Magnum Milano Posted February 3, 2011 Posted February 3, 2011 I'll just add my predictions (did these originally back on 12th January on another board I occasionally frequent Predictions).  * Anderson Silva TKO Round 2 * Rich Franklin Decision * Jake Ellenberger Decision * Ryan Bader Decision * Miguel Angel Torres Sub Round 2 * Chad Mendes Decision * Demetrious Johnson Decision  I have felt for a while it will be a bad night for the two Japanese fighters. Mendes will bore a decision over Omigawa, and I feel Johnson will outwork KID for all three rounds. Against the grain I feel Bader will decision, and the Kelly/Cerrone wasn't mentioned in the prediction thread I took part in. Pretty big fight for both Cerrone and the Lightweight guys who moved over from the WEC. Kelly is probably not even Top 15 in the UFC Lightweight rankings, whilst Cerrone was always top of the pile in WEC (along with Varner and Henderson). Should give us a bit of an indicator where the WEC guys fit into things. I fancy Cerrone to take this, but it will be tough and a good little scrap that should see both of them stand and bang.
Paid Members Egg Shen Posted February 3, 2011 Paid Members Posted February 3, 2011 Bones Jones seemed a little too confident, as well. Not that I think Bader's going to beat him, it just felt like Jones was setting himself up for a fall the way he was talking as if victory was a certainty. There's no doubt he's amazing, but he seems to be developing a cocky attitude to go with it. Both the Jones/Bader and Silva/Belfort stare downs at the press conference were ace. Seriously stoked for this card.  ive been feeling a little bit of over-confidence coming from Jones' recently, i dunno whether its to do with the mental stuff that Greg Jackson pumps into him, or hes believing his own hype but he definately seems to be changing...not for the worse though.  Guess we'll have to see if he can back it up
Paid Members wandshogun09 Posted February 3, 2011 Paid Members Posted February 3, 2011 I'm going with  Anderson Silva KO/TKO R3 Rich Franklin Decision Jake Ellenberger Decision Jon Jones KO/TKO R1 Miguel Torres Submission R3  Donald Cerrone Submission R2 Chad Mendes Decision Demetrious Johnson Decision  Fuckin chuffed about the KID/Johnson fight being streamed too
METAL ON METAL Posted February 3, 2011 Posted February 3, 2011 According to Dana, KID's manager send him an email the other day which pretty much said: "To say you the time on Sunday morning, I think you should put KID Yamamoto's name on the KO of the Night & Fight of the Night bonuses right now" Â Clear sign of what KID is planning to do! Â Johnson will be a tough test for him though.
hbk4life Posted February 3, 2011 Posted February 3, 2011 My predictions for this one are:  Anderson Silva KO R1 Rich Franklin Decision Jake Ellenberger Decision Jon Jones TKO R1 Miguel Torres Submission R2 Donald Cerrone Submission R2 Chad Mendes Decision Demetrious Johnson Decision  I can't wait
The Cum Doctor Posted February 3, 2011 Posted February 3, 2011 My picks have been  Belfort by first round KO/TKO Franklin by decision Jones by first round KO/TKO Torres by decision Ellenberger by third round KO/TKO Johnson by third round submission Mendes by decision Cerrone by decision
METAL ON METAL Posted February 3, 2011 Posted February 3, 2011 This is pretty cool from the open workouts today, Anderson sparring with his 12 year old son Kalyl: Â Â Â The next Spider, perhaps?

Paid Members Bus Surfer Posted February 4, 2011 Paid Members Posted February 4, 2011 Forrest Griffin Talks to Ariel Helwani at the 126 Press Conference   Cool little 5 min video.  I love how he says that he wouldn't even rank himself. I doubt you'd get too many guys saying that. Also glad that he thinks Skins is shit too.
KingOfMetal Posted February 4, 2011 Posted February 4, 2011 PaddyPower are offering a tasy 3/2 'Double Chance' for Silva to win the fight by either submission or on points
Paid Members BigJag Posted February 5, 2011 Paid Members Posted February 5, 2011 The Silva Belfort stare down was interesting.
Paid Members Egg Shen Posted February 5, 2011 Paid Members Posted February 5, 2011 fuck, that staredown was intense. Never seen Anderson Silva that pumped up. Â The Jones/Bader staredown was a good one too. Â I can't fucking wait!!!!
David Posted February 5, 2011 Author Posted February 5, 2011 As much as I'd really like to see a Belfort win, I can't see past Anderson for this fight.
