    Werdum is looking awesome just now, Struve may be able to hang with him on the ground but Werdum would destroy him on the feet.

    Dodson * my treble :38:

    Browne was gone after his knee went.

    Aye, but as Hammer said, Brownes knee had gone, and he may not have succumbed to that punch if he had total mobility.

    UFC 153 tonight.


    Main Card
    Weight Class Method Round Time Notes
    Light Heavyweight Anderson Silva vs Stephan Bonnar
    Heavyweight Antônio Rodrigo Nogueira vs Dave Herman
    Light Heavyweight Glover Teixeira vs Fabio Maldonado
    Welterweight Jon Fitch vs Erick Silva
    Light Heavyweight Phil Davis vs Wagner Prado
    Welterweight Demian Maia vs Rick Story

    A relatively interesting card, although there are a few new names for me.Should be good.

    Got the ciders and munch sorted,waiting for the first facebook fights to come on.Started watching the facebook fights recently and there's been some belters,well worth tuning in.It's all about Brazil v USA again tonight,last one in Rio,the Brazilians won every match if i remember correctly,might be a few upsets though.

    How incredible it would be if Bonnar won tonight, not expecting it in the slightest though.

    It would be incredible.I sort of would like it as i like Bonnar, but it would make a mockery of the rankings, as he is no more than a very good journeyman in truth.I think he will give it a go though, as he has balls of steel!

    Hope we can see a few Americans winning tonight, last time the UFC was in Brazil was 142 I think and that night it was a clean sweep for the Brazilians. Would be good to see the hostile crowd being silenced. I think Fitch or Davis have the best chance of doing so. Can't see Silva, Maia or Big Nog losing

    I reckon he's a bit more than a journeyman,he's never been KO'd or submitted,not many fighters can say that.Got a 5 fight accumulator and had to put Bonnar down for the win to get a decent payback,so heres hoping.:icon_mrgreen:

    This is the pair that kicked off last night.
