Ok, so, ufc 115 in Vancouver looks to be a for sure thing now (collective sigh of relief). Also, the card is taking shape nicely. Couture/Franklin, unfortunately,(previously sched for ufc 115) has been moved to August, and now Thiago Alves vs Jon Fitch will be in Vancouver. I could post the scheduled 115 card now, but things tend to change especially this far out, although the card is pretty much full. btw, this will sell out within 48 hours of tickets being released, possibly 24.
As for ufc 112 in Abu Dabi this weekend....Silva/Maia; I hope Maia but will bet on Silva. I'm not much of a silva fan, unbeleivable talent...but only shows it when he wants to. Silva rd 2 ko. this is hardfight to call as Silva sometimes fights not to hurt fellow brazilian fighters.
BJ Penn/Frankie Edgar; Again, hoping Edgar wins, but BJ is a freak and will not give up his belt without something seriou happening. I think Penn is 8:1 favorite...hell, put down 20$ on Edgar and get a nice payback if Edgar pulls upset of the century. I'm expecting Edgar to give BJ an interesting fight as their fighting styles are similiar. B.J. rd 4 Choke out. Matt Hughes/Renzo Gracie: I hope Hughes gets put in the hospital. lol...not a big Hughes fan. other fights...terry etim vs rafael dosanjos, kendall grove vs Mark munoz,...that's about it for big names. Paul taylor, paul kelly and Damarques Johnson will also be on the card . what do you guys think. agree/disagree
