yeah bad move imo, he should of gone for someone like forrest or little nog, think machida will come too soon for him

[P90PTS]

I seriously do think that Rampage will beat him and it'll be a Shogun Vs. Rampage for the title (Shogun will beat Rashad)

Back to tonight though, I think if sonnen takes Silva to the ground he'll walk away champ.

[McGuire86]

Sonnen will get destroyed by Silva and i hope does too, loud mouth twat. I still dont understand how he got a title shot, I know Belfort is still injured but come on there are more worthy oppenents. Wasnt long ago Sonnen lost to Maia and Silva made a mockery out of Maia.
Doesnt matter if he takes him down, Henderson did that and look what happend to him and Hendo is a far better fighter and wrestler than Sonnen.

Rampage has the potential to beat Machida no doubt but after his last fight you can see hes one of those fighters that suffer from ring rust. He needs a good brawl to get back to his best and he wont get that from Machida. Machida will just counter him all night.

Hope Hughes wins tonight one of my favourites but hes got a hard test, also Alvez vs Fitch 2 should be a epic rematch.
Be interesting to see the outcome of Dos Santos and Nelson with the winner facing Brock Lesnar or Valzques and the loser facing Carwin so either way fat boy Nelson is fucked lol.

Won't be watching this live as I'm going Ford Fair :(

It's gonna be hard to avoid finding out results until tomoz evening.

Awesome card, I'm kind of hoping for Silva to dance around for 5 rounds so Dana sends him up to LHW to fight Shogun :D The MW is a joke outside of the top 3. No depth atall.

If he does that he will get cut! Plus he said hes staying at middleweight now :n:

[McGuire86]

Send GSP up then.

Just wait for Belfort ;)

I've said it before and i'll say it again. Who the fuck is Chael Sonnen?!?!

Whoever he is i dont see him making it out of the first coz Silva has a point to prove after the mockery of a fight he put on last time out.

On a side note, What's with fighters coming in overweight?! Two fighter from the past two events. Personally i think its pathetic that a fighter cant lose the weight for a fight. Mate it's your job!! :boxing:

[P90PTS]

Im loving the potential prospect of Roy Nelson Vs Brock Lesnar or Vs Carwin... I would actually pay to see that if I stayed in the states!

[jono83]

is this on espn tonight?

Yes mate

[Rob_Furio7]

Not long now, the build up on espn is awesome.
I hope sonnen gets beat, there's being competitive ms putting your oppenent off and there's being a prick!

[McGuire86]

im trying to keep awake...

[Rob_Furio7]

wow roy can take some brutal punishment. if he was in better phsyical condition, he'd be unstoppable

[McGuire86]

wow....

[Rob_Furio7]

unexpected....

sonnen is a brute, his ground work is very good, very stable for a whole round!

[Giraffe]

Thoughts on the event then?!

Or were the WOW's the thoughts, cos that's what I thought...
