Ye I'd take Stann again if he's the dog which I expect. IMO Bisping would of won that Wanderlei fight if not for the late flurry from Silva. Stann is a more powerful version of Bisping who can defintely knock the aging Wanderlei out if he times a counter. Also gotta take in to account that by time fight comes around it will of been over 13 months since Wanderlei's last fight which was against Bisping in Feb 2010. Stann meanwhile has fought 3 times since beginning of Feb 2010.

I would def. take Stann as well

NickBaragona · 02-03-11, 10:40 PM

Exactly what I was thinking, Stann should win against an aging Vanderlei. Hopefully he will be an underdog!

Varker · 02-03-11, 10:59 PM

good matchup for stann. definitely like him in that fight.

clarkd32 · 02-03-11, 11:07 PM

the main event could be the fight i am least interested in seeing....

terpkeg · 02-04-11, 12:10 AM

128/129/130 are all ooking great to me, but this may be the best one. too bad in wasnt in NJ.

Is Silva coming off injury? Can't recall off top of my head, but seems like long layoff.

I have to watch Maynard and Edgar again? I thought Dana said there wouldn't be a 3rd fight right away.

Yes because the last fight was such an anti-climax!

xelance · 02-04-11, 10:57 AM

are you guys serious? ( I know you arent Vaughany!) How can you not be excited for Maynard, Edgar 3? The last fight between those two was one of the best fights I have ever seen. They know how to put on a show and will do so next time.

stefan084 · 02-04-11, 10:58 AM

I like Edgar in this fight. If he doesn't get tagged in the first round last time he wins the fight going away.Plus I think Maynards conditioning will fail him again. Honestly I don't know how Maynard caught him the first time. Maynard has some power but I don't think he's that fast. I can't hate Franky anymore just because he beat BJ (once IMO) because he has great heart. I kept thinking, how did Maynard catch him and BJ couldn't when I think BJ's striking is technically far superior to Maynards. If its anywhere close to even after 3 Franky will dominate 4 and 5 I believe then probably its off to Pettis next. On a side note my buddy and I always make side bets etc. while watching the fights and he gave me 10/1 against a draw.(5dimes had draw approximately 100/1) so naturally I took it for an easy 5 bucks and ended up paying the moron 50 bucks when the draw hit. I'll ask him to give me those odds again for 126 and see what he says

xelance · 02-04-11, 11:03 AM

Pettis has to get through Guida first, and that wont be an easy fight for him.

I dont know how anybody can not be excited to see Edgar in any fight, he has more heart and determination than any other dude in the business.

xelance · 02-04-11, 11:27 AM

agreed, Frankie Edgar has an amazing will that cannot be matched...I have tons of respect for him.

SlingShot · 02-04-11, 11:42 AM

frankie should dominated this game to make a statement.. he got busted in his previous fight with maynard.. but i still believe frankie will get this rematch..

GoldRush7 · 02-04-11, 06:15 PM

Rampage will KO Silva!

Should be a good fight, but I agree Rampage by KO.

Landscaper · 02-04-11, 06:22 PM

Hope to god Edger gets his ass kicked, but I know the fight will be very close

iQon · 02-05-11, 01:58 AM

Ah yes, the last fight was close so the next will repeat itself. Remind me to go all in on the Draw prop later.

Give me a break. Edgar/Pettis, Maynard/Guida, winner of both fights towards the end of the year. Maynard, as the challenger, squandered the prospect of an immediate rematch by letting up and assuming he had already won the fight in the 5th round.

Vaughany · 02-12-11, 03:25 AM

Miguel Torres vs Brad Pickett added.

Jorge Santiago will also be on card.

Lookin awesome!

Very cool. Pickett will be a good dog. Santiago back is very cool.

Eccocide · 02-12-11, 01:09 PM

Santiago to make his debut vs. Brian Stann

Updated Card:

MAIN CARD

Champ Frankie Edgar vs. Gray Maynard (for lightweight title)
Matt Hamill vs. Quinton "Rampage" Jackson*
Jorge Santiago vs. Brian Stann*
Frank Mir vs. Roy Nelson
Thiago Alves vs. Rick Story

PRELIMINARY CARD

Brad Pickett vs. Miguel Torres*
Travis Browne vs. Stefan Struve

Wanderlei has been calling out Belfort and Belfort has said he wants to do it. So all signs point to that fight happening at a later date.

Vaughany · 02-12-11, 02:46 PM

Yeah Belfort vs Wanderlei at Rio event surely.

Yeah hopefully get Pickett at +200

Pin2Win · 02-15-11, 11:19 AM

This card is looking very good, really hope Edgar wins this one! But both fighters are great and every fight they have is exciting where the fight takes place on the feet and ground!

Thank the Lord, at last somebody who doesnt think Edgar is a "pussy-dick"!

brooks85 · 02-15-11, 12:41 PM

i hope belfort gets his wish tho, he said he wanted to fight before rio and there is plenty of time.

Birdman126 · 02-15-11, 04:31 PM

I have to admit. The UFC has been spoiling us for a while now. Real excited for this card.

I think Edgar will stick and move and win decisively for sure. Quinton, Stann and Alves should also get a W. And for me mir vs nelson is a toss up at this point.

Vaughany · 02-24-11, 02:30 PM

Odds are out for main card:

omalley21 · 02-24-11, 02:37 PM

Wow Im gonna go big on rampage and stann. I think Nelson wins too.

Shane · 02-24-11, 02:38 PM

Anyone else liking Hamill at those odds? I could see him taking Quinton down and grinding out a decision. Hell, same for Story over Alves.

Id rather wait for Hamill by decision prop for better value personally as I think he only has less than 20% chance of finishing Rampage.

NickTheGrip · 02-25-11, 03:16 AM

i dont think he finishes rampage
