yeah, i think alot of people will be telling me that. I don't really know why, but I just don't like Anderson Silva. It is hard for me to pick him, even though I really try to look at things objectively. Hopefully Rich Franklin will fair better the second time around.
Nice commentary but I'd present Fedor as a top 5 submission guy as of late. He's remarkably agile on the ground for a big man. Somehow I think Tito will win a VERY controversial decision although I agree with your analysis of their relative skillsets. I DO agree with your Marquart pick, and I can see Hendo moving down to take the middleweight belt (since Paulo seems doomed to be buried by the Zuffa puppetmasters).
I think we will see paulo in the UFC. I think they are keeping him down in the WEC right now(which his first fight is for the WEC MW strap) to get his recognition up among the casual amerscan MMA fan. after three fights, the UFC will be his new home. Fedor as a top 5 sub guy? I don't think so, although he has become very adept at his sub game, throughout all weight classes he just isn't there yet, he maybe the second best heavyweight though(but i put him third behind Nog and Barnett). Later bro
Unfortunately Drew Fickett will not compete (injury).
Actually i think that Tito is more experienced fighter than Rashad and he has been in the main scene over and over again. Also Tito was training with Couture and it`s a big advantage. Couture can make Tito`s gameplan to win a decision IMO.
Great predictions. I also think Marquardt will outpound Silva and win the decision.
Sherk is a monster. See All Access with him. What a condition.
Where does Tito have an advantage? Rashad is a better striker, a better wrestler, he is more athletic, and he is also the stronger of the two(in my opinion). Plus Tito over the last few years the only fights in which tito looked impressive were the Shamrock fights, not exactly a top flight opponent. Chuck beat him, and Tito barely won two split decisions over griffin and belfort. he has done nothing over the last few years to show me he can beat rashad.
The problem with Rashad, being a better wrestler, as Vladimir Matyushenko (Pictures) found out, is that it's not necessarily going to help you against the strength of Ortiz, who can muscle his way into a clinch and sacrifice finesse for pure horsepower. Evans has been able to outwrestle all of his opponents to date, but unless he can score standing, he's likely to drop a decision.
The thing that really intrigues me about Rashad is his evolution as a fighter. He improves so much from fight to fight it really is incredible. This is obviously his biggest test to date but I believe that with all the improvement he always makes, and the fact that he will be training with a far better team(Team punishment is rubbish, AKA is top 5) it leads me to believe Rashad will win. But just to let you know, it would not shock me if Tito won. later bro
All the weight is on Rashad's shoulders now because last time I looked Greg Jackson's camp was 0-9. I think all of the weight is on Rashad's shoulders to try and win a match for them.
Anyways bro, we will see it saturday. Is going to be a great fight. Take care man.
Yeah, AKA has come across some hard times of late, but they are still a great camp...I am just looking forward to the fight because it should be really exciting, fight of the night potential, in my opinion. Later Bro, enjoy the PPV and have a great weekend.
Nate's style doesn't appeal to many people. Anderson is the more "exciting" fighter. And although Nate isn't the most exciting fighter in the world, he is much like Paolo Filho in the fact that he physically dominates his opponents. Silva used to fight at 170 and I think that is very telling in who will have the strength advantage. If Nate can't get Silva to the ground this will be a very short fight, but if he can it could go the distance(which would favor Nate)
I don't think it will either, I think Marquardt will end it late in the fight. Stylistically this is a bad matchup for Anderson. Doesn't mean he cant(or won't) win but I just feel that we saw some of the holes in his game against a dehydrated Travis Lutter, I look for Nate to exploit them. later bro.
Silva has never fought into the late rounds in any of his fights, he has had a few that have gone to a decision after three rounds, but to my knowledge he has never gone into the 20-25 minute area in a fight. Five rounds is a lot different than three.
I agree with you Bro, these guys are complete douchebags. Instead of actually fighting, they sit in front of their computers and try to give out their "expert" opinions. BTW, this guys lips are bigger than my truck tires :)
Never said I was an "expert". I do train, although I am not going to take it anywhere I do actually do it, which is much different than 99% of the people out there, especially the ones that flame me. Never heard that thing about my lips, i'll see what i can do about that.
I agree with you bro. Anyone who thinks Nate Marquardt is boring, or any ground fighter for that matter, doesn't know anything about the skill that it takes to do what they do. Bottom line, I want the best fighter as my champ.
That is the rumor, but nothing has been announced yet. He was offered a Title shot at LW so I hope that keeps him down there for a little while. He would have to get in line if he wanted a Title shot at WW. Either way, can't wait to see him fight again.
As always great videos, great predictions. I am really looking foward to this event, the card is really stacked , the main card are all good fights that are sure to entertain, hopefully we will get to see some of the undercard fights, i owuld liek to see the gurgel vs seravia fight and the lytle vs fickett fight. So again nice video, keep them coming.
I don't see bocek winning his fight, he so far in his MMA career has not fight anybody who was real challenge, 3 out of his four opponents have been guys with negetive records, so i think edgar has this in the bag, bocek is going to be overwhelmed and i see it stopping late first round early second by gullotine choke.
Im really looking foward to the hearing vs norguira fight. Its awesome to so big nog coming to the UFC. I am also looking foward to seeing the main event. I don't see this going to a decision, if silva wants to win, i say he should take him down early and work his vicous ground and pound, i think silvas more dangerous on the ground so i think it would be in nnates best interest to keep it standing but then again nate is a very good wrestler. So i don't know who to pick for this fight.
So is Roan Carniero and look what happened to him. I see the same thing happening, Edgar will rock him with punches and finish him with a sub or a tko.
Jucao basically played the roll of the brazilian mma fighter in 2005. Fitch is also a Camarillo brown belt.
You have good reasoning behind your pick. as anything can happen if a fighter gets his block rocked.
My prediction is Bocek closes the distance, gets on his hips... slams him in the centre of the cage. edgar trys to hit that switch he always goes for and ends up getting his back taken then rnc'd.
Dude, that is a dope prediction. I personally like it when people get more specific as to what they think is going to happen. Not just who wins....But how they will win, what round, and in some cases what will set it up. Later bro.
You know a lot about MMA .. but what can you tell us about giving hand jobs for sport and recreation?
