Pretty solid card with some good even match ups through out the card

Plays so far

Silva
Both these guys are on there last legs (Silva 35 and le 39) and as much as I like Cung's style I think he gets stopped in the first round. Silva is long past his sell by date but he still hits pretty hard. Le will want to keep this in kicking range but I expect Silva to just rush in and then throw leather

Hendo could win this easy if he fought smart but u know he will go for the knockout. He could take Shogun down any time he wants. Shogun couldn't stop a takedown to save his life. As for Cung Lee? If Silva had any chin what so ever i would put my whole account on him. Lee is an over hyped stiff. Silva would run right thru him.

this is a 5 round fight as well so the gas tank will come in to play. I would play Hendo but his age worries me. I'm just going to watch this one

First off. Hendo could win easy? Bahahahah Smoke another joint. Shogun can be taken down, but has anyone kept him there? Remember....torn acl against Forrest. Having torn mine, I dont have a fucking clue how he even walked into the cage yet alone fight.

Gas tank? His cardio is ONLY in question coming off surgeries and inactivity. Look how fresh he looks when he stays active. BTW You forget the Machida fight went 5 rounds and he was ready to keep going. Considering this fight is so soon, he will be in great shape.

As far as the fight itself. Just watch Dan fight. He has done it in just about every fight since he joined the UFC. He fights slow and flat footed. Basically just stalking his opponents looking for the KO. The title fight in SF and Fedor fights couldnt have been so obvious.

I obviously think Shogun takes the fight. He is simply the better fighter. I think Hendo gets picked apart for 5 rounds and fights desperate the entire fight.

If Wandy fights smart and under control(Bisping fight) then hes tough to beat. But when he fights out of control he leaves himself open to get caught. You just never know. Wandy cares about the fans and to put on a show.

Le is gonna be rusty as hell. I dont believe hes committed like you need to be. And I hope Wandy knocks his ass out in the 1st round.

In the UFC he fought one guy who will wrestle and he got taken down at will and never got up. Then again that was JJ. I say if Hendo followed a smart game plan (which he won't) he could win this easier than trying by trading bombs. I hope Shogun comes in shape. To me he looked like he was gassing in the first round of his last fight. In the Machida 5 rounder he looked fantastic. Which one shows up?

Damn, there isn't one BIG MEGA fight for the belt but this is a GREAT overall card IMO. Normally there are a lot of fights that are lopsided when just looking at them but this card has a lot of toss ups.

Personally I think Wandy wins. His chin is gone but I don't think it will matter for some reason. I like Bonnar in his fight. I really think the Kampmann fight is going to be awesome and I think he wins but that's just because I love watching him fight.

Now for Shogun and Hendo, I just want to sit back and hope Shogun is really back to himself. I don't give much thought to the Forrest fight because I think Forrest is done with fighting and it showed. Hopefully it's a great fight and Shogun wins.

I'M PUMPED!

Thong, I'll do an avatar bet with you and I'll take Wandy. Winner picks the avatar right? And 12/3 sounds good.

Great card!!

I like all these puppies...

Hendo
Silva
Bowles
Kampman
******dos Anjos******
Anti matt brown

Should be an awesome night of fights.

I think dos Anjos is a solid play, but I'm as biased for him as Kickserv is for gsp.

Cung Le is fighting on rep only and probably will have no gas again. Wandy will knock him down and get the RNC.

Martin is so fun to watch and one of my faves, but he is stupid, and he has a small head. He definitely can win this though.

I don't think Matt Brown should be chalk to anybody. He sux.
