Ufc 101

MC · 08-05-2009, 04:11 PM

only a few days away and we dont have a thread yet, im actually more excited about this card than 100.

i think the theme of most people rationale for their picks will be heart vs mind. what i mean is the two guys i want to win i couldnt put $ on them if i had to

im pulling for florian the dude has looked so good the last few years... and i do think he has the skills atleast striking to beat BJ but...... BJ is a proven top tier fighter the GSP fight just proves where GSP is right now as a fighter doesnt mean BJ isnt dominate at 155 still. i think with BJ's back against the wall he will come out very aggressive and try to recapture what he did agaisnt sherk or stevenson. im calling 1-2nd round KO/TKO for Penn. but im pulling for kenflo 100% if BJ Penn isnt back to his old self florian IS the guy to beat him ... but i have this feeling he might be one of those guys who gets to the top but cant close the deal

forrest same thing i love the guy and he is smash mouth tough with no excuses...but silva is well silva. i think the only thing he is guilty of is fighting to the level of his opponents. the last 2 guys didnt/wouldnt/couldnt engage him so anderson chose to just go with it, i think it has to do with his personality he was more interested in being technically sound than putting on a show. from a fans point of view that sucks but from his point of view the view that really counts he did what he had to do....with that said forrest is gonna come after him and i think it will reawken the fighter everyone says is #1 in the world. so i got silva all the way in this. not sure how though. its only 3 rounds so it could go the distance..forrest is a tough guy, but if i had to make a call i would say if forrest gets him down like everyone says he has to do he would get caught in a submission trying to do something of his own while on the ground ala dan henderson.

what are your picks? anyone think forrest has any chance?

Penn 2nd round TKO
Silvia - ? round Submission
Amir Sadollah i guess will win he hasnt even fought yet since TUF so hard to say

since florian cheats with behind the head elbows im going with penn, eventhough i know florian is the best fit fighter..

SILVA is going to show griffin what UFC is all about. and the other fights, who cares.

Penn 2nd round submission
Silva 1st round TKO

FIGHT DAY THREAD REVIVAL

I won't comment on Penn Florian because what I want to happen and what I think will happen are two different things.

Silva by TKO Round 3.

Everyone came in at or under weight, all fighters seemed healthy enough. Let's go.

I knew silva would win, but I didn't expect an ass whoopin like that. That was like some huge uncle messing around with his kid nephew.

^ on the flip side, I thought Penn would have had an easier time.

molamann · 08-09-2009, 01:37 PM

Watch Kenflo's knees. :S

It's not piss

Anderson : Griffin
Me : My 4 yr old

That was just laughable. He toyed with him and then broke his jaw. Ugly.

And Penn is way ahead of anyone at 155. I can't stand him but who's going to beat him?
