UFC on Fox 2

[SPX]

I am hoping Sonnen gets down to like -325, but highly doubtful.

Looks to me like the line is going the other way.

I'll probably end up with Sonnen in a parlay.

[Mr. IWS]

Bisping is hard to take down and also big. It is not like Sonnen has never been stiffed before. Jebus, the Sonnen hype is just out of control...

Repent while you can. Chael for IWS Admin!

Don't even hedge, Sonnen is gonna own Bispings ass

Yes!

Truth.

Anybody confident either way with Rashad/Davis? I think Davis can use his length to keep Rashad at bay and avoid getting out boxed badly on the feet. I also think Davis will be able to stuff Rashad and will be able to get a TD if he wants it. imo Davis is the better wrestler of the two

I love Rashad here. This is a big step up for Davis, and I think Rashad will have Davis guessing the entire fight jumping in and out similar to what he did against Rampage, and I also think that Rashad will mix in some takedowns (yeah, I know Davis is a better wrestler), and do enough to win a decision.

“Chael’s biggest weapon is his mouth – but this ain’t no kissing contest and he isn’t going to talk me to death. Unlucky for him he can’t hurt me with his mouth in the Octagon and I am going to crush him. I’m in my prime and this is my time…
[H]is wrestling skills will be on point, I’m going to get the best Chael Sonnen possible, I know that. But his jiu-jitsu wont be too slick. Chael Sonnen can take me down if he likes, because I know I can submit him off my back. I know I can. That’s his big weakness. I may not have a black belt, but I consider myself a black belt. I’ve been rolling with Jake Shields, Dean Lister and a wash of other world champions. Believe me, if Chael Sonnen takes me down he better be prepared to get submitted.
Working with these guys recently, these top level jiu-jitsu guys, has really brought on my game and I am so comfortable on my back right now. In the past I have stood fights up a lot but the way I am training right now, I will be delighted if Chael takes me down. If he does, then it will be a short night for him.”

BOL!!!!!!!!!!!! This coming from the guy that thinks Palhares is going to be champ. The guy has never even beat anyone in the top 20 in his weight class.

......And the Sonnen hype is out of control.....

I like Evans quite a bit here. I bet 1.5u on him, only reason I didn't go bigger is because Davis is a young fighter and still improving.

Tito rushed Rashad and got the TD. Rashad is good but he also has a bit of a hypetrain. That said, he looks like he is now on roids. Maybe he is scared of Bones Jones. Either way, Phil is pretty damn good. He can definetly win this one.

[edman5555]

Ya know I actually wouldn't be completely shocked to see Bisping submit him. Slightly shocked but now completely astonished.

[poopoo333]

Who is the better striker? Maia or Weidman?

[Mr. IWS]

Maybe he is scared of Bones Jones.

I think its the opposite.

[Thewisemann]

Did Tito get a takedown in the 2nd fight?

[Vandelay]

Did Tito get a takedown in the 2nd fight?

yes, albeit it wasnt for very long.

[SPX]

He did, briefly, right at the beginning of the 1st round.

[MMA_scientist]

Not sure if Weidman can duplicate Munoz's performance (in a fight I scored for Maia when I watched it). He isn't aggressive enough that I have seen. So if this ends up being a grappling match, Maia has the edge in overall grappling, just not wrestling, right?

I THINK so... but who knows. Maia's grappling hasn't looked good and Weidman is probably not going to be scared to grapple with him. He is good on the ground too. I think Maia will be ahead, but if Weidman gets on top, he very well may be able to keep Maia there and move around enough to not get stood up. Supposedly he taps Serra out all the time.

I like Davis, but not confident. i am confident enough to bet it @ +odds, but I feel it is a close fight with Davis having more tools and Rashad having more experience and power. Davis has never been in a tough fight yet, he has never been in trouble at all really. But that's what I kept saying about Jones. I am not making that mistake again, and I am betting the bigger badder wrestler.

When did I ever say Palhares would be champ? If I ever said that, it was a joke. Though I don't rule it out, I do think Palhares would mangle Sonnen. I said Munoz would be champ. I still believe.

[SPX]

I THINK so... but who knows.

You're the resident grappling expert, so you need to get your shit together. Otherwise, what good are you?
