The Shape Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 Seeing as I'm awake I'm going to have to watch this. Just had a tenner on a double of both Hendo and Wand by TKO/KO, hoping it'll make me 100 pound richer <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/redface.png.900245280682ef18c5d82399a93c5827.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daffanka Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 If you haven't seen Hendo/Shogun and Alvarez/Chandler from Bellator then close this thread and do so immediately. What a completely crazy night of great fights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoNdOn Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 I think that Hendo/Rua fight may have just become my favourite fight to date. Also pleased that all my predictions for the UFC card were correct. Shame I didn't put a few quid on it really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fantabulous Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 Rua/Henderson is a fight they'll be talking about for a long time. Dana has apparently said Henderson can get a shot at the Middleweight <em>or</em> Light Heavyweight titles, whichever he wants. Henderson and Rua showed a lot of heart in the fight but I'm not seeing either of them beating Jon Jones. They'll give him some trouble but I think Jones beats both of them. I can see them putting Rua with Bonnar because it's a fight he would probably win and Bonnar has enough of a name that the fight would have some decent selling power and Rua winning would mean something.

The Shape Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 <p>Let's be honest Chael is getting the next shot at Anderson and deserves it a lot more based on their first fights and him actually being in the weight class.</p><p> </p><p> Plus Hendo is going to have to wait behind Rashad to fight Jones. It would hold a certain degree of interest as we've never seen Jones really take a punch and it'd be hard to get Henderson out of there, but if they do fight I think Jones will frustrate, exhaust and then submit him. The size difference would be something to behold as well.</p> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brashleyholland Posted November 25, 2011 Author Share Posted November 25, 2011 Anyone know if Fox main events will be five rounds as well? Yep, all main events will be 5x5's. Speaking of which, I'm really looking forward to seeing Bisping vs Miller hit the championship rounds. *IF* it lasts that long, Bisping will tear him to bits.

Pretty clear there. But honestly, it's not the outcome I see happening. I see a rather disappointing decision for either fighter. Who? Not sure. Both have a tendency to fight stupid when they let their emotions get to them. One has a better stand-up (Bisping), while the other is better on the ground (Miller). Neither of their wrestling is all that great.</p> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's pretty obvious that the UFC are trying to manufacture a title shot for him & whilst i wouldn't be against him fighting for the title, i'd like to see him actually beat someone inside the top 5/8 before he gets his title shot. Wouldn't be surprised if he got that rematch with Wanderlei next though</p> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fantabulous Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 If this was a three round fight, I'd say Bisping by Unanimous Decision. In a five round fight, though, I think Miller has a real chance at winning if he can force the fight into those later rounds and get Bisping to push himself into uncharted waters. I know Bisping is probably going to win but I'll be cheering on Miller to make that douchebag tap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daffanka Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 <p>Honestly I think it's going to be really boring. Bisping is a point fighter in every sense of the word and unless he's cheating or fighting someone who lets him drop hammers from top position he won't finish anyone. He's also really good at reclaiming guard and getting to his feet. </p><p> </p><p> Mayhem's virtually impossible to finish unless you can soccer kick him and he's definitely the superior grappler, but I'm not sure he can get Bisping down reliably enough to take rounds decisively and if he gets him down he might get stuck in guard - he's not the kind of guard slicer Kawajiri or Hioki is.</p><p> </p><p> I don't watch TUF but I imagine both guys are looking real dumb and this isn't a fight I care about, either guy would get torn up by anyone who's anyone in that division.</p> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it goes the later rounds, it's Bisping that has the advantage, not Miller. Bisping has good cardio-Miller has decent cardio, but he's lost most of his big fights, and he hasn't fought in a long time. And this is coming from a guy that doesn't think Bisping is all that good, and a guy that likes Miller as a person more.</p> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tag01 Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 <p>I think bisping vs. Miller will be a drawn out kickboxing match. I don't see Miller getting it to the ground and I think Bisping will be just quick enough to land first most of the time. Hoping I'm wrong.</p><p> </p><p> Did anyone else notice there's only two fights booked for the tuf finale? Assuming its at least a 10 fight card you're looking at 8 more fights, almost surely coming from guys in the house. That works out to everyone in the house getting a shot at the finale! They're really going to bulkup those divisions.</p> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're really going to bulkup those divisions. Yeah i think thats the way it's going to go this time, Roland Delorme (who was eliminated by Dillashaw in the first round) was on Mauro Ranallo's podcast earlier this week & he pretty much confirmed that he would be fighting at the finale.
