Maia "should" beat Shields but who knows? Kim "should" be able to grapple fuck Silva, but again , who knows? I do know Thiago Silva is going to hit Hamill so hard even he'll be able to hear it.
Kim should be able to grapplefuck Silva for sure. But Kim isn't as aggressive with ground and pound like Fitch is so I'm not sure if he will be able to tire Silva out enough to make him ineffective like Fitch was able to do. He may give Silva too much time in order to let him capitalize on a mistake.
That being said, I'll be on Kim.
Beltran vs Maldonado is going to be fucking sexy. Very fucking sexy.
I like beltran in that one. Maldanado doesnt really have one punch knockout power. His game is wearing guys out. Beltran is hard to wear out. I also think maldanados wrestling is not the greatest. I think beltran can take him down. I am just not sure that he will.Originally Posted by poopoo333

Thiago should beat hamill, i think assuncao and hacran dias should win their fights. Maia vs shields is interesting. Edge maia.

The reason i think dillashaw loses is because he will have trouble taking down assuncao and while dillishaws striking has taken out a lot of people i think assuncao is more crafty on the feet.

Mike Pierce vs Rousimar Palhares added
Wait, wut? Since when does that retard fight at 170?
I dunno. Maybe he lost some weight after getting suspended for PEDs.
did he? I didn't hear that. Not at all surprising, but I never heard it.

Whatcha think about Maia/Shields scientist?Palhares, who suffered a first-round knockout loss to Hector Lombard, was flagged for an elevated testosterone level.
I think the UFC has some balls making this a 5 round main event. Probably going to see some sloppy kickboxing. Neither of them has a great gas tank and neither is likely to finish the fight IMO. Maia's gas held up well against Fitch though, so he may gas at 170. They are both good grapplers, Maia is better, but Shields is good enough to not get subbed. Maia should win by being a bit better in all areas. Either could take the other down IMO, but Maia is definitely better from bottom, Shields is pretty average on bottom. I think the striking is a wash, slight edge to Maia. So... Maia.

I think maia will win that. Only way jake wins is by a close decision.

Maia will probably be at least a 2:1 favorite

I am sure he will be a favorite. Shields could edge him in the fourth and fifth rounds by out cardio-ing him.

Historically Shields has pretty shitty cardio at WW.

That is true. I figure he will aclimate.

Shields may be worth a bet at the current odds. Can Kim Fitch Silva?
The answer revealed: no he cannot
