Ufc 101
 
only a few days away and we dont have a thread yet, im actually more excited about this card than 100.

i think the theme of most people rationale for their picks will be heart vs mind. what i mean is the two guys i want to win i couldnt put $ on them if i had to

im pulling for florian the dude has looked so good the last few years... and i do think he has the skills atleast striking to beat BJ but...... BJ is a proven top tier fighter the GSP fight just proves where GSP is right now as a fighter doesnt mean BJ isnt dominate at 155 still. i think with BJ's back against the wall he will come out very aggressive and try to recapture what he did agaisnt sherk or stevenson. im calling 1-2nd round KO/TKO for Penn. but im pulling for kenflo 100% if BJ Penn isnt back to his old self florian IS the guy to beat him ... but i have this feeling he might be one of those guys who gets to the top but cant close the deal

forrest same thing i love the guy and he is smash mouth tough with no excuses...but silva is well silva. i think the only thing he is guilty of is fighting to the level of his opponents. the last 2 guys didnt/wouldnt/couldnt engage him so anderson chose to just go with it, i think it has to do with his personality he was more interested in being technically sound than putting on a show. from a fans point of view that sucks but from his point of view the view that really counts he did what he had to do....with that said forrest is gonna come after him and i think it will reawken the fighter everyone says is #1 in the world. so i got silva all the way in this. not sure how though. its only 3 rounds so it could go the distance..forrest is a tough guy, but if i had to make a call i would say if forrest gets him down like everyone says he has to do he would get caught in a submission trying to do something of his own while on the ground ala dan henderson.


what are your picks? anyone think forrest has any chance?

Penn 2nd round TKO
Silvia - ? round Submission
Amir Sadollah i guess will win he hasnt even fought yet since TUF so hard to say

INSURANCE101 08-05-2009 03:19 PM

since florian cheats with behind the head elbows im going with penn, eventhough i know florian is the best fit fighter..

SILVA is going to show griffin what UFC is all about. and the other fights, who cares.

Chupacabra 08-05-2009 03:20 PM

Penn 2nd round submission
Silva 1st round TKO

FIGHT DAY THREAD REVIVAL

I won't comment on Penn Florian because what I want to happen and what I think will happen are two different things.

Silva by TKO Round 3.

Everyone came in at or under weight, all fighters seemed healthy enough. Let's go.

mad props molamann. rep rep

I knew silva would win, but I didn't expect an ass whoopin like that. That was like some huge uncle messing around with his kid nephew.

frost 08-09-2009 12:19 PM

^ on the flip side, I thought Penn would have had an easier time.

Anderson : Griffin
Me : My 4 yr old

That was just laughable. He toyed with him and then broke his jaw. Ugly.

And Penn is way ahead of anyone at 155. I can't stand him but who's going to beat him?

GSP :tup:

Matt Hughes beat him the last time.

ct63084 08-09-2009 07:12 PM

Yeah silva is really really good lol this fight just gets to show you how bad of a boxers most mma fighters are. I still put GSP ahead just a tiny bit at the no.1 just cause GSP has fought the best on his division. But i think that's going to change soon i want a Machida/Rampage vs Silva.

GSP and Matt Hughes are in WW not only that, huge ones too.

Anyways, people argue that Spider is excelling in a division outside his native weight class(MW) but

1. He's a big MW that naturally walks around at 220.
2. So far Spider's fought James Irvin(lol) and an ex-champion(Forrest) that hasn't even defended the belt in LHW whereas Penn fought 2 dominating WW champions at the time.

CBRich 08-09-2009 08:35 PM

I agree. Silva is a large MW but I don't think that means as much considering a lot of the LHW are cutting just as much as he is, Forrest especially.

I think the biggest difference between Silva's foray into LHW and Penn's into WW is the skill level you pointed out. Penn has stepped into a larger class against very dominant champions, Silva has not.

ct63084 08-09-2009 09:06 PM

Yeah as much as BJ is hated in the MMA world the guy has fought big talented fighters machida,gsp and hughes those are some really really good fighters. Silva still hasn't fought a single fighter with the caliber of those three with the debatable exception of rich franklin.

MC 08-09-2009 10:31 PM

if you guys just missed it you need to go watch that WEC fight that was just on Versus Channel

Bowles V Torres. that was better than all of UFC 101.

CBRich 08-12-2009 05:23 PM

Frank Mir got pretty quiet when Torres got KTFO.

bboypuertoroc 08-12-2009 05:33 PM

What a waste.

WTF happened with Griffin? Is there like some reason why he dropped after a jab?

And WTF is that **** coming from K Flo's knee?

A certain fight with a certain Rampage comes to mind.
