UFC on FOX 2: "Evans vs. Davis", Jan. 28th, Chicago, Illinois
- Thread starter kickserv
- Start date
What a difference Cub going to Jacksons made. I was gonna sell out of this bet just because of that but got busy yesterday and forgot. Rogan was so right about Roops chin. How the hell do u keep it that high? this is about as bad of a ufc i ever had with my thoughts. How in the world did Hnoki not destroy Roop? I over evaluated him big time. He looked like he was one punch from being put to sleep the whole fight.
well i was right about Maia. He does just enuf not to win. The guy is a real tough guy to bet. If i had to judge the wrestling in the final id give it to Rashad. Looks like he was right when he said he was the better wrestler. Bisping doesn't have anything to be embarrassed about. I hope these odds with Sonnen Silva are close cause it think this time Silva destroys him. Sonnen style is just to charge ahead and get a takedown and hope his chin holds up while getting to it. A healthy Silva will knock him out. Bisping landed some nice shots and look like he hurt Sonnen a few times. Sonnen's act to me is getting old. He was great at the trash talking but now it is all WWE type of talking with the rhymes and all that nonsense,
he doesn't need to do. He was terrific just the way he was. Who got in his head and told him to be more WWE :shrug:

Great analysis. I think Bisping won the fight though.
Chael never in my opinion looked like he was in control of the fight or like he was going to seriously threaten Bisping. He got back and full mount, and pretty much did nothing with it.
I thought it was 29-28 bisping, and only way i could see different is if the 3rd round was scored 10-8...which again, don't see how.
Sonnen is a piece of dirt. Ask him an honest question about the steroids and shit, and he'll change the subject.
This is what happens when i make a comment about a guy i never saw fight before. This kid wasn't even close to landing anything with his short reach. Might have been embarrassment of the night.
That's what she said.
Watching now. Was busy last night. Just got done watching a boring Maia fight. Fukin split decision bs, but at least the right guy won.
So the morning after....My thoughts
Evans - Fighting in the 4th and 5th rounds will do him good. Ok he did not put Davis away but looked a level above his opponent. Against Jones he will be facing someone who is more efficient at using his reach
Bisping - I think even in defeat (I had it a win but..) this was Bisping's best performance to date. At 32 maybe if he can win 2 or 3 fights he may still get a title shot. If anything happens to Sonnen he could also step in.
Sonnen - Clearly people want to see the Silva fight. His post fight speech was a tribute to Superstar Billy Graham
Olivera - That sub looked painfull. Like him at 145
Maia - Just looked awful. The improvements he has made just went out the window for this fight. When I bet on him I did not expect this performance from him.
Beltran - Time to drop to 205 if he is not cut from the promotion.
Johnson - Huge win for this kid. Expect Roller to get cut with 0-3 record

I went big on Evans with the thought that Davis just wasn't ready and not good enough. I though Evans fought smart and didn't take any chances. His days in the Jackson camp are still with him. I don't think he'll have anything for Jones but he is different from most fighters in the LHW division and just maybe the speed and quickness will be what he needs to win.(or atleast make it a fight)
