What i think is sonnen should throw 1 or 2 strikes and make anderson lean back so hes maybe off balance and then shoot,easier said than done imho

Anderson is never off balance. Chael will try to take anderson down the same way he does everyone else. Shoot and power through till anderson is down or they hit the cage.

It's a shame that there's no Spike Pre-Lim show tonight because Davis v Wallace and Story v McLovin should be superb!

Its on 118 instead. Etim / J Lauzon & Harris / Sakara are the fights.

Saw that. Doubt that will be a spike fight. Andre Winner may get the nob to fight on the Spike Card.

a lot of people seem to thing so, but i think the addition of Ruediger makes it MORE attractive for Spike to show it considering they're both TUF guys.

But you're probably right.

Man, i'd love to see Joe smash his stupid face!

unknown13

If a mod doesn't fix the title. Just use the spoiler function, I think it will be the best thing to do.

Bets for tonight:

Nelson by submission @ 12.5

Silva by submission @ 5.6.

Not bad value bets.

JUST CHECKING IF I COULD DO THIS

Hang on a second talking about TUF 5 and 118

Diaz, Maynard, Lauzon and Ruediger. Plus BJ was one of the Coaches of that Season.

Oh, and isn't Sakara out of this fight too?

Spike's fights will be a crap-shoot!

my money is on dos anjos, almeida and morecraft

only the last one i think is a risk
seen some video on youtube and he does look
promising albeit beating nobodys


i see fitch winning by ud...i hope to fuk im wrong there
theres no way in hell i can see hughes beating almeida.
the mans best days are long behind him
and 4/7 isnt a bad price for this
wouldnt be lumping on Jds at 1/4 though he should do it

i think dos anjos could submit guida and 7/2 for that sounds good to me
as does 11/4 on almeida subbing hughes

and i have a tenner on guida/dos anjos being fotn at 5s
if thats goes 3 rounds its a cert


i see silva/sonn hughes/almeida were shorter prices for fotn..
lets face it...neither of these fights has a hope of winning fotn.
mind you if fat bellys chin holds off jds strikes for three rounds
then thatll be another fotn contender.
im curious about this one myself
fitch/alves 11/2 for fotn....lol
if alves can stay on his feet he'll knock him out
but thats a big if maybe with all the weight cutting.
fitch will do his usual.
Apart from silva i dont think theres anyone i want
to see getting beat so much


as for silva...couldnt be arsed even guessing
doctor will probably stop it for cuts

Sorry for yelling.

Come on guys who doesnt know the drill by now. Spoiler tags for prelims, no spoilers for the main card.

Funny you say that. I see Joe Vedepo is down to face Gerald Harris on Junkie. I don't know will that fight be on spike but Harris got some publicity out of 116 so you never know.

Nothing to do with what you were saying but what are preliminary fights ? Are all of the fights under the sonnen/silva one not prelim's ?

Pre-lims are the ones which aren't on the main card. They're normally called "Unaired Pre-lims" as they don't get shown on the PPV.

I guess the rest are called the "Undercard" like in Boxing. But nobody really uses that term for MMA, we just say Main Card

Pauleta

im predicting (winners in bold)

Anderson Silva vs. Chael Sonnen

Jon Fitch vs. Thiago Alves

Clay Guida vs. Rafael dos Anjos

i agree with you
apart from dos anjos
i really fancy him to beat guida.
i dont think hughes has a prayer but i also
didnt think hamill had a prayer against jardine (im still blaming
the point deduction for that one though)
its the last time i went big on a fight too

Have UFC started to enforce streams alot in terms of PPV's ? No way of watching this on Sky tonight.

Yeah they're getting strict on it but my 116 one didn't fail and neither did the one for Bones V Matyushenko so it's hit and miss.

Was gonna go to sleep, but fcuk it I might as well stay up now!

Reeeeally looking forward to this card, should be a cracker.
