best card in a while
good to see Kendall Grove back
This card doesn't really do it for me. The main event and co-main event are both gimmes. 113 and 114 are more exciting, imho.
You guys think Maia has any chance against Silva? If he can get past his strikes and get him down, i give the fight to him. Seeing as how he got handled with strikes in about 20 seconds the last time i saw him fight, i have my doubts.
I'm not sure if you're being sarcastic, but definitely not one of the better cards in recent memory. The Champions are not defending against legitimate contenders (sorry, but it's the truth) and there's no telling where Hughes and Gracie are anymore (though very respected as fighters).
It's a good card if you like one-sided ass kicking, but a bad card if you like compe ion.
I wouldn't have called it "getting handled with strikes". A one punch loss isn't that unimpressive to me. Not calling Marquardt lucky but I didn't see it as dominating
Maia will shock the world.
If he gets it down, then he could.. We'll see how Silva approaches this one..

No chance. Silva is the Ali of mma right now. As untouchable as it gets.. No one all the way up to HW can touch him
For every Ali there's a Frazier.
Middleweight Championship bout: Anderson Silva (c) vs. Demian Maia--Yeah...sorry Demian
Lightweight Championship bout: B.J. Penn (c) vs. Frankie Edgar--HAHAHAHA. Frankies a nice fighter...but please
Welterweight bout: Matt Hughes vs. Renzo Gracie
Lightweight bout: Terry Etim vs. Rafael dos Anjos
Light Heavyweight bout: Alexander Gustafsson vs. Phil Davis--Just had to pick Phil Davis...he has a bright future!
Id really like to see Maia take this fight to the ground and see if he can beat Silva
Middleweight Championship bout: Anderson Silva (c) vs. Demian Maia
- Silva will punish him, but there's always a chance of submission even when the window is very small and Maia must work quickly if he wants it.
Lightweight Championship bout: B.J. Penn (c) vs. Frankie Edgar
- There might be a delay before the Silva match while the crew cleans Edgar's face off the octagon floor.
Welterweight bout: Matt Hughes vs. Renzo Gracie
- I think Hughes is stronger and gets a decision, but Renzo's a cool dude.
Lightweight bout: Terry Etim vs. Rafael dos Anjos
- Been waiting for Etim to get a legit spot on a card, he's finished his last 3 fights and his length has made sure he's never been finished himself. Strikes is the only way Anjos can get a win, I don't see Etim letting him get in close enough.
Middleweight bout: Kendall Grove vs. Mark Munoz
- Pretty even match-up, but Munoz has a real chance to get to the next level with a good win here.
Silva
Penn
Etim
Grove
Hughes
Middleweight Championship bout: Anderson Silva (c) vs. Demian Maia
Could be boring if Silva waits this out or could be quick if Maia is dumb enough to push the pace like he did with Nate and got KTFO..
Lightweight Championship bout: B.J. Penn (c) vs. Frankie Edgar
Easy fight for BJ, there is no real compe on for him at LW anymore..
Welterweight bout: Matt Hughes vs. Renzo Gracie
Boring fight, Hughes needs to fight some contenders or call it a career already.
Lightweight bout: Terry Etim vs. Rafael dos Anjos
Middleweight bout: Kendall Grove vs. Mark Munoz
Nice delete DB, but no way Lesnar or Carwin stand a chance vs Anderson. He is way to fast. Silva would bob and weave any slow ass punch they bring and counter with a 3 piece. Im not sure he could finish either one unless he lands a solid blow to the jaw or gets a cut but Silva wins 9 out of 10. To fast to get taken down.
So you were including HW, i was not sure if i misread that so i deleted it..
But. IF Anderson gets taken down by Thale Leites and held down then Brock is going to rape his ass. Watch the Thales fight and you'll see what i mean. I don't care if Thales held him down for 3 seconds, imagine what Brock will do?? Hendo got him down and won Round 1 against Anderson. Anderson could hang with HW guys who are strikers but not the great wrestlers and GNP guys. Sure he wants to fight Mir, because his wrestling is and he knows he is a better striker. Anderson is amazing, nobody is saying otherwise, but there are weight classes for a reason. What Brock did to Mir, he does to Anderson
Takedown, does damage in half guard, works him to the cage, short punches
KO night night..
Lesnar's shot is not quick enough to take down Anderson. And Brock wants nothing to do with that clinch. And frank mir is irrelevant. silva would destroy him
Anyone who says Spider can honestly hang in there with Lesnar, and win no less, better be joking. Like db said there are weight classes for a reason
Silva would be smothered by Carwin and Brock, and Cain would toss him like a baby. Silva's power and speed works on guys his size, not the big boys.
