Anderson Silva wants a fight? Dana White is giving it to him. Anderson Silva will get his first crack at an elite light heavyweight in Forrest Griffin. Forrest is certainly a capable fighter, but I doubt he can beat Anderson. Anderson is the best striker in the sport, and he will be tough to stop. I just can’t see where Forrest has an advantage (except maybe heart).
Thiago Silva who was rumored to be close to a fight with Forrest now fights Keith Jardine. That is going to be a dangerous fight for Jardine. Thiago’s style can be troubling for Jardine, and if Jardine loses this fight he may have to kiss goodbye any chance of going for the light heavyweight title soon. For Silva, this fight will really determine his future. I don’t think he will get cut if he loses, but if he doesn’t perform he may not be able to get back on track anytime soon.
UFC 100 is in the books and what an event it was. A lot of good fights and a heck of a show from Brock Lesnar. I almost feel bad for all the other guys. As well as they may have performed, UFC 100 will be in the books with Brock as the major story. [...]
I know a lot of folks are excited about Mir – Lesnar II, but in reality the most exciting fights of the night will be the other two major fights on this card. GSP vs. Alves is going to be one heck of a fight, but I certainly look forward to Bisping vs. Henderson. It’s [...]
Brock Lesnar may be a big draw. He may be the World heavyweight champion of the UFC. But even Brock can’t stay relevant if he loses for the 2nd time to Frank Mir at UFC 100. It’s true that Brock had Mir hurt in the first fight and the ref made a big mistake, but [...]
Talk about an embarrassment. An overweight Tim Sylvia made Roy Mercer look like Fedor on steroids. He lost in less than 10 seconds, and now is firmly out of the elite MMA heavyweights group. In MMA, anyone has a punchers chance. But I still don’t understand why Tim took this fight. Now he has no [...]
It’s a shame that it took Arlovski a few fights to realize MMA is not boxing but better late than never. Andrei may have lost his shot at getting back at Fedor by getting knocked out by Brett Rogers, but thinks can change quickly in the world of MMA. Maybe a fight with the loser [...]
Rashad may not be popular against the fans, but he certainly showed that what most of us have thought about him was certainly true. In his post Machida interview, Evans talked about how he felt uncomfortable as a champ and how he underestimated Machida. By listening to him, you may think that he is actually [...]
