Me, personally, I'm going for Chael Sonnen. I hate Anderson Silva so much.

You want me to watch ALL those videos? f**k that s**t yo.

You already know my opinion.

 

[ostrichattacker]

Im voting for Sonnen!!! Im tired of Silva's cocky ass. Poor sportsman ship

 

[hardcore97]

i say silva beats sonnen ass. we havent seen silva fight serious in a while an with all the s**t sonnen has been talking i think silva is going walk all over him

 

[oc_civic]

I would like to see Silva lose for once.. he is an AMAZING fighter.. but just waiting for his day to come... I will be watching tomorrow night that's for sure!

 

[bizoneoeh]

Silva is going to f**k his wold up and I hope he does it fast!

 

[hardcore97]

im curious to see the nelson dos santos fight as well. time to see how legit nelson is. i dont see him as that legit but this fight will decide that for me

 

[bizoneoeh]

^^ yeah... I'd like to see that fight as well. I just think Neslon is a tough guy and fighting comes natural to him.

The Sonnen-Silva fight i believe has the makings for a monster fight. Styles make fights and these two are a great match IMO.

Sonnen's wrestling and control are TOP notch, he has an aggressive style that has him moving forward.

Silva is much smoother and prefers to counter punch (ie. why he looked horrible vs Damean Maia(sp?). Also he is rumored to be spectacular on the ground and off his back. Very interested to see if the wrestler can dominate from top or not.

Nelson vs DJS...Shouldn't be a long fight @ all. I expect Nelson to win. I believe he is much more well rounded. He has the KO power and I really don't think DJS has the ground game to match.

My predictions: Sonnen TKO RD 3
Nelson TKO RD 1 (maybe even a straight up KO)

 

[hardcore97]

i just dont see sonnen being nearly as fast as silva which means its going to be hard to get take him down. i think dos santos is going to beat nelson easily but thats just me. nelson wont be able to stand with dos santos if hes going to win hes going its going to be on the ground. dos santos hasnt really been tested on the ground much and nelsons chin hasnt been tested too much by a heavy striker like dos santos. he has KO power in both his punches and kicks. this is a great card though will def be watching this if at all possible

I agree with your Guida pick. I met him once, a real cool guy!!
Hughes-I dunno if he will KO him..I see a decision there.
Fitch KO'ing Alves, that's a bold choice. I can see a TKO from ground and pound, don't think he will dominate the stand up. That fight depends heavily on whether it stays standing or not.


Do you think Silva is gunna b***h up again?? IF they actually fight this time, i really don't see it goin all 5 rds...

 

[bizoneoeh]
