He's had his ups and downs. His downs came after his sister went missing and messed up his life. (no she hasn't been found) He is back now, re-invigorated in his beliefs and with no fear. Look for him to take Silva out in the first round. Knock-out. He's an awesome athlete and the most explosive puncher in the UFC. And he's focused. Watch out!

Well most explosive puncher in the UFC is debatable but the man is bad ass. As for the fight.....going with Silva.

After what he has done to Franklin and Wanderlei, he's got a shot. If it goes to the ground, he's fooked. Silva thinks he is the re-incarnation of a young Roy Jones though. He made Forrest Griffin look like Forrest Gump in that match. If he stands he loses. Griffin is no Belfort. Should be interesting

Don't get me wrong slith this is the baddest fucker silva has faced in my opinion and the timing favors Vitor as well. But you know better slith. If you and I pick vitor to win then silva will knock him out. Its our luck.

That whole fight card is one of the best I've seen in a long time. Finally a UFC event worth $50 plus dollars. Anderson has a grudge against Vitor because Vitor trained at Andersons gym then went and asked Dana for a shot at Anderson's title. Which is a big no no in MMA. Vitor hasn't denied it but there could be more to the story than just Anderson's side. Vitor isn't really the sneaky type. So could just be Anderson grasping at something to get him pumped for the fight.
Slith who you think has the fight between Forrest and Rich? I can't pick. They are even on so many levels.

My gut feeling says Franklin. Southpaw, heavy hands and he's a big light heavy. But Griffin is one of these guys that just when you think he is going to get whupped, pulls out a star performance ( a la Rampage ). Toss up for me. They are mirror images of each other. If I had to pick, which is certain deathwish for said pick, I'd have to go Franklin. The fight I'm really looking forward to is Jon Jones vs Ryan Bader. Jones has one defeat via DQ against Matt Hamill, but was owning him until the illegal elbows (I'm still not sure about that call). Bader is undefeated and one mofo bad ass. This has fight of the night written all over it. Jones is so talented and unorthodox. He has moves that I've never seen before. Antonio Banuelos vs. Miguel Torres is another gem. Agreed, this card is stacked. Well worth the money

Jon Jones is my man too. Little worried about Bader so I'm not gonna curse Jones by making a pick. Damn good points about Rich.

Ok slith I'm gonna man up and make my calls on the top 3 fights. If I don't at least get one right then I'll know the mma universe mocks me.
So.......
Jones
Franklin
Silva
Not even going to tempt fate with whether they are knockout, decision or submission wins.
