nice vitor/anderson breakdown...who the hell knows what will really happen in this one, right? anderson will be hard as hell to ko though...but, if anyone could do it, vitors the one-

[hattrickhockey17]

@33pantera Its going to be a great fight, and its a lot closer than people are making it out to be IMO. Neither has faced a guy like the other "recently".

[Eigh8Thechosenone]

That sir! Is some great predicting... MUCH RESPECT!

[hattrickhockey17]

@Eigh8Thechosenone Thanks for the support as always man!

[doliveij]

"Forest like to out strike you? In and out of pockets?"

Are you talking about Forest Whitaker?

And who are these people saying Forrest has KO power?

We disagree with a LOT on this card but that's what makes it so interesting.

ps. WORST MUSIC EVER!

[hattrickhockey17]

@doliveij lol, I wish Forrest Whitaker was on this card, that would be hella funny.

Well some people believe he does. I think anyone can be knocked out, but I don't believe he

is that guy. We do, but hey if everyone agreed then MMA would be boring lol. Yeah, you don't

have to tell me twice. We had this discussion already.

bad intro song

[hattrickhockey17]

@cazz3000 lol that is what everyone is saying. I will rethink that choice next time lol.

SILVAA

[bosco1115]

bro your brain is working just fine! I agree with your pics!

[MrCarde504]

I think u did a great job. but, i disagree with your outcome of the 2 main fights. 1st, I think Griffin will use the same stragy he used against Rampage. A lot of kicks to the legs of Rich n will win by UD. I also think the same rule applies for the main event. I see a boxing match simular to Pacquiao vs Mayweather. Vitor has speed n KO advantage but The Spider has the reach n better boxing skills. Anderson keeps him at the end of the jab n counters when he attacks. Anderson by UD.

[MrJkean]

Best picks I've heard so far. Excellent points and couldnt have agreed more about Forrest and Rich. You really hit the nail on the head with the title match. I feel the same way about Vitor vs. Sylva. Cant wait til fight time !!! GO VITOR!!!!!!!!!!!

[MrJkean]

good job man really did your homework on the fighters.

[kanguesso]

@hattrickhockey17

i like your picks dude, especially the main event even though i disagree with you on the outcome of the fight but i certainly command you for putting some thought into your predictions and put the match ups into a contextual form that is respectable. Mike tyson once said, "People talk about knock power and knock out ability, but it is the accuracy of that power and precision of the strike that really makes a difference". I couldn't think of a better way to describe Silva.

[RazeHell12]

@Eizenstahl Sonnen tested positive for roids, Henderson lost to Jake Shields who IMO is over rated and will get owned by GSP anyway, Itll be hard for AS to even break dance away lol, Vitor is way to fast. Anderson Silva hasnt faught anyone of that speed, he made it look easy against griffin cuz griffin is a newb lol.

[jagc3ve]

I could see Anderson outpointing him in the first rounds with his reach, kicks and Vitor might get frustrated and try to swarm Silva, it might work but it's also a fast way to get TKO'd by the spider. You never know how a fight is going to play out, but hopefully we'll get to see a stand up battle. Great preview of the event as usual.

[jagc3ve]

''Neither guy has really fought a striker like the other'' Nice way to describe this bout and I have to say I agree, IMO Anderson is gonna have to be on point with his footwork and head movement in this one because one slip, one mistake and it could be over for him, as for Vitor I think we're going to see if he's really more patient these days or he's going to do like his old days when he tried to rush his opponents in the early stances of the bouts.
