UFC 82 tomorrow!!!!!!! Anderson Silva (Brasil) 20 - 4 - 0 vs Dan Henderon (USA) 22 - 6 - 0. Two insanlely talented fighters. This will be a tough one. If Silva gets past Hendo. Forget about it.......!

MMA is not going anywhere, quite the contrary. Will be funny to see all those who bash end up tuning in....

"CBS to Air MMA Live in Primetime"

"The CBS Television Network and ProElite Inc. announced a multi-year deal on Thursday that would make Elite Xtreme Combat, the mixed martial arts promotional arm of ProElite, available in primetime on major network television."

I'll be pulling for the american. Once Henderson takes him to the ground, its all over.

It's cool the way it works out. A friend of mine is really big into MMA as well and as of late, most fights have had a USA vs Brasil match, usually at top as well. Fun, although, country pride + bets + alcohol tends to not have that great of an outcome. Regardless, it will be great. I feel this will be Silva's toughest fight. Watching at the pub @ $10 FTW....

Are you guys going to go see Never Back Down? :rofl:

[Farbin Kaiber]

So, just to clarify, none of these guys cro-cop, do they?

[1987E30project]

I think Silva is going to take it. He's got excellent stand up skills and he's also great on the ground. The key for Henderson to win is to outbox Silva. I think that is his only advantage.

no.... Hendo will have to take Silva out of his game. That will be the only way he has a chance.

if you're a man, you bust out the cro-cop fucking regardless.

Hahaha, nope.

Funny part is, Cro-cop just left the UFC after getting his ass handed to him in two fights.

Even though that guy is rocking my last name, without the cro-cop what eles is there? Might as well get excited about the Champ/IRL merger.

I can't get in to the newer stuff, I used to be a big UFC/Pancrase/Rings fan back in the mid 90's, now it's all the same fighting styles, and frankly boring.

die hard mma fan here.

hendo by vicious dynamite of a right hand.

just kidding, he wont knock spider out, but im call hendo by UD.

spider has finished evreyone of his fights in the ufc, with relative ease, i dont believe he can or will finish hendo. i dont see silva taking a decision because hendo's way to smart to keep it standing if he's loosing on his feet, and as good as silva is on the ground, hendo is more controlling.

He'll have to damn near knock Silva out if he's to win by UD. If anyone does get knocked out though, you would think it would be Silva. But with Hendo coming down to 185, he's losing power and stepping into Silva's world. Although, if anyone can go up or down, it's Hendo.

LOL at how Silva stands there and walks off while removing his mouthpiece. Business as usual I guess... We in ya cages, taking ya beltz...

Hendo does not lose any power at 185, his optimal fighting wieght is 183, PRIDE welterweight, he walks at around 195. A 10 pound cut will not affect him in the least bit. And his chin of granite will ensure he stays conscience for the whole fight.

HAHA, watch hendo get dropped and me totally have to eat my words

seriously though, they're both monsters, should be the fight of the year. this, and if couture-fedor happens, should be epic

[joshh]

It'll be a great fight.
