Junie needs to stay away from booze forever. Love how its not his fault on his Facebook status :thumbsup:

 

With Titos next fight being the last on his contract who do we think they'll put him against (Thats assuming he isnt just cut now) I know it'll never happen but I'd love a Frank Shamrock fight (A man can dream cant he!)

 

Forrest Griffin.

 

Yeah its going to happen regardless. Where would Forrest go from there if he does lose though?

Don Frye should stick to commentating :( Can't wait to take him to the title on Undisputed 3 though. He'll be the king in my heavyweight division. Him and Nog.

 

For Tito, it's gotta be Tito vs Forrest 3 if anything surely.

 

The first 2 fights were good fairly close fights and the trilogy could do with wrapping up. Tito's been asking for a rubber match as his last fight since before 140 aswell. Makes sense to me. If Forrest loses he's pretty fucked but if he can't beat Tito at this point then he's never gonna reach the top again anyway. I think at this stage it's a fight Forrest could and should win but I'd actually like to see Tito retire on a win. It's so rare that happens, would be good to see, even though I'm not really a fan.

That could be a good fight or ugly as fuck. Interesting match style wise though. If they grapple Werdum has the edge but on the feet it's fairly even, probably slightly favour Nelson in power and chin.

 

Didn't see that one coming, thought they'd go with Werdum vs Schaub.

Now i assume Werdum should have the advantage on the ground but i am struggling to think of an occasion when anyone has been able to overcome Nelson on top of them

Yeah it's not a good position to be in. Arlovski was under Nelson and got up to KO him but that was a dodgy stand up by the ref. If anyone can trouble Nelson from the bottom position it's Werdum. He's one of the best BJJ artists in MMA currently along with Roger Gracie, Demian Maia and Jacare.

There are rumblings UFC wants to do a massive card in May/June in Brazil.

 

I reckon Belfort vs Silva will be on that, provided Belfort is ok after fighting Johnson. Would make sense to have Anderson vs Sonnen/Munoz, UFC have been looking into secruity for Sonnen if this happens as well. Shogun on the undercard would be nice.

 

If all went to plan and Sonnen and Belfort win and are healthy/ready, and its a big "if" they could sell out a soccer stadium and have the biggest UFC since UFC 100 with that line up.

Could possibly be UFC 150.
