UFC 142

This fight still makes no sense from Johnson's perspective. The only things I came up with are:

1. Dana promised him next crack at the Sonnen-Silva winner if he gets a win

or

2. He's getting a big check and Dana told him if he loses he can go back to 170 and still keep in spot in line for GSP


That's all I got ........

[SPX]

Well they definitely need to find a couple of legit opponents for Silva. There is, of course, Sonnen. But other than him, the only guy who I could see them trying to hype is Cung Le, and he at least needs to beat Wanderlei and get a couple of more wins.

I don't think Cung Le has a shot at beating Anderson Silva, but he is definitely marketable for a fight.

Personally I don't care what Johnson's motivations are or aren't, this is a badass fight.

LOL at Chun Li as title challenger.

I don't think Le would win, but there's not really anyone else. Stann just got shut down by Sonnen. Marquardt's gone. Munoz . . . no. Maia and Belfort have already gotten their chance. Bisping . . . lol.

I guess they could bring Rockhold over and do a champ vs champ match.

LOL at Chun Li as title challenger.

LOL @ Le ever beating a top 15 opponent

UFC NEWS – Palhares Returns Against Massenzio At UFC 142 In Brazi

[SPX]

Thanks for this piece of UFC NEWS.

All in on Palhares.

[Thewisemann]

Thanks for this piece of UFC NEWS.

All in on Palhares.

at a glance Palhares seem about 90% to win this

[SPX]

Yeah, I think Massenzio will need something flukey to win this, because I think Palhares is better everywhere. I'd be happy to get Palhares at anything better than -500.

[Vandelay]

palhares should never be over -300. Bad gastank and iffy striking defense. not to mention he is just begging to get a dq or points taken away. He almost blew it against miller by getting flash koed and then herb dean feeling bad that he jumped on the cage so he let him continue.

[MMA_scientist]

I don't see how Massenzio can beat Palhares, barring a DQ or something weird. Massenzio is not the guy to take advantage of his poor striking defense, if he had poor striking defense. As far as gas tanks go, Massenzio gassed out and git subbed by Brian f'n Stann. Palhares will be at least -500 IMO, and I will probably still bet it.
