UT#1

he didnt call them ignorant he said lack of understanding and i totally agree with silva about how he approached leites

baseball when you said a boxer could learn to stop a takedown  easier than a MMA guy could learn to box its a lot more to making the boxing MMA transition .. clinches dont get pulled apart you have to watch their feet along with their hands.. and one of the biggest things ive noticed at some smaller shows is that the size of the gloves make a HUGE difference its a lot harder to block punches with 4 ounce gloves than 8 or 12s not to mention taking punches with them

Wanderlei KOs bisping round one ...hes going to push the pace and yeh he swings wild but hes got a pretty good chin and i dont think bisping has the quickness or the power of the ppl that have beat the axe murderer recently.....and as far as main event material i will always pay to see wanderlei fight especially when the ppl hes losing to have mostly all been top contenders he always makes it a fight. has he ever been in a boring fight?

anyone who doubts that there are cougars in the area hasnt lived here long. although very rare they are here seen a few, and reports are that leopards and jaguars ranges are starting to climb back up into texas.... The "black panther" is a genetic mutation that occurs when 2 normal  color cats mate from my understanding they are almost always male and sterile could be wrong but thats how i understood it

got my signaled crossed my bad baseball but still sanchez isnt ready for florian i dont think. i think florian will handle BJ august 8 and then you might see BJ once more in the UFC(maybe against sanchez) it just doesnt look like his heart is in it anymore.....

i think Demian Maia should be much higher than 10th

i dont think diego is ready for florian who will beat bj.. but he didnt almost get beat by guida

yeh great couple of months coming up cant wait for the griffin silva fight and really ready to finally see amir fight

on this card you think on this card bonnar and coleman will be the fight of the night??? maybe the KO of the night... the only way coleman wins this is if bonnar trips and breaks his leg getting into the cage... did you watch the coleman shogun fight?? coleman a few months older looked horrible at the weigh in

Mir

Alves

Henderson

Fitch

akiyama

and bonnar will destroy coleman

sims fought twice and was DQd both times idk why they would bring him back.... and i heard they werent going to do elimination fights to start the show this series?

i agree with all your picks except i think valasquez will pull it out because kongo is fighting on 2 weeks notice, and i think spencer fisher will pull out a SD... cant wait for the marcus davis dan hardy fight should be fireworks... also a great undercard

where was the athletic commission report that said he had 2 broke hands?? Broke hands arent that uncommon but speaking from personal expirience after that 1st bit of adrenaline wears off its like getting stabbed everytime you punch...also where the break occurs has a lot to do with it

the same wes sims that stomped in mirs face back in ufc meltdown?

faber took a big risk in the 1st fight and got caught... also the broke rib happened right b4 that he didnt have to deal with it for 4 rounds and even if he did a broke rib would be a lil easier to deal with in a fight than 2 hrt hands

yeh i hope pulver can get back and have a couple more fights before he retires great fighter and person.... wish urijah wouldnt have broken his hand that would have been an even greater fight

should make for an interesting out of cage season also i dont see kimbo backing down if someone confronts him in the house lol

Im pretty sure im not the 1st to use the phrase winning until caught. But my point was Forrest won the 1st 2 rounds he just tried to engage in the 3rd and got caught....and as far as what he brings Silvas never fought anyone like forrest except maybe cote, forrest has tremendous heart and his leg kicks are devastating forrest coming off a loss is going to be training hard and silva will be looking to erase that last performance so should be guarenteed fireworks i see it goin to decision.. more excited for this card than for 100

Florians a chump?? critter you should never be allowed to comment on an MMA bored again. Kenflo took out Joe Stevenson as did BJ but faster and made it look easier and also beat a verry tough roger huerta

yep Rampage turns down title shot against machida for a chance at rashad definately wont be a touching of the gloves or a boring moment in this one

mir and lesnar both hold the interim belt they unify it at UFC 100.... and as far as fedor goes if you watched the arlovski fight AA was winning the fight until he tried the flying knee and got caught in air by a big right....and venom im sure if you ask anyone including fedor fighting any of those 5 HWs wouldnt be a joke.. also you mention him fighting CroCop look what happened to crocop in the UFC maybe not the best reference

machida is on his way to the top of the PFP list, how many fights in the UFC never losing a round? in the most stacked division of the biggest ORG in the world says a lot.. GSP is fixin to be in for a huge upset against Alves... then hopefully a farewell fight for hughes against alves

griffin by UD... griffin lost to jardine and tito early in his career. and when did griffin ever get gassed in his past 2 fights venom?? he got caught against rashad up until that point he was winning the fight even rashad admitted that.. forrest is like a larger and stronger version of patrick cote who silva had a lot of trouble with until cotes acl snapped...if you ask me the new LHW champ is soon to be the #1 PFP best

im suprised they are letting the stefan struve kid fight again in the UFC his last performance could have been the worst in UFC history 6ft 11 and didnt even land a punch
