I think Rashad will get it done too. He won't stand with Shogun much, and Shogun has be taken down and controlled. Rashad has shown really goto submission defense.
Please let it be Shogun by knee bar.

I am not convinced that Shogun won't gas. Shogun has been taken down and controlled before, even by an old gassed Mark Coleman @ UFC 93. Lots of people say "Shogun is back!" after the Machida/Liddell fights, but I don't think he was ever completely "gone". He went from Pride to the UFC, ring to the cage, etc etc. Just because he didn't gas in a stand up fight with Machida doesn't mean he won't gas against an athletic wrestler in Rashad. Rashad can wear Shogun up against the cage, and on the mat. Oh, and for the record I hope Shogun wins.
^^ The Forrest fight is what makes me think he will lose.

Who knows what shape Rua's knee will be in.
This fighter's too much of a gamble based on how healthy Shogun turns up.
Rashad
- Knows he's a wrestler now and won't try to stand and bang like he did vs. Machida
- Shogun's never had the greatest TDD
On the other hand, Rashad's weakness has been shown to be the 3rd round. Gets clipped/gassed badly vs. Rampage and Thiago Silva. 5 Rounds is plenty of time for him to get caught.
Yeah Rashad does get caught a lot, but Shogun's wrestling stinks. He might be out of shape for this too.
1 unit = 300 $
Depending on how long his knee surgery takes.
1 unit = 300 $
2u on Evans, but I hope Rua wins. Rashad will control him with his wrestling. Unlike Rampage and Silva, if Rua clips him he will finish, unless he's gassed. Im banking on Evans being able to control him though, and Rua may gas.
Fuck I think evans has a LOT of value at +150. Not sure I can pull the trigger since Shogun's my favorite fighter
A welterweight match-up has been added to the upcoming UFC 128 card in New Jersey as Mike Pyle and Ricardo Almeida have agreed to meet on the March 19 show.
The fight was confirmed to MMAWeekly.com by sources close to the match-up who stated verbal agreements are in place for the UFC 128 showdown.
