I'll be watching, hopefully Rashad can finally prove Tito's name should be no where in the top 10 (maybe not even 15) LHW's. I don't see any real upsets happening, unless Rashad counts as one.

Nate could submit Anderson, especially if he survives to later rounds, but I still pick Silva. Nog will not lose to Herring, even at Heath's best a few years back he was only good enough to make their matches entertaining. I see Sherk pulling out the decision over Hermes pretty easily. A few of Franca's wild punches could connect but the only way I see him doing much damage to Sherk is if he can get Sherk mounted. Diego won't do anything to Grugel standing so Jorge will win. Bonnar will KO Nickels. Lytle will handle Gilliam by the third. Ken Flo will handle Alvin (lots of other people seem to be high on Alvin though). I don't really know Bocek, but Edgar is very good so he probably won't have much of a problem.

Just watched Sherk's training. It was pretty impressive.

Couple of thoughts on my part....

This is a do or die fight for Tito. He loses this, he's not a main eventer anymore. I think Tito wins this fight, even though I will definitely be rooting for Evans.

I think Sherk will win, but the odds on Hermes are way too long. If I was betting, I'd put some on him.

I think you are getting very good value on Silva at -145.

If Gonzaga didn't knock out Cro Cop, he would be at least a 4-1 underdog. I'll take Randy.

GSP is going to tear Kos up.

Rampage and Henderson is a coin flip to me, maybe even leaning in Henderson's favor. I'll take him with the better odds but I'll be pulling for Rampage.

Tank isn't much of a skilled fighter, but he's no Ron Mercer. I'll gladly take those odds against Kimbo.

 

[newbs24]

Franca will win. Marquardt might make it a boring fight. I hate watching that roid head fight. Tito will pound out Rashad.

What do you guys think about Vera returning?

I was never that impressed with Vera. Wouldn't mind seeing him stay at heavyweight though and go rounds with AA or even Timmy, just to see if he can hang with 'top tier' fighters.

I read Penn's camp is denying the Diego fight.

I also the Rampgae/Henderson fight would be for the UFC LHW title. Henderson with 3 belts if he wins?

ADAM MARQUEZ IS A HYPEBEAST!!​

 

[mojodmonky1]

^ damn that Franca +232 is looking mighty tempting. I'm kicking myself for not putting anything down on Marquardt when it was +150 or higher. +120 looks too close on BOF and +135 is not enough for me to go through the hassle of opening a Bodog account. Oh well.

WAR Tito!

HAHAHAHA for all those who think that Gracie is gonna win, care to do a Sig bet (i know its lame, but i guess we cant really bet in person) Loser must keep a SIG made by the winner for a month. Anyone game?

[moonmaster3]

Marquardt is a beast on the ground...just look up some of his grappling videos. IMO, he definitely has an advantage on the ground.

[moonmaster3]

Greg Jackson really needs to have his fighters win this one. Or else basically his entire pro team will have all lost their fights. I think Marquardt has the best chance of breaking the Jackson curse right now.

 

[club27]

I see Sherk and Silva taking this, but it will probably go the distance in both

[maza4ever14]

Heading to Hooters in Dublin cuz there will be no cover charge.

I'm going:

Silva Def. Marquardt
Hermes Def. Sherk
Rashad Def. Tito
Nogueira Def. Herring
Florian Def. Alvin
Nickels Def. Bonnar

And i thought Bonnar couldnt fight for a minute cuz he tested positive for steroids?

It's been almost a year since his last fight I believe. I think his suspension was for around 10 months.

--Two new matches confirmed today by UFC for upcoming shows are Marcus Aurelio vs. Clay Guida on 8/25 in Las Vegas, and Diego Sanchez vs. Jon Fitch on 9/22 in Anaheim. Both matches look great, at least on paper. So Sanchez vs. B.J. Penn fell through.

The Hundreds Yellow Adam Bomb Fitted - Ends 7/9​

 

[moonmaster3]

My dude Clay Guida got robbed in Ireland. Him against Aurelio should be great. I'm really interested to see Jon Fitch/Diego Sanchez. Hopefully this time Diego comes out to bang. We all know Fitch will be ready and he definitely will have the advantage on the ground.
