Amazing new and fresh MMA thread.

Walls loves Faber or something like that.

MMA needs more roundhouses.

I think a lot of people want someone to knock Silva of his throne, and those people think Weidman is the man to do it. Hype for Silva's opponents nearly always happens before his fights

Yeah but Weidman is getting more hype going into this fight than Chael did going into the second fight, which is ridiculous. Chael at least proved he could take it to Silva and just got caught, on top of tapping Stann and beating Bisping. Weidman hasn't even done anything close to that. He beat an out of shape and completely fucked up Munoz, that's about it.

watched the countdown and all the interviews, stoked for the whole main card now, feels like ages since the last ppv.

Im pretty much fine with any outcome of the ME, whether a real battle or a surprise new champ but my favorite thing in all of MMA is watching Silva straight up clown a guy, not that I see that happening here but theres always the chance.

I'm not that hyped for 162. Something about the build has really soured me on Silva/Weidman. 24 hours away and I simply don't care. I think it's got a lot to do with the way the UFC have built this fight. Releasing highlight reel after highlight reel of fighters all picking Weidman. It doesn't feel accurate or honest.

I'm not saying that Weidman can't beat Silva. I think he poses a real threat (although I don't see him winning (Silva 3rd TKO)), it's just that this thing has come across as very staged. For example, MMAFighting ran a fighter poll and out of 17 fighters only 1 picked Weidman (http://www.mmafighting.com/2013/7/5/4493884/pros-predict-ufc-162-anderson-silva-vs-chris-weidman) and it was Phil Baroni.

Or maybe I'm just over-analyzing things. Since apparently all of the media feel that Weidman will win as well. :asilva

Having said that, I'll never pass up a chance to watch Silva fight, and once I've got some nachos at hand I'm sure I'll be content. Plus Swanson/Siver.

Pretty much.


Silva will smash Weidman inside of 3 rounds, Edgar will mow down Oliveira, Kennedy will probably win a decision over Gracie and if not probably a 2nd round TKO and I'm confidant Swanson will beat Siver. Only thing I'm not sure of either way is Munoz/Boetsch. My gut is telling me Munoz but my head is telling me Boetsch. Guess we'll see.

Only picks I'm conflicted about are Craig/Leben and Gracie/Kennedy. Leben apparently had a really good training camp and looks to be in a good place, so I think he can pull off the win despite looking terrible in his last couple fights. Tim Kennedy and Roger Gracie are both average strikers so I think they'll neutralize each other there, and if somehow, Roger can get it down to the ground, it's game over for Kennedy. Other then that, pretty easy card to call.

Hoping Weidman pulls off the upset, but not holding my breath because of this motherfucker :asilva
