I guess because everyone else has way too much common MMA sense to say it, I will.
I think there is a small but distinct chance that CroCop simply is unwillng and/or unable to make the mental and physical adjustments from ring-fighting to cage-fighting and may get “Gonzaga’ed” by Al-Turk.

Just a random thought…

Swick’s going to be dangerous at 170 now that he’s used to it. Not Alves or GSP dangerous, but with one more good win (assuming he beats Saunders) I wouldn’t be surprised to see him contending.

My heart says Wandy, my mind says Franklin. I’m going with my heart today and begrudgingly betting once again on Silva for the win. I pray Silva will be a bit more passive in this fight cause Rich’s strikes are dangerous.

The whole card is sick. It’s a shame I’m working til 6 today and catching the late play. It’ll be tough not accidentally catching the results.

jazz you stoled my avatar, I want you banned from frenzy for life!!!

im just kidding, I personally dont think swick can hang with either gsp or alves, both will murder him. i would rather see swick-fitch or swick-kos. dont call out the top 2 dogs in your weight class until after you have beaten a top 5 guy, just words of advice for swick. killa b is dangerous and the dude has some good knees, swick needs to be careful. id also like to see him fight anthony rumble johnson, I know AJ hasnt fought a top ten guy, but he has some damn good strikes.

Can’t see Hardy getting an upset but could definitely see Velasquez pulling off a submission.

I just cant see Saunders as that big of a threat right now. Granted if he beats Swick then he’s got all my respect, but until then all ive seen is wins over b and c level fighters. Where as swick has been fighting and knocking off top competition for years now. Okami is ranked as the #2 MW right now by a lot of people(not me)and swick gave him a good fight. At the same time Saunders was strugling with a d level fighter in Dan barrera on TUF and at the Finale. So ya if Saunders wins to me its a big upset, considering how close Swick is to a title shot.

Jazzok what up baaahhh!!!

You took the words or type the words out my mouth or computer, which ever. About Rich franklin. Where does he stand???

Personally like Rich, and I see him beating Wandy, with foot technique and movement and straight left punches! He imo will be the stronger of the two.. Rich had problems with A.Silva because he said A.Silva was just as strong as Timmmehhh sylva. Sooo I dont think he will have that problem with Wandy…

If Saunders beats Swick that is an upset!!
If Cain beats Kongo that is a serious major upset!!
We shall see.

Jazzok why did you steal bigchris2328 avator????? {ha}

If cain were to win, it would be considered an upset being that kongo is like 1 win away from a title shot and because this fight is widely considered by everyone to be cains “first big test”.

I have to agree and say that rich has way more to lose. Rich has been pretty much forgotten @ 185 and completely overshadowed by anderson silvas reign and dominance over 185. He’s coming off a loss @ the 1 division he has a chance in, and if he loses to a guy trying to drop from 205, where does he really stand? Fighting against eric schaefer?

Back to possible “upsets” for tomorrow night. If there is to be one, my prediction is, ben “killa b” saunders upsets mike swick. Swick has already made plans in his head to face gsp or thiago…he should be more focused on a young, hungry and dangerous striker like ben saunders(not that i’m overrating him).

Can’t wait dude!

i did see the fight recently and although it was close, i still feel that Henderson won. Rich did come out stronger in the third,but i have Hendo winning the first and edging out the 2nd, but i guess that’s how i see it. Other than that we still agree on most things, but i’ll check the fight out again to see if i missed something.

The reason i dont think anybodys mentioned Wandy’s clinch game is because it kinda goes without saying. Even thow its not like he uses it anymore. But i guess weil see. The whole thing with Anderson is just to potentially hype a fight with the two silva’s. I realy dont think in one week Anderson is gonna change Rich’s game all that much. Cant hurt though. Ya what Dana said about Wandy maybe getting a shot was interesting. It seems like everyone and their mom wants a shot at Silva, and Dana’s playing eenie meenie miney moe, or waiting for someone to realy hype up.
Cain and Kongo are pretty even in my mind i dont see any upset there if Cain wins
