Honestly would have been shocked if any of these guys were off weight.
Cannot wait for tomorrow night!
This is a very good UK card, 96 isn’t very appealing for a ppv cost, and 97 is looking great as long as no injuries happen.
96 not appealing?? i would much rather see Jackson v. Jardine and Miller v. Maynard over these matches. these matchups aren’t bad, but to say they are better than 96? dont agree.
I didn’t say 95 was better then 96, I said it is not appealing as a ppv cost. Don’t feel like paying $50 for no championship fights and seeing Rampage vs Jardine in the main event. Will download the fights the following morning and watch them then.
rude boy still fights at 170? he should def b at 155 but bj being his boy he probably doesnt wanna step on bjs toes
Anyone else see the article were Diego says he should leapfrog Florian? Better hope he wins or he will be rather embarrassed.
He’ll be chasing Florian when KenFLo (worst nickname in history! haha) whoops up on BJ.
well he claims he should be in front of Florian since he destroyed him at the TUF Finale…years ago…
You can argue that Florian has gotten WORLDS better since the Sherk fight, while Diego has been floating around the same status his entire pro career. The weak effort against Koz makes me question what Diego brings to a fight.
“The weak effort against Kos”?
You obviously don’t know how sick he was for that fight.
Honestly, I don’t remember hearing that he was sick…that definatly explains it!
Nice to see Wilson made weight this time.. The two MW fights should be outstanding.. Nate v Wilson could be a war and Maia v Sonnen should be a one sided destruction (I believe), and its all for free, nice
Maia vs Sonnen a one sided destruction? In whose favor?
My apologies for that…. I want Maia to sub the shhh out of Chael
I would actually like to see Sonnen win but we all know that his major weakness is submissions. None the less, it will be a very entertaining fight.
Well friend I would say imo that the Chael fans are in the minority on this fight… Not that he isnt any good, or that he doesnt talk the proper amount of shhh, for me he is going up against the future of the MW division.. Now for Sonnen to state that he believes that he or Maia would whoop on Anderson is just crazy talk, but hell he knows that if you want to call someone out just talk shhit about them.. He (Sonnen) also has a desire to be caught in these submission thingies that I hear that Maia kid is pretty good at.. I was also dissapointed that he didnt finish Filho (I wanted nothing more than for that to happen), soo in essence with Chael great ability to get caught in subs and Maia’s ability to put on great subs, Im going with the future of the division in Maia.. Ive eaten crow (been wrong) before and its no bueno but I really think Maia is going to win
o and it is great to see the potential next four “in line” for the shot at Anderson on the same card, I believe that the 2nd part of the year will be busy for Mr. Silva and I cant wait to see the potential bouts.. Either a few rematches (Hendo, Nate, Okami) or Maia,Sonnen, Gouviea… Sorry JohnBoy I did leave out the Bis on purpose

I LIKE ALL YOUR PICKS MAN… EXCEPT I DON’T LIKE RUDE BOY… I WANT KELLY TO WIN
It was a toss up on that one, since Kelly is at home. Think Rude Boy will catch him with a nice shot on the chin.
Sanchez beat Florian at 185 pounds, not 155. There needs to be another matchup because the weight matters. Kenny is so technical, so elusive and his BJJ is just as good as Sanchez’s. But hey, it’s my firm belief that if you enter a new weight class, you should start at the bottom. BJ didn’t deserve GSP, Sanchez doesn’t deserve Penn. Not yet. Seems like the only guy who is abiding by this is The Spider (side note: how long before Anderson Silva gets a LHW title shot, LOL.).
(side note: how long before Anderson Silva gets a LHW title shot, LOL.). Never as long as Machida is in the running for it. KFlo gets the next shot at Penn and then Sanchez if he wins this one.
If Sanchez wins this one he could be getting the next shot at Kenflo… its not predetermined that BJ is going to beat him, though I do believe it’s likely.
My damn wireless is killing me today here are my picks
Kelly UD
Eklund choke
Mike C UD
Dos Santos (t)ko
Cobb UD
Kos (t)ko
Maia choke
Nate (t)ko
Markham (t)ko
Stevenson choke
My Picks:
Sanchez TKO
Hardy UD
Marquardt KO
Maia Sumbission (choke)
Koscheck TKO
Santos KO
Cobb Sumission (IDK)
Kelly UD
Ciesnolevicz UD
Dunham Submission (choke)
if sanchez wins he’ll fight again at ufc 100 and bj vs kenflo will be at ufc 100 hopfully he’ll face lauzon will face snchez at ufc 100 then he’ll fight the winner of kenflo/penn which i hope is KENFLO!!
I cant believe i actually see someone actually picked paulo thiago to win on here…..I mean i understand he has a chance but ive really been looking at this guy ive researched everything about him…Ive found alot of his fights…and i just cant see him beating kos at all…..In all of his fights i found he gets taken down easily and likes to throw sloppy punchs no technique at all…so in my mind kos will destroy him in satnd up and of all the people thiago has fought he hasnt fought any good wrestlers and he was still taken down so i see kos(a star wrestler) holding him down and gnp him in the first or a standing ko in thiagos future….I am so confident that ill even say paulo thiago only has oo.o1% chance of winning if that…imo i would mind actually saying he has no chance and that he cant win i just cant see it!
My picks.
Sanchez TKO 1/4 (I think he’ll overwhelm him)
Hardy Choke 2/3 (eh, I dunno)
Marquardt UD 3/5 (somethings telling me decision on this one)
Maia Arm 1/2 (Maia is way too good on the ground for Sonnen)
Kos KO 1/1 (Thiago is outclassed)
Cobb Choke 2/3 (I really hope Cobb makes good on his debut, he looked good at the last PFC event)
Dos Santos KO 1/3 (Kid’s got some power.)
Grove TKO 1/3 (Big man, I think he’ll be too big for this guy)
Eklund UD 3/5 (eh, I dunno)
Mandaloniz SD 3/5 (see above)
this is a giant card for free tv cant wait for it
alot of people seem to be pickin sanchez, i think joe daddy is guna choke his ass out, i hope we get to see dos santos fight, i dont understand why hes not on the main card
i watched the weigh ins sanchez looked freakin thin like you vould see his heart pounding
