UFC 117 silva vs sonnen

Vrakas · 04-25-10, 03:47 PM

i hope that sonnen beats the crap out of silva.

GoGoGadget · 04-25-10, 07:47 PM

What do you think the Almeida/Hughes line will open at?

brooks85 · 04-25-10, 08:04 PM

not sure but almeida is going to wreck him. I cant pretend I have a clue how the oddmakers will approach this matchup. I do know the line should have almeida has a solid favorite but i would love to see him under -200. This will be a very large bet for me.

brooks85 · 05-13-10, 01:13 AM

Thiago Silva vs Tim boestch
ben saunders vs dennis hallman
clay guida vs dos anjos
JDS vs Big country

im pumped for this card, thiago is back in action after suffering 3 herniated disc going into the rashad fight. However, he is coming off a serious surgery.

Pabinator · 05-13-10, 11:19 AM

THE_LOCKSMITH · 05-23-10, 03:23 AM

Thiago Alves Vs Jon Fitch
Junior Dos Santos Vs Roy Nelson
Ricardo Almeida (close enough) Vs Matt Hughes
Rafael Dos Anjos Vs Clay Guida
Thiago Silva Vs Tim Boetsch

Shane · 05-23-10, 09:40 AM

yeah i would jump on anything under -200 also but i can't see that line happening

Kaladarus · 05-24-10, 10:20 AM

This card might be better than 116 when it is done.

JuicedUp · 05-24-10, 10:29 AM

hughes is done.

Almeida is going to dominate.

need4speed · 05-24-10, 10:46 AM

Great card all around.

MadTiger · 05-24-10, 11:27 AM

Silva is going to whoop Chip Worthington III's ass. Book it.

nikeboyz · 05-24-10, 11:29 AM

Silva hands down

brooks85 · 05-24-10, 05:38 PM

ya this card is looking awesome. Dont forget hallman/saunders.

I was so close to betting hallman his last fight and as I was reading the play by play started to regret it until he got ko'd in the final seconds from a horseshit standup by the ref. I look forward to the line movement on this one, saunders should get a ton of action. No doubt saunders is dangerous on the feet but I could see hallman re-fitch-ing him and should be a solid underdog come fight night.

Fitch did that to Thiago Alves and a lot of other better fighters than Saunders... he's a very good wrestler and very strong, hallman is a sub grappler, is gonna give up probably both size and strength.

brooks85 · 05-25-10, 04:59 PM

i love your keen ability to state the obvious while simultaneously injecting no useful information.
Fitch fought thiago? fitch is a good wrestler? Hallman is a grappler?

dam, I am going to have too do my homework

and what exactly do you think the goal of a grappler is? Do you think he is going to go for sub while they are standing up throwing strikes? Dennis will be going for takedowns and doing LnP, as he did with howard, as fitch did too saunders.
If saunders cant stop the takedown, its going to be fitch all over again unless hallman does in fact get a sub. Which is a solid possibity, saunders has not fought someone with the sub game like dennis.

This fight comes down to saunders clinch and reach because if he can't work the two, he will be on his back.

Sources close to the event today told MMAjunkie.com that Dustin Hazelett has signed to face rising prospect Rick Story at UFC 117.

hahaha! I think Anderson Silva wins this fight. He tends to beat up American's pretty badly.

Shane · 05-27-10, 11:56 PM

I have a feeling Sonnen gets this thing to the ground... and then gets submitted faster than you can blink.

He's a very emphatic tapper. Arm flailing, screaming at the top of his lungs.

THE_LOCKSMITH · 06-02-10, 01:52 PM

Man this guy talks shit about almost everyone

playa420 · 06-02-10, 03:40 PM

Chaels such a ****ing cocksucker, who the **** does he think he is. I hate when guys talk shit and they no they cant back it up.Its gonna be sweet to see Anderson beat this asshole up.-425 is alot of juice but i dont see how silva could lose to chael.

brooks85 · 06-02-10, 03:46 PM

reminds me of king mo but at least chael can compete. I wouldn't be surprised if he wins round 1, silva usually needs to get pissed before he starts striking.

dooman14 · 06-02-10, 09:08 PM

anderson silva by devistating KO!!!!

Varker · 06-04-10, 12:02 AM

Sonnen got super cocky after beating Marquardt.

Shane · 06-04-10, 12:54 PM

No, he was calling out Silva long before the Marquardt victory. This act has been going on for a while. I just don't think anyone (myself included) thought this fight would come to fruition.

brooks85 · 06-07-10, 09:58 AM

add

Struve vs Christian Morecraft

new guy is 6'8'' 260

Shane · 06-07-10, 01:42 PM

MMAJunkie has him at 6'5 265. Either way, intriguing prospect and an intriguing fight for the prelims.

I wish this wasnt the case, but he needs to just stick to coaching now.
