Thoughts?? Predictions??

[TheDfromGC]

this card should be the norm for the ufc, they make millions and millions and somehow only once in a great while is there a card with more then 1 or 2 big fights. more big fights per card= more money for dana to spend

[TheDfromGC]

as for fights though, even though i want ortiz to win way more, i think he'll fall victim to rashads lay and pray. sherk should be able to take his fight. and nogeuiros fight with herring is a joke, will be surprised if herring gets out of the first round

[TR'05]

Silva- TKO Round 3.....gut feeling it goes the other way, though. I've learnt to not trust those feelings though.
Sherk- Decision
Tito- Decision
Big Nog- Sub in Round 2
Lytle
K-Flo
Frankie Edgar
Bonnar
Gurgel

Exactly what I was thinking! It has been a year of upsets and surprises thus far.. As far as a Tito win,, I just wouldn’t want to see that.. Tito has already had several title shots.. However, I would want to see an undefeated Evans be given a title shot in the near future..

One thing I am looking forward to on Saturday is glancing over at Jenna Jamision's tatas as they glisten in the background!!

[TR'05]

^^Haha, yah buddy....staring I can dig...Tito hittin' that used catcher's mit is another thing all together!

Tito has fought the best the sport has to offer. Rashad just hasn't shown me what he can do yet...his win over Lambert is the only win of note. He's a hell of a wrestler, that's forsure....but that doesn't always translate well...it'll be an interesting fight...definately not deserving of what hype it's getting my the UFC, but interesting nonetheless.

I'm hoping Frankie Edgar puts on another show....his last bout against Tyson Griffin was the fight of the year IMO.

[D-Bo Dre]

"used catcher's mit" Damn, havent heard that in a while..

Frankie Edgar, that his name.. Damn your right, his fight against Tyson was great!! I'll def. be on the look out for that one..

[rar1015]

Silva-submission round 3
Nog-Submission round 1
I could care less about tito but i think Rashad will win by decision.
I also think Hermes will put out an pset and win but submission in the 2nd or 3rd round.

[TR'05]

any of you guys see the UFC All Access with Sean Sherk...what a machine...lol, gassing definately isn't an issue.

[Diablo10000]

sherk is a big 155 imo

The UFC Middleweight Championship will be on the line when champion Anderson “The Spider” Silva brings his Muay Thai skills to the Octagon against the 7-time King of Pancrase, Nate “The Great” Marquardt.

Nate all the way. Nate will TKO Silva in the 2nd rd

That guy's an animal...he and Rich Franklin should have some kind of contest. Can you imagine if BJ Penn trained cardio the way Sherk does?

[TR'05]

Definately an animal. I heard BJ interviewed on Sherdog radio- sounded like a changed man...definately seems to be taking things seriously. Has given up drinking and is focusing on training more than he ever has before, according to him.....this, of course, should worry LW's and WW's IMO.

I'm taking Tito, Silva, and Sherk.

[getpaid]

I'm taking Tito, Silva, and Sherk.

Same here!!

[godkilla]

silva by late rnd sub
sherk by decision
evans by decision
nog by 1st or rnd rnd sub

[(1*)]

if you think silva will submit nate then you don't know much... silva will win by strikes or nate will win by submission.... although the last few i have picked have gone wrong.... lol

[godkilla]

if you think silva will submit nate then you don't know much... silva will win by strikes or nate will win by submission.... although the last few i have picked have gone wrong.... lol

yeah i dont really know awhole lot about nate, so its quite a statement. but who really knows anyways

[rar1015]

any of you guys see the UFC All Access with Sean Sherk...what a machine...lol, gassing definately isn't an issue.

Yeah i saw it and the only thing i was focusing on was Rachelle Leah. She is soooo goddamn gorgeous!!!!

[(1*)]

killa.... it IS possible.. silva is a bjj black belt but he's not as good as nate.. nate was king of pancrase and is nasty with ground game.. aubu dhabi and all... ofcourse as already said with the way some of the past matches have gone who knows,,,

[Quil]

If this match hits the ground, Nate wins. His ground game is excellent, and i think he can G 'n P Anderson into a ref stoppage.

[millionairemurph]

silva, evans,nog and sherk. Sherk is a fvcking beast! I saw the ufc all access what a workout, i got all sweaty sitting on the couch thinking of doing all that shit.
Heath herring is a bum imo. If he fought like he does but was 155 and not a giant he wouldnt even be in the ***...

[millionairemurph]

international fight league.

[$$TML 4 LIFE$$]

Marquardt tko (ref stoppage) 3rd round
Ortiz Decision
Sherk Decision
Nog 1rst round Sub

Also i dont if you guys know this but Tito vs Rashad is the main event for this card. I Know they are hyping this fight up HUGE but i still figured theyd have a title fight as the main event.

[orton4]

dude the silva marquardt fight is so tuff to decide for me... if marquardy decides to ground n pound he can pull out a decision... i dont see him standing and striking with silva... im going with silva in this one i think ko r2 via knees, ortiz and evans is real tuff to call too... im going with ortiz split decision... sherk decision but then again i can see franca pullin off a sub... ha tuff calls man... nog r2 sub via armbar, ken flo sub via triangle choke r2... edgar r2 via rear naked choke... his wrestling is too tough (use to wrestle at all the same tournies in hs and college, hes a great addition to the ufc lw div) and bonnar by tko r1 via punches

[sooners04]

Tito 2nd Rd TKO
Sherk 1st Rd TKO
Silva 2nd KO
Do I even have to say anything about Nog-Herring, sheeesh!

[alan7890]
