wagner Posted October 19, 2009 Report Share Posted October 19, 2009 Lyoto Machida Vs. Mauricio Rua Well time to see if Machida is going to be the real deal. Nobody is going to put him as an underdog anymore and they are trying to figure out his game. Rua is going to have to be perfect and pray Machida is not Machida wins this Cain Velasquez Vs. Ben Rothwell Velasquez looks like he could be a freaking wrecking machine. His last fight showed how green he still is but the potential is there. Rothwell has been around since Jesus built houses so he does have that going for him. Velasquez Gleison Tibau Vs. Josh Neer Tibau can be hit or miss but is nasty on the ground. Neer is coming in on short notice and also is very good on the ground. Short notice can be the kiss of death sometimes but I am going with Neer anyway Neer Joe Stevenson Vs. Spencer Fisher Stevenson is trying to get back in-line to get beat on by Penn so look for him to make a case here. He has looked very good as of late and I think he will put Fisher away. Stevenson wins here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timmy43016 Posted October 19, 2009 Report Share Posted October 19, 2009 I agree with your sound assessments. The Stevenson/Fisher will be good. I like them both...Stevenson is a big boy for his size and can fight, but Fisher is a tough scrapper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pedro1647545510 Posted October 19, 2009 Report Share Posted October 19, 2009 I'm looking forward to the Machida fight. It's hard to believe that the guy has never lost a single round. He's a helluva fighter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a helluva fighter. Yeah the only other person close to that is Anderson Silva. Now Machida said last week after he defends his belt 5 times he wants to fight Brock for the "challenge". If Machida shows up focused Rua is going to be stuffed into the hurt locker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rotarded1647545491 Posted October 19, 2009 Report Share Posted October 19, 2009 I predict that I will not watch this! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Karacho1647545492 Posted October 19, 2009 Report Share Posted October 19, 2009 Machida would get destroyed by Brock. It'd be an interesting fight. Machida's such a well rounded fighter I feel like he'd be able to keep Lesnar less aggressive with his submission ability. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same goes for Machida he would not want to keep this standing up because you miss time one of Brock's lunchbox hands and things will get dicy.

RedRocket1647545505 Posted October 19, 2009 Report Share Posted October 19, 2009 I'd like to see Machida lose just because of that stupid fucking commercial they play for him all the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wagner Posted October 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2009 Hmmm very interesting decision by the judges for Machida. I don't think that Rua really did much other than throw some body/leg kicks and not strike with Machida. Wonder how long before the rematch?

evan9381 Posted October 25, 2009 Report Share Posted October 25, 2009 I (along with every person at b-dubs) thought the call on that Rua/Machida fight was BS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
99ta Posted October 25, 2009 Report Share Posted October 25, 2009 Yeah, I thought Shogun won AT LEAST 3 rounds. if no all five. complete bs, almost as bad a the bisbing dec in england. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rustlestiltskin Posted October 25, 2009 Report Share Posted October 25, 2009 that was one of the most shittiest fights i've ever seen. I like machida but shogun got robbed. That fight had to be fixxed to make sure it lines the pockets of some important ppl in vegas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
