UFC 126
Anderson Silva vs. Vitor Belfort
Belfort appears to be the most dangerous opponent Silva has faced in the UFC thus far, and i know a lot of people are picking him to be the one. i'm guessing that, no, it isnt going to happen. Forrest Griffin vs. Rich Franklin sort of a tough fight to call. both are well rounded. Forrest is very durable, but i see this as a fight Franklin can finish, and Forrest, most likely, can't. Jake Ellenberger vs. Carlos Eduardo Rocha i dont know if i've ever seen Rocha, but he looks like a solid BJJ fighter. Ellenberger is gonna be bigger, and has more experience, and has beaten some tough opponents. Rocha seems solid though, for sure. Bones vs. Darth while putting together an impressive streak of wins, i think that Bader has been exposed in his recent fights as being very beatable - especially with his stand up. meanwhile Jones has consistently dominated his opponents. Miguel Torres vs. Antonio Banuelos i'll take Torres. |

I agree with every pick except Griffin/Franklin. I think Forrest takes that one.

I think Jones stand up will be overwhelming for Bader, and Bader gets dropped in the first round.

Bader is tough tho. If Bader's wrestling is better than Hammil's, (which I don't know whether or not it is) then Jones hasn't fought a guy with that level of wrestling.
From what I've seen Bader tends to fade as the fight goes on as well, but apart from the Bonnar fight where Bones took it on short notice and gassed a little bit, we haven't seen Bones go very far. There's a lot of unknown variables going in. Jones SHOULD dismantle the guy, but it's really hard to say what would happen if Bader puts Jones on his back and starts grinding him. |

My boy (bit of a stretch, he trains one of my best friends, I've met him like once) Paul Taylor is fighting also against Gabe Ruediger and since he's a bit of a dick, you should all support him

THere's almost like a 'legends' LHW division now, with Couture, Ortiz, Lil Nog, Franklin, Bonnar, and Griffin. You can add the folks that are on the slide like Machida (who is a loss away from being future endeavored), Caine, etc....and you've got a division outside of the championship level guys. So I think Bonnar has a ton of fights left, outside of Griffin. On your point though, mr wolf....Even if the get's taken down, the guy is a vicious bjj black belt. |

Just seen that this is going to be at Mandalay Bay, and by coincidence, i'm going to be in Las Vegas at the time. (staying at Luxor, right next door). I've never seen MMA live, so is UFC worth dropping the cash on?

I get to Vegas a week before the event, so I may take a trip to the box office to see what's avaliable. |

I know I'm going to 129, hell or highwater. I don't care if I get anyone to go, I'll fly there by myself if I have to.

Jones/Gusmao went 3 rounds as well. I believe Jones will win but I have only seen a few Bader fights.

Think I'll buy some beer and sit up late and watch this.
Looking forward to seeing Kid Yamamoto in the pre-lims as well! |

I'm so pumped for this! I feel like there's going to be an upset in either the Bader/Jones fight or the Silva/Belfort fight. Griffin/Franklin is a toss up to me + Kid Yamamoto. Crazy card.

Belfort said that Anderson Silva has been acting silly the weeks leading up to the fight because Anderson is scared. He says that Anderson puts on a mask to hide how he really feels. So I guess Anderson decided to actually put on a mask.

My girl hates UFC be she agreed to watch Jon Jones/Bader with me. Going to an orchastra with her later today though....an even trade off.
