UFC on FX 7 Vitor Belfort vs Michael Bisping

[Thewisemann]

Lol good point .

[MMA_scientist]

Stann can't beat anyone that decides to go for a takedown. His ranking is almost entirely at the whim of Joe Silva.

Bisping is decent, he is better when he comes to wrestle IMO. I think I tend to overrate him too, because I overcorrect for my dislike of him.

Vitor is too old to have a mohawk.

[Thewisemann]

Yea I don't think Stann is top ten at all. His ground game leaves a lot to be desired.

Do you guys think Wandy might come to wrestle Stann? I think in a 5 round fight, Stann's superior athleticism/conditioning will prevail and he will KTFO Wandy :(

I think Wandy is still caught up in this whole, make the fight exciting for the fans, type shit. He is gonna get put to sleep.

Has he ever done this before? I don't recall him coming to grapple, but I haven't been paying attention very much. I also don't think he could get Stann down. I think we will see him do the standard gameplan.

Naw I don't think so. You know, even if Stann doesn't get the KO, I think he comfortably picks Wandy apart.

Wand is coming with usual plan of windmilling hooks until someone falls over. The thing about that plan is that is sometimes works pretty damn well. Stann hasn't been dropped by a shot yet though that I can recall, and Wand is on his last leg... so I have to agree that Stann should win.

And if Rashad beats Nog, give him the title shot.

I really think Belfort is more suited for 205 . I've always had a theory that his cut to 185 is a tough one and thats why he gasses in most of his fights. Anyway, I think Chael would fight anyone and would also beat Belfort easily. I think having Chael "get hurt" and putting Gus in his place then setting up Chael-Belfort would be a lot more profitable for the UFC and would make for two better fights.

[poopoo333]

I think the UFC is going to profit well from Jones/Sonnen because of: 1. Jones being a dominant champ, 2. Sonnen's mouth and ability to sell fights. Gus/Jones won't be a great PPV draw imo compared to Sonnen/Jones. I think they should do this:

Jones vs Sonnen

..when Sonnen loses:

Sonnen vs Belfort


edit: what you said makes more sense with logic/what should happen, but obviously Sonnen/Jones with TUF was set up for the money/ratings.

[MMA_scientist]

Jones/Sonnen will do huge numbers IMO. Sonnen will lose to Jones. Then Vitor will beat him too. That will probably be the end of the Sonnen gravy train. I am actually considering watching TUF this season.

[edman5555]

Sonnen has a shot against Jones. A small one. I think he can beat Vitor.

[MMA_scientist]

I don't think he has any chance against Jones. If Jones comes to wrestle, I don't think Sonnen will survive 1 round. If he comes to strike, he will probably make it rd 2. I think Vitor would beat Sonnen, but it is much more likely that Sonnen could do his hold him down routine there. It has never worked on Vitor very well before though.
