Machida will beat Shogun

[illmatick]

Machida will beat Shogun

sharp post, safe to say this will be the best card of the year imo

[ecpenguin]

Machida will beat Shogun

I don't know about that. I'll be rooting for Machida and I think he will still end up being a slight favorite, but Shogun is back. In any case, I hope whoever wins, wins fast. I want the battle of the beards (Hendricks vs Grant) to make the PPV broadcast:

"Because the UFC 113 fight card for Montreal continues to be stacked to the gills with a bevy of great match-ups, the Rashad Evans (14-1-1) vs. Quinton Jackson (30-7) grudge match will likely be moved to UFC 114 on May 29 in Las Vegas"

Yahoo Sports.

[The HOFF]

After much recent speculation that the UFC's return to Montreal might be filling a different spot on your day planner, UFC president Dana White has confirmed a switch to Yahoo! Sports.

UFC 113 has been pushed back one week from its planned date of May 1 and will now take place on May 8, though no adjustment has been made to the planned venue of Montreal's Bell Centre, host of two previous UFC events.

Even though it appears Davis has lost a step, Goulet has no chin and shouldnt be able to survive three rounds against anyone with any power whatsoever.

[Pabinator]

This looks like a great card if it does happen, only thing better would be putting James Toney in against Kimbo, that would be a fun night

[The HOFF]

A light-heavyweight match-up between former UFC lightweight champion Forrest Griffin (17-6 MMA, 8-4 UFC) and recent Brazilian import Antonio Rogerio Nogueira (18-3 MMA, 1-0 UFC), otherwise known as "Lil Nog," is in the works for the recently rescheduled UFC 113 event in Montreal.

[The HOFF]

UFC president Dana White confirmed that a previously reported bout between "The Ultimate Fighter 10" cast members Kevin "Kimbo Slice" Ferguson (4-1 MMA, 1-0 UFC) and Matt Mitrione (1-0 MMA, 1-0 UFC) will take place in May at UFC 113.

[Tree Rollins]

I don't know about that. I'll be rooting for Machida and I think he will still end up being a slight favorite, but Shogun is back. In any case, I hope whoever wins, wins fast. I want the battle of the beards (Hendricks vs Grant) to make the PPV broadcast:

Johny Henricks is going to be a force.

[Cappy]

I really like this card, it's going to be a good one

[The HOFF]

Middleweights Tim "Crazy" Credeur (12-3 MMA, 3-1 UFC) and Tom "The Filthy Mauler" Lawlor (6-2 MMA, 3-1 UFC) are expected to clash at UFC 113.

The news was first reported Tuesday by the Underground, a popular mixed martial arts forum, and subsequently confirmed to MMAjunkie.com by sources close to the fight. Verbal agreements are in place between the fighters, and bout agreements are expected to be signed shortly.

Glad to see the Mexicutioner is back after that slap KO to Rolles Gracie. Probably the most humiliating finish in the UFC.

[The HOFF]

May's UFC 113 event will get a late addition with a middleweight fight pitting Nick Catone (8-2 MMA, 2-2 UFC) vs. John Salter (4-1 MMA, 0-1 UFC).

Sources close to the event told MMAjunkie.com bout agreements have been distributed and signed by at least one fighter.

A middleweight bout pitting Nick Catone vs. John Salter is official for May's UFC 113 preliminary card and completes the event's 11-bout lineup.

MMAjunkie.com first reported the fight earlier this month, and UFC executives recently made it official.

[Vaughany]

Cote as underdog...interesting! Presumably due to his long lay off...I still think he could TKO Belcher so will put a small play on him if he is at evens. Small play on Mitrione as well. Medium play on Stout and Big play on Irish Hand Grenade beating Goulet and Corvin beating the Mexicutioner!

[Vrakas]

griffin will most likely get knocked out.

[Vaughany]

griffin will most likely get knocked out.

Which Griffin?? He's not on this card!

[doubleleg]

I like Belcher, Cote has had that long layoff.

[doubleleg]

Machida too, I think he'll fill in some holes from the previous fight.

[doubleleg]

Oh and Rashad, Rampage hasn't seemed that into training lately. Although Thiago Silva gave him fits and he won't be able to outwrestle Rampage.
