UFC 134 RIO: Silva Vs. Okami

I think that this card has three great main events. My favorite fight being the rematch between Shogun and Forrest.

And fore some reason I think that Silva is going to lose this fight to Okami. Okami has fought him before so he is not going to be mysteriuous to him and Okami has been training with Chael Sonnen.

Any one else got a different opinion?

Prelims just got underway on SPIKE.

okami is a wolf spirit, it's no fair.

If Nog gets Schaub on the ground in his guard, i definitley think Nog can pull it off

[QUOTE="KSEfAN420"][QUOTE="Jacen22"] No way Shaub is gonna beat Minotauro, dude has no skill just a killer right hand. Nog is way to experienced to lose to this chump and he can take a punch.

those stars after middleweight should say class... its editing for some reason

i'm hoping Okami will beat Anderson, and i think hes got a good chance after all hes been training with Uncle Chael and The size difference between Okami and Silva is like none so Anderson wont have a size advantage like he does over most opponents.

I think Shogun is actually going to KO griffin the **** out, as much as i love forrest hes facing a Shogun thats not coming striaght off a knee surgery this time and a Shogun whos angry, and Forrest didnt look too good in his fight with Rich so i think Shogun is going to end this soon.

As for Shaub vs Big Nog i truelly hope Nog will win it but the only way he can is if he can take ti tot eh ground and Shaub has big power in his hands but then again if you get hit by any1 in the heavyweight division theres a good chance you'll get KTFO,
Not to mention Nogs granite chin is gone,

I would have liked to see Mirko fight Nog for his final fight at Rio instead of Nelson,

Currently looking around for sites that host UFC 134 Live Streaming links. Any one find any thats gonna show it and is decent quality?

Side note: this card might actually lose some appeal for me because Rogan isn't calling it. Dude knows his stuff and is very comfortable with the mic.dodgerblue13

Hey,

Thanks for the reminder!

I never miss UFC if I check out GameSpot at night!

DAMMMNNN!!!! Schaub got knocked the _____ out!!!

NUNCA SERÃO!

NUNCA SERÃO!

Those last 2 fights were a little off, Griffin looked hella outta shape and got mauled. Okami looked like he wasnt even trying, he just stood there and got jabbed till he fell down, didnt try to shoot or anything, did he not learn anything from Chael....V4LENT1NE

^^ Okami's last fight, despite it being a snoozer showed that if he boxes from the inside he can get a result. He was doing that early on against Silva and was looking better early on.

Better probably isn't the word but I just think if he stayed on the inside and executed more of his boxing he could have done a lot better than 2 rounds.

Awesome fights.

I'm so happy I was wrong about Brendan Schaub vs Big Nog. My heart said Big Nog, my mind said Schaub. Never gonna go against my heart again.

Shogun owned Forrest and Silva was Silva. I think GSP vs Silva would end up as a disaster for GSP.

Silva v GSP will never happen because of gate and PPV numbers alone. The only way one of them could lose and not drop 50% in box appeal would be if it went the distance and both of them looked good. If someone lost badly they would plummet in draw potential and White would have given up 1 of 2 big draws for the sake of one gigantic ( probably record breaking ) event.

Granted it would set up the inevitable rematch series which would never see a 3rd fight unless the result was different the 2nd time.

Well said, I personally think Jones has a better chance of beating Silva than GSP since Jones is more athletic and more well-rounded in my opinion than GSP. Hopefully down the road we can see a fight like that happen since Silva seems like he's invincible in his weight class.flowersjf

That was an awesome PPV last night. That said, I don't see Silva vs. GSP happening anytime soon. And if it did, GSP does not have the striking ability that Silva has. The Spider is a class of his own standing and he would just take his time to figure out how GSP likes to move and precision strike him to a TKO. GSP is great, but Silva's long limbs would be the deciding factor.

Yay Shogun!

seriously, why did okami not try more takedowns? the whole reason i was worried about silva losing was that i figured okami could take him down and not get submitted. i mean, you want to keep him honest with some strikes, but i think everybody would agree that ground and pound is the best chance to beat silva. or even if you dont agree, boxing certainly is certainly not the best chance (especially for okami).LoG-Sacrament

[QUOTE="Chutebox"][QUOTE="BMD004"]GSP is fighting Nick Diaz... the Strikeforce champion who is on a 10 fight win streak. And before this fight, he fought Jake Shields, the Strikeforce MIDDLEWEIGHT champion who vacated his title to come to the UFC, who destroyed Dan Henderson (who just destroyed Fedor), Okami, Condit, etc, and was on a 15 fight win streak not having lost since 2005... but GSP is taking easy fights? Let's take a look at GSP's fights since he won back the championship: Jon Fitch, BJ Penn, Thiago Alves, Dan Hardy, Josh Koscheck, Jake Shields and now Nick Diaz. The only "easy" fight there is Hardy. Anderson fought Patrick Cote in his past 7 fights... so they're even. BMD004

[QUOTE="BMD004"][QUOTE="Chutebox"] He did not destroy Fedor...Chutebox

[QUOTE="Chutebox"]

[QUOTE="BMD004"]Ok... he knocked Fedor out cold in less than a round... but he didn't destroy him. BMD004

Here's one:

Fedor gets hit and is knocked out cold. Hendo hits him twice while he is limp, then Hendo's shots wake Fedor up and he turns over and keeps fighting.

In fact, something similar happened just last night with Forrest Griffin. Griffin was knocked out COLD after one of the hammer fists, then another hammer fist woke him right back up and he kept trying to defend.

It happens quite often. But once you go limp, you are done.
