Weidman matches up well with Silva physically and I think he hits harder than Chael. Plus the wrestling pedigree. I give him a chance despite being pretty green. If Edgar barely ekes out another decision I'm going to facepalm.


Frankie "Rematch" Edgar!

Well, life goes on. While I think what Anderson was stupid, he still had an incredible streak in the UFC and nothing can take that away. The future of the MW division got very interesting.

Lost all respect for Silva after the Maia fight. Couldn't have been a more fitting end to his reign.

In the immortal words of Chris Tucker, "YOU GOT KNOCKED THE F*** OUT MAN."

Wow, Silva gave it away. You can't pull that sh*t at 38 yrs old.

I hope, but I kinda doubt it due to his age and wealth he's made, that this loss will light a fire under Anderson's ass and he'll go back to being a killer like he was before.

He still looked pretty sharp, especially with the leg kicks, but I remember the day Roy Jones discovered he couldn't back straight away from punches with his hands down against Glenn Johnson. His career was effectively over at that point. Fact is Chael already proved if you get Silva backing up, straight punches will land.

He looked plenty sharp. And the way he dodged right before the hit landed was really superb. Sad thing he chose this kind of approach or tactic (I'll not start to speculate if the WWF style drama would have possibly been a pre-arrangement, so I'll stick to personal choice).

This match really put some perspective into my last-page bold statements. :) Yeah right, he's humble and will surely win...

Also, nice gut feeling there, M25105!

Well, I picked Sonnen but you'll just have to take my word for it. :P Nifty front kicks from Brown. Overeem has no respect for his opponents and he pays for it time and again. Brown threw the same kick like 5 times and Alistair just pretended it wasn't going to hurt him.

Freaking depressing card. Shogun is one of my all time favourite fighters and it sucked seeing him lose.

For those fights I've got Henderson, Barnett, Guida, Krylov and Rothwell.

Guida will probably lose, but I took him anyway. How can you bet against this?

I'm a bit tired of Henderson playing it safe with god and a toothpick in his mouth. So I pick Pettis. Dude is crazy talented.

There should be a betting line "Benson Henderson wins by controversial split decision".

Bloody hell, the Shlemenko vs. Cooper fight was freaking awesome! If you missed it out, check it out here.

Jones vs Gustafsson is the only fight that interests me, partly because the mainstream media is selling Alexander short. Of course Jones is the favorite, he has the clear advantage in grappling, but I think if Gus can stick and move, he can outpoint Jones, maybe knock him out. When Machida caught Jon it was clear he does not like getting hit.

Jones actually had to work for it this time.
