Official UFC Thread - Part 3

[CrypticOne]

HAHA! That's crazy.

 

[Paroxysm]

Brutal! I hate deep cuts that pour blood like that.

Thiago Silva vs Shogun Rua

Hector Lombard vs Brian Stann

Dana must have it in for Silva,lol. I like Silva I like the way he fights, but I gotta go with Rua on this one. To be honest I haven't seen many of Lombards fights so I guess I'm going with Stann.

 

[DoomsdayApex]

Rua, unless he continues to fight like Wanderlei.

There's no way Stann wins this. Even if he finds a way to neutralize Lombard's blitz, he won't be able to stop Hector's Olympic-caliber Judo. Sonnen easily took Stann down. I sense Lombard will do the same if it comes down to it.

Awesome Fan Made - JDS vs Mir Promo

Badass

I think JDS knocks Mir out cold. He couldn't handle the power of Carwin or even Lesnar's hands & I'd say JDS looks like he hits harder than both.

I don't see Mir being able to take JDS down if Velasquez couldn't, so he'll be forced to stand. Mir has decent boxing, but on a power level the fact is JDS hits far harder. Over in the first I think.

Thiago Silva vs Shogun Rua

Hector Lombard vs Brian Stann

Ooohhh can't wait to see Lombard/Stann, theres no way I can see that going the distance.

Rua/Silva is an interesting one. Very tricky one to call, I like both guys as well & don't really want to see either guy lose. Silva showed alot of ring rust in his return bout & while Rua/Henderson was an epic brawl.. it wasn't a good performance from him even in defeat. His cardio looked horrific.

UFC's twitter page just announced

Machida vs Bader For UFC On FOX 4

 

[Paroxysm]

I'll take Machida.

 

[E-Man]

I guess Rashad will fight Gustafsson since neither guy has anything lined up. Maybe Lil Nog since you don't want to have Gufstasson possibly lose when he's really all that's left if Jones beats Hendo. I think Shogun beats Thiago, Stann beats Lombard, and Machida beats Bader.

 

[CrypticOne]

Yeah, Shogun takes Thiago, easy.

I can't wait to see that Stann/Lombard fight. That should be a war.

I see Machida outpointing Bader or knocking him out.

I didn't know the FOX card was this weekend. Awesome.

Gustafsson imo is likely to take on lil nog since that was original opponent and it's a big name winnable fight

and i think ufc wants him to get a title shot since he is new blood

 

[Paroxysm]

I think Shogun beats Thiago, Stann beats Lombard, and Machida beats Bader.

Great minds think alike....for once. lol

Brock got cheated! He'd take Overeem now. He put HHH in a kimura last night and broke his arm.

I gotta agree with you on that one. Reem without the juice would get busted up.

Poor HHH. lol

 

[E-Man]

I kinda wish that they waited until after UFC 146 to bust Overeem. I really wanted to see the striking exchanges between JDS and Overeem. Too bad that's gone now unless Overeem does the smart thing and blames it on the white man. The race card is bound to work in MMA since no one has used it yet. lol

[E-Man]

"Oh my GOD! That son of a ***** broke HHH's arm! Damn him!"

/JR

Just once in my life I want to see JR commentate an MMA match. He'd be so much better than Goldy and Mauro.

That would be gold, "Good God almighty! Good God almighty! That killed him! As God as my witness, he is broken in half!"

 

[Paroxysm]

Hellfire and brimstone!!!!

 

[CrypticOne]

Picks for tonight?

I have Diaz, Hendricks, Belcher, and Barry winning.

 

[Paroxysm]

I have Hendricks, Palhares, Beltran, and Miller.

 

[DoomsdayApex]

Koscheck, Palhares, Diaz and Barry.

 

[DoomsdayApex]

Lavar reminds me of The Rock.

 

[DoomsdayApex]

WTF was Palhares thinking?! Why did he leave his guard so freakin' open?
