[BudoPracticioner]

instead of all this UFC 200 drama lately. I'm guilty of it too but now I'm over it, sooooo........Can we talk about some of the actual matchups slated for coming months?

Werdum-Stipe?
Jacare-Vitor?
Silva-Hall?
Maia-Brown?
Rockhold-Weidman 2?
Cruz-Faber?
RDA-Alvarez?

Remember the ice spill?

 

[dleehscdd]

I could see Silva/Hall being really good or really bad.. it just seems like one of those fights that looks great on paper.

I'm just trying to stir the pot here, but let's start with a pick for an upset. Of the matchups I mentioned above, I'd say that seeing Brown upset Maia would be the least surprising. I think Matt Brown is underrated.

I see Silva returning to form vs Hall.

I think Jacare will sub Vitor.

And I want Werdum to keep winning until, fingers crossed, they can set up a rematch with Fedor in the UFC. I am glad Werdum is finally getting his due as an all time great HW.

I've been thinking the same. They are both counter strikers, so it could turn out to be very boring, however, both are in serious need of a win, so I think they *should* come out aggressively.

I'd love to see Anderson go on one more run before he retires, and he needs this win to do it.

On the other hand, Hall has been close to moving in to the top tier of MW, but takes a loss every time he gets there, so he needs this win as well.

So, I don't have a strong prediction either way, but hopefully they will both show up for a fight rather than a dance.


TS - How did I do?

Silva/Hall just reminds me of Pettis/Alvarez and we know how that one turned out lol. I love Anderson, but there is always a risk of a boring fight. I really hope this one is good.

[Gabe]

Wouldn't be surprised with any result for that one, but I think Stipe has solid boxing, big power, and a very good chin. If he can avoid going to the ground he night get the finish because as good as Werdoom is he still gets tagged alot. Werdoom is crafty though and has a good chin himself, should be a good fight.

But TS you was one of the guys making threads such as " Mcgregor is the Mayweather of MMA "
