Will Brazil sweep UFC 198?

[FrontNakedChoke]

UFC 198 is fast approaching, Brazil has the potential to sweep the entire card.

This card reminds me of UFC 134 (Silva vs Okami) where Brazil nearly had a clean sweep.

My money is on Hall knocking out Silva, and Shogun losing a decision.

If it weren't for those two I would be picking the Brazilians to sweep UFC 198.

Momentum can be hard to break in Brazil. Anybody predicting Brazil to go undefeated on Saturday?

I'd be SO SO SO surprised if Shogun won. (And happy).

 

[raconnor]

Shogun will lose and retire. Same could happen for Silva.

 

[HI SCOTT NEWMAN]

All the Brazilians will win I think..except for Shogun and Werdum. I see Corey and Stipe winning those fights. Apart from that the others are perfect opponents for the Brazilians to win.

 

[Meduza]

Don't Brazillians have like a 20% win rate since USADA....

Not looking good bro

 

[13Seconds]

Corey Anderson will bring down the mood.

 

[McgreGOATsLeft]

Most likely not.

Could be but Werdum is going to have some trouble navigating that 39" leg reach deficit

Anderson got knocked down by Bisping, I wouldn't say Hall is the perfect opponent...

LOL I didn't even notice that.

 

[Literally Bricked]

Shogun and Lil Nog will both probably lose. Silva and Werdum could potentially lose. Outside of that I expect Brazil to sweep every other fight.

 

[Danespina]

I'd be SO SO SO surprised if Shogun won. (And happy).

Corey Anderson is a pretty good match for Shogun. I think he can do it.

 

[Gunny]

It could happen. Matchmaking for Brazilian cards is usually and deliberately amenable to that outcome

Hall is very hot and cold, sometimes he shows up and looks good, but other times he is so tentative and half asleep, I see him being tentative and asleep against a counter fighter like Silva, and with the respect factor. could be a snoozefest.

 

[sirmorbach]

I just want Shogun to win, I don't really care about the rest. Stipe and Hall winning would make me quite happy, actually.

Everyone keeps saying this but I don't see it. With Hall, I think it's more so the fear of being taken down. He doesn't have to worry about that with Anderson, who's chin is no longer what it once was.

 

[Meduza]

Just don't tell them to 'break a leg' before they go into the octagon

 

[evilbrent]

Nope, either Jacare or Belfort will lose. Bet the house on it.

 

[UhVaiMorre]

but it's in Brazil..

What you trying to imply here sir ? for less than this people get lit on fire alive trapped between tires in the top of the favelas.
