Very Split..
http://www.sherdog.com/news/articles...aynard-2-29107
Main card
Lightweight Championship bout: Frankie Edgar (c) vs. Gray Maynard
Going with the Champ here. Yes he lost to Maynard before but Frankie is a different fighter now, he's really hitting his stride in all areas i think. This should be a battle though. I expect it to go 5 with both guys having their moments. Frankie will outpace him by decision..
Middleweight bout: Chris Leben vs. Brian Stann
Stann is tough and dangerous, trained by Greg Jackson. Could go either way but i expect a stand up battle and Leben usually wins those so i go Leben by KO or decision..
Light Heavyweight bout: Brandon Vera vs. Thiago Silva
I've been suckered in by Vera one time too many. Silva better kick his ass and get him outta the UFC already.. Sucks because I used to be a fan of him but he never delivers in big fights..
Welterweight bout: Nate Diaz vs. Dong Hyun Kim
Nate wins a ty decision..
Lightweight bout: Clay Guida vs. Takanori Gomi
Guida blankets his way to another W..
Damn you Stringer don't make me get suckered in by Vera again..![]()
Some last minute reading... http://sports.yahoo.com/mma/news;_yl..._rematch_Jones
"I for sure did not give Mr. Jones the respect that he deserves," Vera said. "I remember thinking when I was underneath him. I remember being off in my own world while he was throwing elbows and missing. I was holding his wrists and thinking, 'Geez. Really? All the hype was about you? This is what you have to offer on the ground? Really?' And I remember thinking, 'You [expletive] suck,' but before I finished the word 'suck,' the elbow came down on my face and smashed my face.
"That's when I realized right then and there. I said, 'That's what you get you bas . That's what you get for thinking you're so ahead of the game.' For sure I didn't respect him the way I should have. That was a hard lesson to learn, but I promise I learned that one."
I stick by my prediction that Vera kicks Thiago's legs out. It's either FoTN or a leg kicking snooze fest but Vera will win.
He bruised Randy pretty good and unless Thiago smothers him against the cage, Vera is too quick to get caught by a hook. C'mon, switch that pick!![]()
Alright i am gonna switch it but Vera is either the most arrogant fighter alive or the most delusional...
Main card
Lightweight Championship bout: Frankie Edgar (c) vs. Gray Maynard
Maynard thinks he is so much better then Frankie - hopefully Edgar will find a way to win with his striking and TDD
Middleweight bout: Chris Leben vs. Brian Stann
Prediction- a war. Gotta see this
Light Heavyweight bout: Brandon Vera vs. Thiago Silva
Welterweight bout: Nate Diaz vs. Dong Hyun Kim
He'd better kick Diaz ass !!!!!!!!!!!! I hate this guy. A nd funny stuff when Gomi was asked about facing Diaz and he did not knew who Nate is
Lightweight bout: Clay Guida vs. Takanori Gomi
Hate Guida. Damn I hate him
Preliminary card
Lightweight bout: Marcus Davis vs. Jeremy Stephens
Featherweight bout: Josh Grispi vs. Dustin Poirier
Middleweight bout: Phil Baroni vs. Brad Tavares
Featherweight bout: Mike Brown vs. Diego Nunes
Welterweight bout: Daniel Roberts vs. Greg Soto
Lightweight bout: Jacob Volkmann vs. Antonio McKee
Diaz looked like crap for the first two rounds, mostly cuz Kim is one of a grappler. Tbh, I didn't think he was that good against Amir cuz I don't rank Amir too high, but against a gamer like Diaz and eating those punches, he looked pretty good. He should fight Thiago Alves next!
Damn, Vera coming out to that Kanye track has me pumped. I've always thought he was a y but I like how he's owned up to it. Let's give him a chance, WAR VERA!!
Nahhh, Thiago is a for keeping it on the ground with puppy punches. On the feet Vera has picked him apart.
Vera's losing
Vera needed to talk to a sports psychologist cuz he froze to death on his back. Jones traumatized him, for real. On his feet he was great, but anywhere else he was slapped.
Hey it was all me. I used to love Vera so all it took was one positive take to get me to go with him yet again. In 2006 after he murdered
Mir i thought he might be the future HW champ but he has been on a steady decline ever since. He's another guy with loads of talent that can't deal with adversity. Vera's MMA career looks done..
And it's a shame..
