UFC 147 Brazil, Rich Franklin vs Wanderlei Silva II

[poopoo333]

Sonnen almost KO'd Silva a million times in their first fight.

Erick Silva/Mike Pierce is rumored for this card

I like Chael here.

Sonnen is still on TRT. If your thoughts for him losing are "LOL ROIDS", I'd rethink it.

[Thewisemann]

This is a no bet for me. As of now at least. Sonnen looked horrible vs Bisping.

[Svino]

Wasn't Sonnen +230 or something back when the rematch was first announced? Given the way Silva handled Okami since then, and with Sonnen having some trouble with Bisping, I'd really think the line would be steeper.

Still, it's probably going to be Sonnen or nothing for me on this one. I wouldn't be surprised to see the line tilt toward Silva near fight time.

[SPX]

Did Sonnen look horrible or did Bisping look awesome?

[poopoo333]

Or could Bisping just have better T3D than Anderson Silva??

[Ludo]

Bisping looked great against Sonnen more than Chael looked bad. He actually was able to hold Bisping down for a while more than once after getting him down which is something nobody else has really been able to to do. Even Rashad and Matt Hamill had trouble holding Michael down long enough to really do anything after getting a takedown.

[edman5555]

Yeah I think bisping is just pretty good all around, big, strong, and has good takedown defense.

Line guesses on Werdum/Russow?

I bet Werdum opens at -500. I'll still play him.

[poopoo333]

Werdum -550 Russow +375

[SPX]

I really hope I can get Werdum at -500 or better.

How does Russow win this? This is pretty much a lock, in my opinion.

[poopoo333]

[SPX]

You know Werdum ain't going out like that.

[trotterz]

WOw, I am really expecting to see werdum around -300 or better.
Russow is on a 11 fight win streak, never lost in 5 years.

[MMA_scientist]

Werdum is in an entirely different class IMO. Easy win for Werdum, the UFC is building him as a contender, giving him 2 fat guys in a row.

I totally agree that Werdum is in a different class. But I really don't think that he will come out at anything close to -500.
If he really comes out at -550 or worse like SPX and Poopoo seem to think, I will probably be on Russow.

Werdum should win, but I could see russow lay on werdum (especially since Werdum will be happy to pull guard) and avoid the subs for 3 rounds by not taking too many chances
