Corrie Sanders is one of the biggest punchers in the heavyweight division so I see no shame in that loss. Purity and Brewster were a result of fatigue more than anything else. Look at Sam Peter getting knocked down several times by Jameel McCline and he certainly isn't known for his punching...

Aussie, Agreed. Forrest Griffin looked as good in his last fight as anyone in the 205 division. I think Stephan Bonner will also make waves in the division since his joining of team Couture.

Bisping was railroaded on that decision. I thought it was pretty even on the feet with Bisping stuffing most of the takedowns and giving Evans some hard nasty knee's to the midsection. When Evans finally got Bisping to the ground he couldn't inflict any damage and Bisping would pop right back to...

I'm also looking forward to Joe Doerkson vs Ed Herman. Herman seems like a complete A$$hole (actually a friend of mine confirmed it)and I hope Doerkson works him over like a hooker on nickel night.

I agree. Both of Alexanders wins have come after an early barrage of punches against his opponent. Thiago Silvas ground work looks to be very solid and his standup looks good also. I think Silva weather's the initial storm by Alexander and then takes him into deep water cardio-wise. I doubt if...

EliteX has spent quite a bit of money bringing this internet thug to the TV audience and they don't want him falling face first to the canvas on his MMA debut.

TJR "I won't give you a hard time for using the word negro b/c it is in a latin context, so it is acceptable! It actually sounds educated, not racist, in that context." Thank you kind sir! The last thing I want is to cause any problems for this forum. It's like a breath of fresh air to me

I guess we will find out the minute someone catches him with a good overhand right or takes him into the fifth round of a grueling back and forth war. Match him up with a Gonzaga or Coleman and let's see how he fare's.

Kukulcan, I disagree. During the first few rounds Kellerman was leaning toward Kessler until Manny Steward started to disagree with him. Steward, in my opinion, is a much better analyst. Kellerman has also been very critical of the Klitschko's in the past and has never spoken very highly of a...

Joe was impressive. He took some thunderous uppercuts from Kessler and continued to press the action. Kessler has a bright future in the division and a fight with Taylor or Pavlik would rake in millions for him. These are the good old days gentlemen.

I really have mixed feelings about who I want to win so I hope it turns out to be a fight of the year candidate with a split decision result.

Lesnar has the size but I'll reserve judgement until I see him fight a couple of times. His first fight in Elite extreme didn't last long enough to showcase any skill.

I think Lutter put the spotlight on Silva's weakness. If Franklin holds his ground on the initial exchanges long enough to convince Silva he will strike with him then Franklin can rip Silva's legs out from under him and start a good ground and pound game from Silvas half guard. Franklin needs to...

OK gentlemen, Time to make your picks on UFC 77. Here are mine. Franklin vs Silva-This going to be a hard fight for Rich but I think he can pull it off. I would bet that Franklin has just about wore out the video of Lutter vs Silva and has made plans to take the fight to the ground and try...

I wonder how that contract language would fare if the bout took place in Russia? I have a feeling Couture may come to regret leaving the UFC.

I think Bisping will have a much easier time with Rashad Evans than he did with Hamil. I pick Bisping in this one.

It's rumored now that billionaire Mark Cuban is the finance muscle behind M1 and he may have had something to do with Couture leaving the UFC. The UFC needs some competition and it will bring the fighter's more money.

The Forest Griffin I watched fight Shogun the other night would give Rampage big trouble.

Pavlik showed a lot of heart tonight. I think he got caught mugging at Taylor when he was clipped and knocked down in the second round. But he got back up, weathered the storm and continued walking Taylor down and eventually knocked him out. One of the best middleweight fights I've watched in a...

I'm more than happy to eat crow on my Martin over Leben pick! Great fight

I agree W/S. I have never been a big fan of Jardine ( I find him too mechanical in his movement ) but he has power, so he's certainly a threat. Liddell by KO within 2 rounds. I'll also go with Fitch over Diego in a decision win. Fitch is a big strong wrestler, with good overall skills, who...

Hatton definitely has the style to give Mayweather trouble but I would much rather see him fight at the 140 weight class.

Good thread with great advise! I might add that knowing the basics of wrestling, BJJ, Sambo and Judo, since there are a lot of similar technique across all four, would be a good starting point. All four arts involve some form of take-down which can immediately end a fight if performed correctly...

I'll definitely go with Florian over Thomas. Florian has an excellent ground game and his stand-up skills look better every time out. Florian by second round TKO (Elbows to the negro's melon). Leben, on the other hand, looks plodding with a face first lead style. I'll go with Martin but...
