Anderson the spider silva versus yushin thunder okami....I theenk the spida is gunna tame de tunda :yoyo:
With two UFC events already in the books for August, the third is under two weeks away. UFC 134 comes to you from the HSBC Arena in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil on August 27th. The main event is a UFC middleweight title matchup between champion Anderson Silva and challenger Yushin Okami. Okami is the only man that holds a win over Silva in the last 6 and a half years, though it was via disqualification due to an illegal kick from Anderson. The co-main event is also a rematch and pits two former UFC light heavyweight champions against each other. Forrest Griffin will look to pick up a second straight win over Mauricio Rua, who is coming off a devastating loss to Jon Jones that cost him his title. In addition to those two huge bouts, the card also marks the return of legend Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira to the cage after 19 month layoff. He will face rising star Brendan Schaub.
I predict a big win for Silva, and a big loss for Griffin.
I agree sir on Silva...I think Griffin is gunna put one on Rua though.. !...Id like to see the old lion, "Minotauro" Nogueira whup that young Schaub fella !..I hate to see legends fall victim to time.
As much as I hate Anderson I'm pretty sure he's gonna walk with this one. Theoretically he won the last, but we have to go through the protocols. :innocentwhistle:
I'm gonna lean towards Mauricio Rua on that match up. I think he's tougher and much faster then Griffin. Griffin has experience and stamina on his side, but along with it comes age.
Minotauro, Shogun, and The Spider= CLEAN SWEEP !

No surprises there. Forrest Griffin is a nice guy, but should give up fighting.
Anderson Silva just keeps on getting better. Keep a close eye on John "Bones" Jones, because he is the one who may just whip Anderson Silva.
I didnt get to see it, they even aired it again last night but I just had too much going on to watch it.
Who's this guy calling out Rampage? I heard a commercial on the TV behind me as I beat away on the keys doing some editing, someone's coming to get his belt.
Here ya go Jim! Look out Rampage, your days are numbered.

:eyebrow: wow, interesting
We should get everyone to come over to my house and chip in to buy that, so we can all see it. :biggrin:
I'm puting all my money on Jones!
Theres talk floatin around of GSP versus Silva...that would be good I bet.
Literally!...the fight of the century if it does happen :eyebrow:
If GSP is George St. Pierre, Yes that would be worth watching for certain.
Speaking of legends...just watched Captain America, Randy Couture when he whupped Tim Sylvia and Gabriel Gonzaga when he was 44-45 years old...now there was a fighter :bowingsmilie:
