i think it's fair to say this is a pretty week card, but still looking forward to the main event, im going with franklin but i wouldnt put too much money on it. wand is still dangerous but i don't see him out-striking franklin for the entire fight, his best chance of winning is by KO.
franklin has a reach advantage, and a size advantage and i think that will be they key factor in the fight even though franklin hasnt fought in over a year i think he will be more than ready to fight. would be pretty awesome to see wand win in brazil though and i would never count him out of this fight, he has Ko Power and one of the nastiest clinch games in the history of MMA.
werdum and russow looks like a mismatch on paper, and i think werdum should win easily, his stand up looked great against nelson where he delivered some brutal knees in the clinch that would of sent most other people to the canvas unconscious, i just hope he's been working really hard on his takedown defence and general wrestling. if he can keep the fight standing he should be able to stop russow who gassed horribly in his last fight.
russow has good takedowns but i can see the ref standing the fight up as he wont be able to get any ground and pound of on werdum who's jiu jitsu is world class, and russow wont be able to advance past full guard. might take a look at the odds on a fabricio sub tomorow.
on a side not it will be interesting to see what kind of condition russow looks to be in at the weigh ins
out of the tuf brasil card i've only seen the first couple of episodes so i dont have a clue about most of the other fighters on the card
who are your picks

Just because it is in brazil, and the chance that frankin might have ring rust, I am laying franking tko/ko. Not overly confident though.
|
|
By:
i dont see it going the distance, won't it be 5 rounds?!!! tko/ko is the only way i can see franklin winning

pearson messed up a couple of my accumulators last night

|
By:
Good first fight of the prelim! Victory to...the underdog...apparently.
 |
|
By:
they might repeat it on the main card if they have time to spare, otherwise i'll watch em tomorow
franklins odds are drifting somewhat, but i think its just bookmakres money coming in |

|
By:
boxing that is
|
|
By:
franklin looks alot bigger these days
|
|
By:
he doesnt have to cut to 185 that's probably, they fight at a catchweight of 195. he looks in good shape though
|
|
By:
yea, just seems to look naturally big. Hes always been a dogged, determined fighter but not a fav of mine. Would like to see him win toinight tho. Wonder what the odds would be if it wasnt in Brazil?

PEPE lost the round by basically giving him it by gifting his back!
|
|
By:
i'd give that round as a draw tbh
|

By:
goddard fk off!
|
|
By:
that was bazerra's round
|
|
By:
goddard is just looking for something that aint there
|
|
By:
what was goddard warning him about??
|
|
By:
surely bazerra takes it
|
|
By:
1.01??!!! market has gone mad, i'd never take odds like that on a fight like this, look at the paquiao fight and this was closer than that

ferreira looks pretty good so far
