I'm not buying it, but I'll still be watching likely all of it. Even before Belfort was out, it should've been free. I get the feeling Franklin will knock Silva out in the first. If Silva can pull it off though, what a renaissance - Bisping, Le, and Franklin beaten in three of his last four fights, not bad at all. He's won two of his last three since dropping to 185. I'm excited for the fact that it's five rounds.

Russow is great, but he's outmatched here. He's known for his TKOs recently, but he's won the majority of his fights by submission. He's not going to submit Werdum. Werdum has better and more technical striking and should be able to pick Russow apart. If Russow can land a bomb and capitalize, more power to him...

No idea about any of the guys on the show.

... Just wait for it and laugh.

That's gold. Love both of these men.
