Thiago gets his haircut at the barber shop I go to.

He's a nice guy.

I bet a hundred on him...not because I have "a feeling," but because I think he's the better fighter

RobbReport · 01-02-10, 05:32 PM

I expect a gunshy Rashad to wrestle his way into a win.

Sledge187 · 01-02-10, 06:07 PM

I have no idea who will win this Rashad vs Silva fight. Both these guys might be top 5 LHW in the world. Looking forward to seeing Junior Dos Santos again. He killed an over the hill Cro Cop last time out. This guy could be the real deal.

SamsonSharp · 01-02-10, 06:15 PM

A lot of people forget the Chuck fight was even and Shad was losing the Forrest fight before the knockout. With that being said, I think this one will be hard to predict. Silva has a punching chance... But thats about all I give him. I except Evans to start using his wrestling again and get the Win

My pick: Rashad Evans

knownone · 01-02-10, 06:48 PM

Silva wins this easy and quick, I don't think Rashad is half as good as people think he's fought 2 overrated fighters in Forrest and Bisbing and 2 washed up fighters in Liddell and Ortiz; Silva has solid takedown D great BJJ and heavy hands. I'd be suprised if Rashad takes this.

waco66 · 01-02-10, 09:26 PM

Wow...Paul Daley went from -110 to +132 at bookmaker.

+1000 odds on him winning by submission lol...-110 forHazellet who is a sick submission artist

waco66 · 01-02-10, 09:27 PM

I think i might bet on Paul Daley aswell. Just to make watching that fight fun. If Paul Daley keeps it standing, he should win.

Junior Dos Santos is a sick fighter! cant wait to see him fight aswell! Yvel has a punchers chanse...if that.

cmh329 · 01-02-10, 11:25 PM

I think Evans takes it tonight, but Silva certainly has a shot and its not a bad play.

waco66 · 01-02-10, 11:39 PM

woooohooo Paul Daley..Cha Ching!

Bread · 01-02-10, 11:49 PM

Daley and Dos Santos are beasts.

All over Rashad for 5 units, and to complete a parlay I did with Munoz.

Cougar Bait · 01-03-10, 12:22 AM

I can't believe Silva...he actually had a shot to win that thing in the 3rd. Looked like he was about one or two good punches away from ending it. I bet you were getting pissed. But Evans took the first 2 rounds easily so cash that shit!

Bread · 01-03-10, 12:24 AM

I'll take that winner!! yay!

brooks85 · 01-03-10, 12:24 AM

thiago is the new santa clause, giving out late xmas gifts.

cmh329 · 01-03-10, 12:26 AM

Silva acted like a complete idiot. He could have got Evans, but I'll take it.

knownone · 01-03-10, 12:26 AM

Didn't expect Rashad to hug his way to victory, Kinda upset but I don't blame Thiago the UFC favors wrestlers and it showed tonight, he was hesitant to be taken down and didn't throw his hands until he was down 2-0 had a chance to finish it and wore himself out.

mmike032 · 01-03-10, 12:27 AM

wow,
WTF was Silva thinking.

Suga Evans got Suga Ray Leonard'd

brooks85 · 01-03-10, 12:30 AM

I give evans full props for his game plan, it is about time he uses it and it was the only reason i didnt bet big on thiago

Maybe, thiago will finally start game planning, instead of just brawling. Rashad set his tds up the same way almost everytime and thiago did nothing to counter. Everytime shad came in with those looping punches too set up his td, thiago should have been delivering straights down the center, especially after shad landed about 4 tds, it was apparent thiago wasn't going to stop him. So try to make him pay when he comes in because your sprawl was not working.

waco66 · 01-03-10, 12:31 AM

WOW. evans is trying to be the new gsp! btw...great end...its just sad that evans probably landed a total of 10 shots ended up winning.

boring first two rounds...great third rounds...but i still profited tonight a small amount because of daley..congrats to all who scored on evans! hopefully we all won tonight.

Agreed, Rashad undoubtedly earned the win even though I don't enjoy that kind of win it is what it is.
I think Thiago needs a new camp listening to his corner they didn't have a clue what to tell him and it was obvious.

RobbReport · 01-03-10, 01:46 AM

Thiago mimicking Rashad is classic.

Trixie · 01-05-10, 03:06 AM

James Toney would whup this clown.

brooks85 · 01-05-10, 11:02 AM

I look forward to the page/shad matchup, I can make my money back I lost on thiago.

Rashad is going have nothing on Page and will get KOd. The best thing rashad has going for him would any ring rust Page might have.

Pabinator · 01-05-10, 03:51 PM

Rashad looked very intimidated by Silva's power. I think he did the right thing & enough to win a boring ugly decision

Dad · 01-06-10, 06:15 PM

Rashad should been finished right here. Lucky for him Thiago got gassed.

Busterflywheel · 01-06-10, 09:09 PM

Damn Big Big $$$

Pabinator · 01-07-10, 02:47 PM

Not lucky, he shoulda been in shape & finished him

Exactly. Lucky for Rashad he couldnt finish him.

Interesting stat, Silva landed 67 strikes to Rashads 21.

yup..but takedowns win rounds sadly. rashad's striking that everyone raves about...is not that great.

oh well..on to ufc fight night!

Sad or not, you can't deny the fact that Rashad was better in 2 out of 3 rounds...

Depends on what you mean by better.
Round 1 Thiago landed 21 strikes Rashad landed 8 Rashad also took Thiago down 4 times yet did absolutely nothing with his takedowns.
Round 2 Thiago landed 22 strikes Rashad again lands 8 attempts 7 takedowns lands 3 again Thiago got right up after being taken down.
Round 3 needs no explaination.

Rashad won by exploiting a flawed system, He landed 7 strikes on Thiago while on the ground and took him down 8 times he passed Thiagos gaurd once in the fight and almost got arm barred.
Yet becuase takedowns are overvalued Rashad won.
