Demian Maia is facing Rick "the horror" Storey @ UFC 153....This is gonna be the best ppv of the year.


They're gonna be using the "ref cams" like they used in Pride this weekend. I got a feeling Bader's gonna be on "the summer jam screen", if you see what I'm saying.



And I'm old school so I usually give the more experienced guy the nod.....Ill take Fitch by SD...Brazil may give Erick some of that home cooking, though.

Everyone is hoping Erik silva knocks Fitch the fukk out

Fixed

Pros are picking Shogun by a 7 to 2 margin @ Sherdog....if Vera can get those takedowns going, I could see him UD'ing Rua

Vera sucks

Shogun fell the fukk off if he loses this one

 

[FaTaL]

vera has a chance, thats how bad shogun has fell off

it makes me wonder if he was roiding in pride

Didnt he have two pretty serious knee injuries? I know he was coming off surgery when he fought bones, but i couldve sworn he had another one.

Shogun just had a great fight with Hendo tho. Never know which Shogun is gonna show up.

i just think hes done, he hasnt shown anything remotely of what he did in pride

the leg kicks are gone

I think those injuries had something to do with it. But ill admit im a Shogun stan. He went to war with Hendo though. Hopefully after some time to rest he comes back solid.

 

[firemanBk]

He's not the same fighter he was in Pride but he's still a top fighter. Vera is awful, there's really no way Shogun should lose outside of a lucky shot.

 

[TRIPLE M]

Shogun Rua going to slaughter Vera ...he's been looking like shyt for years tko first round

 

[jackswstd]

I can't see Vera winning this fight at all. Even in his last fight with Marshall he looked like shyt and ended up with a broken arm if I'm not mistaken.
