The Shape Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 This crowd is terrible. Takes Philly's award for worst crowd They are not going to let Okami lay on Silva that's for sure. Same with Forrest and Shogun. Refs zealous with standups so far...a few of these fights could represent public executions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ampulator Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 I forgot to mention this, but I should. I want Nogueira to win. In the past, he could have rolled past a guy like Brendan Schaub. But he's so injured these days, I don't think he will tonight. But I do want him to win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

damonster Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Wow!!!!! Big Nog is back and the crowd is really crazy, wait until Silva pulls off a highlight reel KO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Shape Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Nogueira is 18/1 to win by TKO/KO. Think I'm gonna go for that xD What did I say! £180 baby! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KingJoel Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Big Nog just gave the finger to all those that thought Schaub would steamroll him in the fight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't think he would steamroll, but rather, that he could. But he proved me another thing-Schaub's chin isn't all that great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Shape Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Well that was inevitable. Apart from the fight I knew nothing about I'm 3/3 so far =D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingJoel Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 I'm 2/2. With my losing picks going to Pearson and Cane. But damn, Shogun made me jump up in celebration! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ampulator Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Well that was inevitable. Apart from the fight I knew nothing about I'm 3/3 so far =D I think it always depends on what Shogun's physical condition is. he's been fighting for a long, long time. If he's in-shape and not injured, Shogun is fine. Edit: Silva wins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he's in-shape and not injured, Shogun is fine. His knees are gone for good, he'll lose if he's against someone who wants it. And Silva - what is there to say. I ****ing love that man! Now THIS was an event to show someone if they'd never watched MMA before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingJoel Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Loved every moment of it. I don't know how he does it, but Silva is very good at psyching out his opponents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need a massive ego to even cope with that side of things, and only one man has one big enough... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingJoel Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Exactly. You need a massive ego to even cope with that side of things, and only one man has one big enough... And that one man so happens to have really weak submission defence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VTial Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Not really. People tend to forget pre-fight, Chael Sonnen wasn't meant to be a threat to Anderson. (Hype-wise, if Chael didn't talk, he had a lower perceived chance than Leites) There may not be many MWs that could/would adopt the Sonnen style of fighting but I can guarantee you that there are "many perceived not ready" candidates (with better sub defense than Sonnen) that Silva wouldn't psych out. Okami is just not one of them. He has always been a better Gleison Tibau that's why it took so long for the rematch and he got it mostly from his improvement after training with Chael and in a manner that didn't really help him against Anderson and it was clear if Okami was going to defeat Anderson, it had to be based on him completely fighting differently from the way he does and he cannot for one minute stay as the same fighter. The fight outcome really hurts Okami. If he's not going to be cut, I think UFC might even encourage him to change weights. Actually I think if GSP/Silva doesn't happen soon, there are many guys that are going to be hopping divisions. Forrest's stock has been completely obliterated and he's one Rampage loss from changing the LHW scene. Losing Nate and now Okami losing means Jake Shields might even be encouraged to move to MW to set up a number one contender fight against Silva depending on how his eventual fight with Fitch happens and if Fitch even stays relevant. Let's not get even started about Schaub. Frankly I haven't seen a UFC event happen like this in quite a while. Not only does it have major long term implications but everyone doesn't seem to be talking about it as much and even the major forums appear to be taking the fight results for granted relative to past UFCs.
