im liking this card ..im hoping to see clay guida get put down by sanchez early…..and a diaz choke on stevenson….i definetly see tibau having the size advantage but if guilard can keep it standing i see a KO victory for him…

@figs, what I meant by it looks like a ppv is that this card has some really good fights on there, unlike other tuf finales where it had one guy who was a middle of the pack guy at his division. on this finale, probably the winner of guida(the caveman)-diego gets the next title shot, and diaz-stevenson, stevenson just had a title shot less than 12 months ago. not to mention anthony “rumble” johnson is on the card, he is perhaps the future champ at 170 in two years. this whole card will probably produce “exciting” ko’s.

I personally believe that Gulliard has a better oppritunity to win this fight standing and that Tibau will be more willing to stand for the majority of the first two rounds, and with Gulliard’s quick power that he does have he could do well while standing… Tibau I believe is just trying to keep White and Silva happy by taking every fight he can and perhaps he can look better in these “short notice” fights and grab some wins.. I could be completely wrong too..

realy i think this just got tougher for guillard unless he keeps it standing the whole fight, in that case wed be treated to quite KO,so is tibau the new go to replacement guy.

These guys fighting each other is rather interesting, I’m not a huge fan of either but this can be one hell of a battle… I think this is an easier fight for Guillard than the original bout but should be a hell of a time…

It should be free on spike, they’ve never had PPV for the finale’s in the past and I don’t see them starting now with this card.

guillard is greatly talented, but the guy just hasnt put his ego aside to train properly, he has great ko power, but needs to work on his ground game. I like this matchup and TUF9 finale looks like a ppv. there are some damn good fights on that card, just no huge names.

don’t think the fight got better, but it looks like they are definately testing how much guillards ground game has improved to see if he infact does have the potential that he shows glimpses of every now and again.

Tibau needs to be catious with the stand up and go straight for the sub or he’ll get guillarded!

Dude Joe daddy IS hella overrated.
