Other than that you've got a pretty dynamite card. You gonna see it live, or just watch it on TV? Either way, hope you enjoy it. |

I'm surprised this getting show on free to air TV? They must be trying to build a market over here
Is it free in the states or ppv? Not sure who is going to win with Big Nog vs Velasquez. Alot of people wrote Nog off after the Mir loss, including myself, but i wasnt aware at the time he was recovering from staph infection. He shouldnt have fought. I think i will go with Velasquez and his relentless pressure and wrestling. Can definitely see his pace giving Nog alot of openings for the submission though. I think Bisping will outpount Wanderlai, so long as he doesnt circle stupidly into the power zone like he did vs Henderson. Similar situation to the Henderson fight. Bisping cant hurt Wanderlai. He will stick and move. |

Anyone watch the UFC weigh in, if not check it out on ufc.com.
The axe murderer looked so different at the weight. His face isnt so meaty, i found it very odd. Hopefully he puts a beating on Bisping because i am far more interested in watching his fights than the counts And the aussie George Sotiropolous has a wierd chest. It just didnt look right. Cant see him getting past Joe Daddy |

Vasquez is a bad ass he'll whoop lesnar if given the chance.
Silva got a good win over Bisping but prime Wand would have destroyed him. |

Definitely didnt think Velasquez would stop Nog like that. Awesome performance and he is a threat to anyone in the division
After the first round of Bisping vs Silva, i was confident in my prediction. The count almost pulled it off. I had the impression that Silva should have charged him much earlier in the fight. Fighting technically isnt his style and he couldve stopped bisping if he had shown his trademark aggression Big props to Aussie Georges win over Joe Daddy. He dominated the first round This post has been edited by AussieLad: Feb 21 2010, 03:29 AM |

Well have to say that after seeing it live the UFC is the future. That card was STACKED! May not be alphabet soup title fights but every fight was well matched & quality barring the Cro Cop one.
