I mean hell Sakara has been with the UFC since 2005 so they must like the guy he switched weight classes which seems to always get the fighter a extended stay in the UFC... Sakara(13~7~0 {1NC}) is 4~4 (1NC) in the UFC which isn't half bad, but despite the fact he has some rather cool tatts he is going to be tested against Rousimar... Rousimar(9~2~0) has gone 2~1 in his stint in the UFC and his only loss is to Hendo which was expected for a guy in his tenth fight of his career and plus people were saying if Hendo lost he would be cut, so needless to say Hendo has a "reason" to fight one of his best fights... Anyways I' looking forward ot this fight forsure, should be entertaining..

He got submitted by Dean Lister and KO by Leben, Houston Alexander, and Drew McFedries... All of those guys are known for finishing fights and none of them had hin out cold. I think Sakara is an exciting fighter. He made the move to ATT a couple weeks before his loss to Leben (which he looked very frail after weight cut) and took Vedepo (who is not high caliber) out quickly with a head kick, which he has never shown before. Good fight here. I think it is a liitle bit unfair to trivialize what Sakara has done.

In the Horn fight he broke his hand in the first round {kind of hard to hold a submission with a broken hand} ,and the Hendo fight he showed good chin ,submissions,and kicks, I really don't see how anyone can say he's not trying to finish his opponents.. Plus there is no chame in losing to Hendo and he even came close to finishing the fight. If anything Hendo was the one trying to out point Palhares ..If you don't believe me look at the fight and listen to what Hendo says at the end "sorry I wasn't as agressive tonight, but I knew I could keep it on the feet and strike" Marvelknight4 “Palhares has shown great sumbmissions”, but he’s also shown a lack of “killer Instinct”????

Palhares is going to win by sub. dude who hasn’t ko’d sakara? i’m surprised he’s still around, or atleast was surprised till Ken brought up the fact the their italy bound.

The UFC is planning on moving into Italy soon, and Sakara is fighting out of Rome. He is an asset for sure. Tough fight for Sakara, but if he does lose the fight, its unlikely the UFC will drop him.

Yeah both guys need a win. Your right timcat, if Sakara loses he's most likely on his way out of the UFC. Palhares has shown great sumbmissions, but he's also shown a lack of "killer Instinct", meaning he's been unable to finish guys, so he needs to not only win, but put on an impressive performance. Personally i want Sakara to win because i like him more than Palhares, but i have to give this one to Palhares only because he has good takedowns, he's stronger than Sakara and his great JJ is going to win the fight for him.

I thought that Maia and Palhares would make a very interesting fight aswell. Maia has the slick jiu-jitsu, but Palhares is a tank. I'm not sure if I read it here(I think I did), but Maia gets the title shot in August. This year is going to be interesting.

Sakara a little more so as a loss could find him on the way out door. Both guys need the win at this point. Sakara a little more so as a loss could find him on the way out door.
