet... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smith80 Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 Hopefully Bones doesn't handle him as badly as he handled Hamill. Ha ha. So true. Have you heard that he is trying to get that decision overturned? Personally, I thought that that should have been a no contest, as it was still in the first round. Here's a link: http://www.sherdog.com/news/news/Jones-Files-Formal-Appeal-Over-Hamill-DQ-21568 Interesteing points they make about Hamill being deaf. Of course, I didn't really think too much of it when he was laying on his back spewing blood from his face, but, it says Mazagatti asks him "can you continue" and, of course, Hamill doesn't answer so he calls the fight. Another poor call by Mazzagatti? And, as I went to search for this, I found that the Jones-Vera match will take place indeed, but, not on the UFC 109 bill. Looks like a Fight Night instead. http://www.sherdog.com/news/news/Vera-Jones-Agreed-for-Versus-Event-21597 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Electro Rock Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 Wow!!! Haha I can't believe that cut closed up so fast! However it's going to take a lot of la$er work to fade it out and he's always going to have to watch that spot doesn't get too touched up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Bob Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 The province this morning reported that they are planning an event in Vancouver for June, and they plan to hold it at BC Place. BC Place is going to be under construction in June, so I wonder if they mean GM Place. IMHO BC Place is WAY too big. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
