UFC 126 silva vs. Belfort

**ibanez7** · 02-04-2011, 06:33 PM

should be a good card, atleast the main and co-main events.

I have been waiting to see silva lose. With how close Sonnen came to winning, i think others have seen Silva is beatable. Lets see if silva learned a lesson from his chael beating. If Belfort can keep inside and close to silva, Belfort will win.

Franklin is a smart fighter, I think Griffin will lose. Unless he wised up and learned a few new things since his embarrassment to silva.

whats your predictions?

Silva vs Belfort

Griffin vs Franklin

Ellenberger vs Rocha

Jones vs Bader

Torres vs Banuelos

i HOPE vitors speed can throw silva off. we know he can get hurt--- even chael rocked him pretty good on his feet.

griffin vs franklin is going to be a more awkward matchup.

jones vs bader could be a gooder!

Belfort by TKO
Franklin by UD
Jones by whatever he wants

I hope Belfort knocks his ass out cold. I like Jones, could care less about the rest.

im pulln for vitor, hope he doesnt gas out like he used to after his prime..
+1 for franklin, if griffin loses i think its over for him, no more ppv events lol, prolly same goes for franklin. what do u all think of the new ultimate fighter coaches Lesner and Dos Santos??

I've been following some MMA reports and dana white interviews regarding how the new season filming is going...

everything sounds impressive and good so far.

Yes brock has limited skills, however I think he would make a great coach and his staff is good!!

Brock as always will bring in the ratings.

Now we just wait for cain to lose the belt...

**28Marcos** · 02-05-2011, 05:07 PM

^there's not really many other heavy weight condenders right now is there? I hope cain can retain teh belt at least 2 more fights...

**ibanez7** · 02-05-2011, 06:05 PM

maybe carwin, when he is back after surgery

**ibanez7** · 02-05-2011, 07:30 PM

Holy shit announced Jones vs shogun....

**ibanez7** · 02-05-2011, 08:25 PM

Damn it.... rematch needed

**knightryda01** · 02-05-2011, 09:44 PM

Dissapointed... I hate Silva with a passion. I respect his skills just want to see him lose.

I think Vitor had too much time off, he got caught hard.

Excited for Jones vs. Shogun... Should be a great fight.

again silva shows that hes far and above better than his opponent not to suprising. silva vs gsp is in the works yet again, lets see if it goes through this time. the franklin vs griffin was good, they both looked pretty decent just wonder whats in store for them next.

**BrntWS6** · 02-06-2011, 01:32 PM

I think GSP is too small for MW. Silva said in a press conference after the fight he would fight him but at 185, he doesn't want to move up or down in weight. So it wouldn't be @ a catch weight like some had speculated. Actually I think Anderson said that at one point.

I'm just pissed we didn't get to see more of Vitor's hands, fight ended too quick.

**ibanez7** · 02-06-2011, 08:26 PM

gsp and silva will NOT happen...

if mma weight classes were seperated by 7-8 libs like boxing maybe, but a 15lb spread is too much, especially since most of these guys cut 30lbs just to weight in.

silva wont cut that much and gsp wont gain that much

**ibanez7** · 02-06-2011, 08:28 PM

sonnen vs silva rematch is needed.

sonnen has done the best in beating up silva, and maybe this time instead of wanting to knock him out, sonnen will fight smarter in the 5th round and play safe.

however I still think silva sold his soul to some spear throwing jungle witch doctor...

Latest quote from Chael Sonnen. This guy makes me laugh.

Thank you, Anderson, for revealing yet another weakness for me to exploit in our rematch. Beating that poor punching bag doesn’t impress Uncle Chael, guy. You tipped your hand like a chump poker player at a $5 table in Atlantic City. You may have beaten Vitor, but in the process, you LOST your edge. By beating that husk, you gave me the last page of your playbook. Revel in your time, [because] it ENDS the night you face me. I will mow you down like autumn wheat, AGAIN.

I would really like Shields to move back up to MW and fight AS after GSP has his way with him.

**28Marcos** · 02-07-2011, 04:04 PM

i dislike shields so any beatdown he suffers is a plus

hahaha Chael is too funny...

Chael has the best chance in beating silva...

If chael loses again, he can always go into stand up comedy
