UFC 136

I don't think either guy has a significant size advantage. I am coming around on Aldo...but I don't think Ken Flo is going to be completely outclassed. I will probably parlay Aldo and Maia.

I'm not even betting Florian and think it maybe his last fight but to just act like Aldo is a lock is silly .

[edman5555]

I wonder what the odds will be for maia- stantiago. Santiago's record isn't too bad by the way. He finishes a lot of fights. 9 knockouts and 12 submissions.

You really think it might be his last fight?

I really don't think he's even close to ready to retire. If he loses here, I think he'll go back to 155 and seek out "interesting fights."

I don't think he is a lock either. I do think Kenny is the underdog though. As for Sonnen-Stann, I am hesitant to bet on that one because Stann has so much power. His first 6 straight wins were by tko. His last two are by tko and one of them was Leben. Whether or not Leben was sick( he probably was) it is still impressive. That said, Sonnen does have a great chin and most of the fight should take place with Stann on his back.

If he gets blown out I do,think he'll take the announcing road ....just guessing though.

Watch Santiago vs Misaki I and II. His T3D sucks worse than Steve Cantwell's. I would put a small bet on Maia by (T)KO @+1000 or whatever it may be, Santiago's chin is made out of already broken glass.

Who is acting like Aldo is a lock. I am not even going to bet him straight.

Thats like us saying you are acting like Kenny is a lock.

i could seriously see Maia stopping him with strikes.

[Vandelay]

Aldo will definitely be the stronger guy. His defense standing is phenominal as well. Routinely slipped hominicks jabs, hooks, straights, etc. and countered well. I think there will be a huge speed difference between the two as well. So Florian will be at a speed disadvantage which is critical, and probably wont be able to take this to the ground. Does any1 here think Florian has better striking than hominick?

[edman5555]

That is a good question. I don't have the answer. I would think Hominick should be the better striker. I know I said otherwise before but I think I was just using some wishful thinking. Hominick is a kickboxing champion. I stand corrected, it actually says ISKA canadian championSHIP on his wiki page. Maybe he isn't a champion. Either way, he was getting his legs kicked to shit by Aldo.

[Ludo]

Aldo has plenty of decent scalps. But I defer to you on who is good or bad.

As for Kenny being bigger...LOL! I guess because he came from LW you just autopilot that he is the bigger guy. I have little doubt that Aldo will be the heavier dude come fight night.

Actually I think the fact that he came from Middleweight on TUF and Welterweight after that before making his lightweight debut is why someone might "Autopilot" that he is the bigger guy(which he very much is). When it was announced the Featherweight division was coming to the UFC he tweeted saying he couldn't cut that much weight. It wasn't until getting dominated by Gray Maynard that he decided to actually try, and thus holocaust Florian was shown to the world.

[MMA_scientist]

Damn, I forgot Maia was on this card too. There is some money to be made here... just got to figure out the right combination.

Maia-Guillard
Maia-Sonnen-Guillard
Maia-Sonnen-Guillard-Aldo

I am leaning Maia-Guillard for my big play. Maybe something small on the other fights.

Watch Santiago vs Misaki I and II. His T3D sucks worse than Steve Cantwell's. I would put a small bet on Maia by (T)KO @+1000 or whatever it may be, Santiago's chin is made out of already broken glass.

LOL on multiple levels.

Did he look "big" compared to Nunes? Not really. He looked sick.

I mean, WW Kenny is not as big as MW Kenny. Just like FW Kenny is not as big as LW Kenny. To get down to FW, he not only had to flush a bunch of water out of his system, but he also had to lose mass. If Aldo is not bigger, then I expect them to be about the same size.

BTW, Kenny already looked like Holocaust Florian at LW. Now he looks like some shit out of Lord of the Rings.
