Franklin looked much more confident at the weigh-ins. What a stare down! I think a win for Franklin would be best. Go Vera too!
By the way, are you still thinking of doing any contests Kris?
Yep, we won’t have any contests for UFC 77 but by UFC 78 we should have some contests ready to go. Once I get back home from UFC 77 the site is going to be revamped with a lot of new features I think everyone will like.
I am happy to see that not everyone is picking Silva to win, especially you Kris. I just have this feeling that Franklin will win. There is no way the fight is going to end like it did last time with Franklin getting destroyed. I think Franklin has been humbled and has taken this fight as serious as possible. Franklin will have a fantastic game plan and he will execute it against Silva.
Franklin will impose his will and he will find a way to win. I don’t know if he will win by TKO or by decision, but Franklin will win and reclaim his top spot of being the number Middleweight in the world. We should all be getting ready for Franklin to defend his title in Brazil for Franklin/Silva III.
I meant to say Franklin will reclaim his top spot of being the number one Middleweight in the world. Sorry about the error.
2 words……Franklin and Vera…well thats 3 but u get the point
Yeah, that’s right, I’m the only guy predicting a straight win by Vera. I figured I do it ballsy and predict a finish.
Silva 2nd TKO
Vera 2nd TKO
Belcher 1st TKO<———even money? got to be kidding Belcher will crush him.
Mcdonald 3rd split d.
Robinson 3rd TKO
Petz 1 KO <———great money bet(petz is a dog but not at those odds)
i dont think silva stands a chance in this fight…u heard it here first guys….1st round KO for franklin…man i hope im right i got 200 on it
thats balls my friend
i’m with you johnny boy. the 2 old champs are coming back. who know’s though!!!
I got Sylvia and Franklin winning.!!
Vera will beat sylvia up pretty bad, but I don’t see sylvia getting his arm broke again, or knocked out. We’ll see here soon.
i thot silva over franklin by KO and vera over sylvia by descision… i guess i missed
Now that Vera lost, I guess this is the perfect time for him to fight Cro Cop.
