UFC 156

Pretty slim chance, I'd think. Rashad is faster, younger, blacker, all-around better. Rogerio looks like his brother, but he's not the same fighter.

[poopoo333]

Yeah Rashad is going to win easy imo. I don't even think Rashad is going to be at a disadvantage on the feet.

[Svino]

Anyone else think little nog has a chance? He has pretty good takedowm defense and hes a pan american games bronze medalist in boxing.

He has a chance, but I think Little Nog is a good example of my "Every fighter with credentials in a striking art has overrated striking in MMA" rule.

[edman5555]

Yeah I know what you mean. He hasn't looked as good because he has been fighting wrestlers. I just worry that he might be finally developing his wrestling game. His last four fights have been wrestlers.

Following the UFC 156 media event on Thursday, the two Heavyweights squared off for a photo op. The face-off got intense when each fighter got in close on the other. Then, according to UFC president Dana White, there was an exchange that the cameras didn't pick up:
Silva: You better start respecting me.
Overeem: I'm going to f***ing destroy you.

....

And not one of those wrestlers is as good at takedowns, gnp, or striking as Rashad... and all but Tito still beat him. So why is Nog going to win this time?

[edman5555]

Well he was doing ok against phil davis and he tkod tito. He could be getting progressively better as he fights wrestler after wrestler. If he can put together a good performance he could pull it out. I favor rashad but I think little nog is underrated.

[poopoo333]

It's not like Little Nog has had lots of time to train during his layoff...pretty sure he kept getting hurt.

[MMA_scientist]

I just don't see how losing to a lesser wrestler is going to prepare you to beat a better wrestler. Rashad took Phil Davis down pretty easy (much to my surprise and chagrin).

[edman5555]

Poopoo. You made a comment in the bets thread saying you ha e a gut feeling silva wins. Can you explain why?

[MMA_scientist]

what's everyone's thought on the Dunham-Tibau fight? is Dunham's tdd good enough to stop Tibau's td?
and does anyone have the "page not found" problem when you click on any threads on there forum?

I assume you mean sherdog. They changed the address on the forums... so just google sherdog and click to the forums to get the right doaddy. If you are clicking on a favorites or history, you are pulling up the old addy.

Reem by decision is +600. That seem a little high to anyone else?

[edman5555]

I noticed the reem decision. Id bet it if i didnt expect him to ko bigfoot.

I am feeling more confident in maia. He has fought very close fights with wiedman and munoz. Two much bigger wrestlers.

[mike]

reem is a few level about bigfoot but reem did not look good at the weight in imo. he looked soft. i'll look to livebet bigfoot if he makes it thru the 1st and 1/2 round. i am going to tail u guys on Maia. hope his cardio holds up for 2 good rounds. Edman, have u looked at the chico camus fight at all? Kimura looked way bigger at the weigh in but he was also 4lb over. imo he did not look good. chico looked good in his last fight. showed some quickness in his hands and good fight IQ. i think he'll edge the stand up even tho hes much shorter and he can mix tds and get it to the ground. looks like he has good top control. he trains with Pettis, btw.
