I'll say Silva, Griffin and Bones. Everything in me says Griffin will get KTFO but I picked Rua/Rampage over him and he won against both. So I'll pick him over Franklin but won't be surprised if Franklin wins. Same for all three TBH. I could definitely see Belfort and Bader both winning.
 
Yeah i hear what your saying man. I want Vitor to win, but it wouldnt surprise me if Anderson pulls off the win. Bader...well I dont see him winning, but again I think thats any mans fight as well. Even though I do see Jones as the more skilled fighter. As for Forest yeah due to his size, I could see him pulling off something crazy as well and getting the win.
 
I'm taking Ace to beat Forest, I just think the layoff will throw Forest off and fighting a southpaw will make that even harder on him. Oh and i'm pulling for Vitor also.
 
Looking forward to tonight,im actually nervous :lol

Wow,Silva is still getting booed...I figure it's still because of his "Dancing Show" a few fights back and when they saw how Sonnen dominated Silva they want to see him get bullied and fall.

Easy to join the bandwagon,and fans booing Silva clearly have no idea.
 
Not exactly. I think the fans are booing Silva because they KNOW he can speak English, yet chooses to have his fat **** of a manager continue to translate his speech for him...despite the fact that Soares never translates it correctly. Intentional on his part, of course.

Also, his "dancing show" has been taking place quite frequently - not just a few fights back.

I'm actually going to give the fans some credit this time, and say that they are booing for, IMO, legitimate reasons. Silva has this smugness about him, that as grown increasingly tiresome in the last two years. After his second defeat of Franklin, Silva's humble attitude has sort of left the proverbial building, and he's become this cocky monster that people are getting tired of.

He's also made a few "nationalist statements" about Brazil that I also think Americans may be bothered by. But again, I'm just speaking from my point of view.

So...

1. Dancing with the Stars in 3 of his last 5 fights
2. No speaka English, even though I really can, and just lie about
3. Ed Soares
4. Hat turned sideways, looking like a fool with my belt on the ground
5. Mask of a Thousand Faces
6. Brazil this, Brazil that, etc.

Yeah, I can SEE how some people are growing tired of his antics.


Me? I'm taking Silva by TKO.

: )
 
You know,Machida and Shogun is also "Cocky Monsters" because they can speak English perfectly right?They get nothing but booes:slap

Fans booing Silva has nothing to do with not speaking english,nor is he cocky...The Stuff he does is just plain innocent fun but if you hate him i am not surprised fans point out such pointless things that describes many other fighters in the ufc as well.

The Booes started in his Demian Maia fight where he clearly got tired or something,he wouldn't dance around for no reason at all.

About his "nationalist statements" ,are you sure you're not talking about Silva's response to Sonnen when he compared the Noguira BJJ Belts Happy Meal Toys?

Based on this post, I'll just assume you have telepathy. No other way I can explain how you're able to speak for so many people.
:rotfl:rotfl
 
Machida gets Boo'ed because he's not very exciting to the average fan. Shogun has NEVER been boo'ed save for his fight against Griffin which was hist first fight in the UFC. Even against Liddell, Shogun was cheered. Nowhere near as loud as Chuck, but he definitely wasn't boo'ed.

Silva is not cocky? LMAO. Ok.


And I'm glad you know that Silva "clearly got tired" in the Maia fight and that's why he was dancing. Thanks for letting the world know. lol

Can you also tell me what was going on in Tank Abbott's head the night he fought Scott Ferrozzo? Also, I would like to hear what Nate Diaz was thinking the night he was fighting against Joe Stevenson. Can you be specific though? I want to hear what they were thinking during the 2nd round.

I await your reply.
 
Dude,i was beeing sarcastic with my first sentence :lol

Im not trying to point out that Silva got tired in that fight,just that people shouldn't hold that against him for being what people see him as this "Dancer",there is a reason he got that passive that's all i was saying.

In all honesty, much of my hate for Silva does stem from his manager who I think should die a thousand deaths.

Florian even called out his translating duties at the weigh-ins.
 
I'm thinking of downloading the card and watching it before the superbowl. Save $50. Awesome card though. Hard to resists.

People know that!? How? That interview Silva did with Rogan on the last SpikeTV card was F'n brutal to watch. By no means does Anderson Silva speak fluent or even decent English. Not by any stretch of the imagination. How many times do you have to hear "happy for my fan, my friend. Thank you my friend" to get that? :lol:lol:lol

Speaking in front of a big crowd is nerve racking enough but when you add not speaking in your native language yeah I can see why a lot of fighters prefer translators. Do I have a problem with someone not speaking perfect and fluent English? No. Maybe not you either. But the thing is, maybe Anderson Silva (or others) don't feel comfortable doing so.
 
Belfort
Franklin
Jones

Yeah im excited to see Kid back in action. I hope he brings it.

i concur, but all i really care about is seeing Baders undefeated streak end. Hopefully Shogun and Rashad fight sooner than later so the winner can get a title shot :pray:
 
You think the winner will fight for the belt? I think the winner of Rampage vs. T.Silva (Especially if it's Rampage) will get the next shot.

no, i dont, just hoping. i think the winner of Bader vs Jones will fight the winner of Ramp vs. Silva, and then the winner of that will get the next shot. I would hate to see 2 of my fav fighters fight each other though, but i guess it would be a win win for me :dunno
 
Did you see the weigh ins, that was pretty hilarious and awesome at the same time. This should be an awesome fight.

Jon Jones all day baby!!!
