Stacked card as you would expect. Im looking forward to the pearson fight & will be intoxicating throughout sat night period to stay awake (and probably miss the main fights). MAIN CARD (ESPN) Champ Anderson Silva vs. Yushin Okami (for middleweight title) - Silva Rd2 KO Forrest Griffin vs. Mauricio "Shogun" Rua - Depends which Rua turns up, Rua Rd1 TKO Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira vs. Brendan Schaub - Nog, Rd 2 Armbar Edson Barboza vs. Ross Pearson - Pearson UD Luiz Cane vs. Stanislav Nedkov - Cane Rd 3 RNC PRELIMINARY CARD (Spike TV) Spencer Fisher vs. Thiago Tavares - Fisher SD Dan Miller vs. Rousimar Palhares - Palhares Rd 3 Triangle PRELIMINARY CARD (Facebook) David Mitchell vs. Paulo Thiago - Thiago Raphael Assuncao vs. Johnny Eduard - Assuncao Erick Silva vs. Luis Ramos - Ramos Felipe Arantes vs. Yuri Alcantara - Arantes Yves Jabouin vs. Ian Loveland - Jabouin
Only one I would change is Nog Fight. I think he could finish Schaub with a cleveland steamer in rd 2
Agree with your picks badblood. The only dodgy one is the Nog fight. I hope to god he chokes Shaub out or snaps something to put him back in his place
I would say that big nog is gonna spark Shaub out VERY QUICKLY, i am going to be shocked if this fight goes more than 1 round, so 1st rnd tko big nog Ive got a bad feeling that Spider is gonna get bored in the Okami fight and start ****ing around like with the Maia fight, 5 rnd point win for spider Pearsons only hope is to try and get Barbosa into a street fight, if it hits the ground he is going to sleep, 2 rnd RNC barbosa Cain looked good until he was sparked by the brazilian who got done for a dodgy piss test ( obviously cant remember his name lol ) so I am gonna take a 2nd rnd TKO win for luis Also, did anybody read that the UFC and FOX in America have signed a deal to show 4 pay per view caliber events a year, plus some fight nights plus the new seasons of TUF after the spike deal runs out.
Yes i did read about that deal. Im not to clued up on US tv and all that but from what I hear this dwawfs all the other stuff that has ever happened in MMA - MASSIVE MASSIVE DEAL. I have been reding a bit about it and allot of opinions are that the PPV cards will still hold all big fights but the deal will be great for exposure & i beleive the $$ involved is huge. Will be good to get decent coverage of TUF from now on. Will we still just get all UFC on ESPN or is there a FOX channel on sky? I really want nog to win and would hate to see him get KO'd - Schaubs head could get even bigger. If schaub wins feed him to nelson for another great KO and belly rub!!
