UFC, etc.

Only one fighter missed weight. Anyone wanna guess who? Here's a hint: His name rhymes with Thiago Alves. 171.5 lbs. He was given two hours to drop the 1/2 pound and on his second attempt he was still 171.5 lbs. So now Thiago has to give up 20% of his purse.

 

[kobayashi93]

Tsh. I wonder what his excuse is this time.

 

[NosferatuBill36]

I believe he would. Easily. MMA fans who payed to see that clowning around were pretty pissed. Even Silva's fanbase. If he does that again, who is going to buy a card he's on? Being p4p has its job security perks, but the business comes down to money, and if he can't draw then that's an issue. That on top of UFC looking like a laughing stock

It doesn't matter. Dana will place Silva on the undercard before he cuts him.

Again, giving the competition a chance to land the best fighter in the world would be extremely stupid from a business perspective.

Undercard > cutting

But IMO, Silva will finish this fight(even though part of me hopes he doesn't, just because I like drama).

I love those ads. They're getting me pumped for the show's return.

Google "Kenny Powers gets signed by K-swiss" for a really funny **** vid. I'm not about to link due to the language and what not.

 

[ArmoredFoe]

cant wait for tonight. Looking forward to some good fights.

 

[azurepred]

I will go with A.Silva TKO in 1st, Alves with decision, and JDS with KO in 1st

yea but nowadays he walks around at about 200. He is a meaty guy.

 

[NosferatuBill36]

I see Alves all the time. The guy is cool as all hell, but he is a big time partier. Big. Time.

Still, he always makes it a point to take time out for his fans, and is really just a cool dude. But if you were to tell me that the rematch between Fitch and Alves goes to a decision, then I'd say there is no way in hell Alves is winning it. Not with his cardio, and not against a great wrestler like Fitch.

My picks:

Silva
Fitch
Nelson
Almeida
Guida

 

[devlinboy]

i heard he parties like a beast..He said in the past that he likes to eat more than anything. I could see him being Big Pun status when he retires.

I like the guy too. Met him once as well. He was cool as hell. But no way can he handle Fitch for 15 mins. I agree with you.

Agreed. And yeah, while I don't see Fitch knocking him out, I see Fitch..."Fitching" his way to a unanimous decision victory.

I also think Dos Anjos is going to beat Guida, but I placed a bet on Guida because, as I said before, he's one of my favorite fighters.

I think it will also be fight of the night.

KO of the night will go to Roy Nelson.

I hope.

 

[devlinboy]

I like big country and 2 saints..sucks one has to lose. I want Roy to win too.
lol "fitching" will def. happen. Unless a knee gets him on a takedown, i see him smothering Alves.

Guida says he changed his style up a little. I am interested to see what he changed.

I love A. Silva, but he has got me on the fence with his last few fights.
I still think he should win and i actually think it might be real easy (i dont know why)

I got:
Silva-- tko (maybe due to cuts) 2nd round
Nelson--- but my gut says JDS ko's him
Fitch - UD
Dos Anjos--RNC
Almeida--Standing arm triangle lol 2nd round

or the same as you lol..

Getting ready to leave in about an hour. Places in this town get so crowded on fight night that I have to get there 2-3 hours early just to get a seat within viewing distance.

I read that too. I hope he hasn't changed it too much lol.

I've been a huge Guida fan since the beginning, and for someone not very good at finishing fights, he always puts on a great show.

C'mon, GUIDA!!!

 

[devlinboy]

guida fights are always awesome. I love how the crowd reacts to him. I just wish he had a little more power in his hands. maybe he improved his striking. With Fitch/hughes/guida/sonnen on the card we are going to see a lot of smothering lol
