Yep. Hes pretty good boxing and tougher to get down lately.

**Rubber Guard** · 03-06-13, 02:18 PM

Wait wait wait just one minute here. Wasn't Anderson ducking the Great Chris Weidman? I mean that was a fact wasn't it.

Just like he ducked Sonnen....er wait...

Just how he ducked Okam....er wait....

I don't care if there isn't a single shred of evidence! Anderson Silva is a ducker god dammit!

I highly doubt Barao will be able take him down with pure wrestling, but the biggest thing about this fight in my eyes is that Barao relies so heavily on his jab, but he's completely out-gunned in that department by Wineland, who has a far better jab. Certainly winnable for Barao provided he mixes it up with leg kicks and diversifies his striking a bit more than we're used to. We've seen with Wineland that his biggest problems come when people mix it up against him by mixing their wrestling attack into their striking attack.

CANderson silva is going to get f-cked up and cry again

**Rubber Guard** · 03-06-13, 02:52 PM

I agree it is a dangerous fight for Barao. Wineland packs some power for that division. I do think Barao could get him down if he wanted too and could put on a clinic on the ground. He is the better overall striker as well and will probably play that game. Wineland has that power and long punches to make this very interesting.

Alistair Overeem Injured and out of UFC 160 Fight Against Junior Dos Santos

http://bleacherreport.com/articles/1556797-alistair-overeem-injured-and-out-of-ufc-160-fight-against-junior-dos-santos

In a disappointing turn of events for UFC 160 in May, former K-1 and Strikeforce heavyweight champion Alistair Overeem has been forced out of his scheduled bout against Junior dos Santos...

Overeem out, JDS needs a new opponent. Hopefully Mark Hunt.

**Grabaka** · 03-07-13, 01:24 AM

This shit gets me pumped.....Come on Danaaaaaa!

**Rubber Guard** · 03-07-13, 01:33 PM

They are pushing Overeem/JDS to the summer.

**Imsmarterthanu** · 03-08-13, 07:31 PM

I would describe hunt as a technical brawler

**Beelzebubzy** · 03-09-13, 08:28 AM

JDSvs hunt is on

**Grabaka** · 03-09-13, 08:29 AM

WOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOO

**Vaughany** · 03-09-13, 08:41 AM

NCAA JDS gonna come out!

**Sacrelicious** · 03-09-13, 08:57 AM

Extremely fun fight, penetrate Overeem.

The fact that Mark Hunt is making a serious run in 2013 is amazing, and hilarious.

**hobbesITD** · 03-11-13, 09:43 PM

Ryan Bader got injured and Te Huna stepped in.

Glover Texeira vs James Te Huna at UFC 160.

**Sacrelicious** · 03-11-13, 09:52 PM

Already bet on Glover for that fight, Glover/Te Huna is going to be a massacare....

**gabe** · 03-11-13, 10:28 PM

I lean Glover but love Te Huna, no play 4 your cousin gabe

**gabe** · 03-11-13, 10:29 PM

My prediction is Glover by Sub

I've been looking for a spot to fade Glover for quite some time, but I wasn't sure if Bader was it. Te Huna, on the other hand...

**Vaughany** · 03-12-13, 03:45 AM

yeah much more interesting fight..Te HUna can take a lot of punishment unlike Bader

**Sacrelicious** · 03-12-13, 10:05 AM

Wineland +265. Barao -385.

I know we went 12 rounds about Glover and Rampage.

But you don't buy him this much? I'm not saying Glover is an elite 205er. But from what I have seen of both (fan of both) Tex should be better than him everywhere. Including cardio. More effective striker. Power may be equal. Tex has better kicks. Better BJJ. Better wrestling. More cardio. Chins who knows...they both have a solid chin.

Te Huna has been given bums thus far in the UFC other than Gustaf. I guess Igor was a solid win. He hasn't beat much of anyone. I was disappointed to see in his last fight that he was stunned, then went straight to wrestler mode for the rest of the fight. He is supposed to be a fearless striker and instead he became TD specialist.

I don't see where Te Huna wins. I think Tex is a much more effective striker. And I think if Tex needs to he can take him down....from there he would have his way with him.

Depends entirely on the odds. I haven't 'capped the fight yet so I have no idea.

I want to see Texeira vs Machida. That would be free money. Texeira would have almost no chance in that fight.

Rashad would beat Texeira too, as sad as that is.

**Rubber Guard** · 03-12-13, 08:24 PM

I'm betting Tex is -300 or so.

**Hannibal** · 03-12-13, 08:30 PM

glover comes out at least -220
te huna is no joke though. I think his best assets here are his wrestling, physical strength, and resilience

Glover should have an edge on the feet but i dont think we've seen him tested against a big strong, athletic wrestler
go down the list of his past 10-15 fights and i dont really see one that fits the bill

**Rubber Guard** · 03-12-13, 09:17 PM

Te Huna isn't a wrestler. Not that I am aware of at least.

**Sacrelicious** · 03-13-13, 04:35 PM

Rory Mac reinjures neck.

**Wanna Bet On It?** · 03-13-13, 04:53 PM

Freddie Roach beat Gunshard to the punch

I agree Machida would be a tough fight....but I think the odds wouldn't be awesome on Machida. Machida was a big favorite over a popular, red hot, Dan Henderson. Machida can beat anyone not named Jones if he plays that prissy style.

I think Tex can beat Rashad. Rashad looks like shit right now. If Rashad can't take down and hold Hendo for 3 rounds I doubt he can do it to a much more athletic, stronger, bigger Tex. We will see there.
