Wow. Should be a great fight. Also, Franklin v. Griffin.

I think the Jones v. Bader fight may be more exciting than Franklin v. Griffin fight. Either way this is definitely one of the better fight cards in awhile.

Silva is going to embarrass him. The Belfort hype is unwarranted, and it will be proven this weekend.

I agree

i am still upset Dan Henderson never got a shot at a rematch after knocking out Bisping. At that point he was the person to ever win a round off Silva in the UFC

Might be the best card of the year! Jones vs Bader is the one to watch. I think Silva beats Belfort before he gets to go crazy...Brawling doesn't work on snipers. Franklin/Griffin is intriguing but I expect a lot of rust and sloppiness.

Miguel Angel Torres, Kid Dynamite and Donald Cerrone are all also on the card...I we get to see Dynamite and Cowboy.

He's become a choke artist in big fights like K-Flo and Marquardt.

Silva in a boring fight, he is going to pick him apart.
Griffin though ring rust might be an issue.
Jones over Bader in a match that confirms what everyone thinks of Jones.
Torres.
Carlos Eduardo Rocha.

too much money

vitor's going to try and clinch with silva for like, 3 or 4 rounds until he gets tired and silva knocks him out or subs him, i'm guessing sub

I disagree, I see two one-sided main events and too many wrestlers on one card...but that's just my opinion.

I got Anderson winning by being the better, more diverse striker. Belfort is a good MMA boxer and has power, so he could clip him, but Anderson has great footwork and a great chin, so I wouldn't put money on that.

Bader/Jones is the fight I want to see.

to each his own but to say im not excited for this 1 would be a gross understatement. johnny bones jones/bader imo is the best fight on the card

i've been a huge fan of belfort since i started fighting myself years ago.

unfortunately it's going to be boring because silva just tries to use strategy and last the entire fight instead of going for the win. the only guy that doesn't care about that is forest griffin and valasquez.

i used to train with Jon Jones towards the end of my career, and let me tell you guys, that man picks things up so quickly. i was fortunate enough to never have to spar with him because i fought between the 135-145 range, but he used to put beatings on people. he didn't know the difference between "going 80%" and "going 100%".

Don't sleep on Silva, remember Chael Sonnen was tested positive for PEDs after the fight, and supposedly Silva fought on broken ribs and the doctors even told him to delay the fight.

Jon Jones is the future Light Heavyweight champion.

What's PED?
