im looking foward to hopefully seeing randy at 205 again, i believe he would be able to take the belt, besides the fact that he trains forrest and alot of other fighters in the division

[Sathias]

Well I doubt he will fight Forrest, so I guess it depends on the outcome of Evans vs Forrest at 92

[jmcev]

Read today that Machida vs T Silva has been confirmed for UFC 94 And Chuck might be fighting Anderson Silva at 95

I can see a Silva winning one of those bouts

+1. Chuck will get hammered, will be one of the Spiders usual first round decimations.

Machida will beat Thiago.

[Sathias]

How was Wandy in the crowd during 91, obviously referring to his upcoming fight with Rampage



clasic

[Mythor]

Machida will beat Thiago.

He may be victorious but I doubt he'll beat him.

Was cheering for Randy but figured Brock would win. Randy is definitely past his prime now, sadly. I think he'd still kick most anyone's butt in the heavyweight division but his time at the top is done.
Would have preferred seeing him lose to someone other than Lesnar though.

I LOL'ed at this as well and thought the exact same thing considering they dont like each other to much..

[Sathias]

I reckon Machida will finish him tbh... Machida is most dangerous when his opponent attacks and leaves himself wide open. Thaigo got knocked down several times during his last fight by Mendes who is nowhere near as good a striker as Machida. Unless Thaigo goes well against his natural instincts and doesn't really go after him, Machida should get a TKO in the 2nd or 3rd IMO.

Some good insight there, I have to say that I pretty much think the same.

[mentasm]

I so hope Rampage KTFOs wanderlei

[jmcev]

I don't, I'm a huge fan of Silva and his face made of scar tissue.

[Sathias]

It's one of those fights like Franklin vs Henderson where I want both of them to win

Not like the upcoming fight of Shogun vs Coleman 2, can't wait to see Shogun smash that geriatric roid rager

[redman1]

Regardless of who is fighting i will always go for the Chute Box guy as there super aggressive and go 100% from start to finish and try to finish the fight asap or be finished themselves.

Hoping Silva smashes Rampage by TKO by knees 'again' and Shogun destroys Coleman however he pleases (maybe armbar, as that would be fitting)

[mentasm]

Chute box used to be the bees knees in a ring and under pride rules. Not so crash hot these days in a cage and under unified MMA rules.

Jackson's game has rally improved since he fought Silva last. Silva's game has been pretty static for a few years now.

Should be an exciting fight, but I wouldn't expect it to be over in the first round or to end the same as the first 2 fights

(Also keeping in mind that Jackson was winning the first 2 fights for the majority of the fight until he gassed, and we know he can go 5 rounds now as seen against hendo)

[Sathias]

^ Good points mate... I just hope Rampage's head is back in the right place. Wasn't that the reason he gassed in the last fight? He was fasting?

[mentasm]

yeah, or so the story goes. Hopefully his new training camp will help him out with getting his head in the right place
