Lets go Anderson silva , first round stoppage by knee.
I got Bonnar by flying heel hook!! Shock the world American Psycho!!
Who cares.. This main event is the biggest joke in UFC history.
Do I get a prize for coming first in last picks? :)
I don't understand why you're saying the main event is a joke? Silva vs Bonnar is not meant to be a competitive title match, it's almost like an exhibition match to entertain the fans after the series of cancelled fights.
And how could it not be entertaining - an accurate striker in Silva fighting Bonnar, who can take insane amounts of punishment!
I think your reaching with this main event is the biggest joke in history I can think of some others right off the top of my head.
Leggo Silva!!!!!
2st! *facepolm* not FIRST! and for days to Silva will win over Boner. Will stuf foot in Boners face ha!
you are lacking lately, get back to the basics... looks to forced now
*too - Has anyone here graduated 3rd grade?
This card looks SICK! Teixeira vs Maldonado!!!
Not gonna happen, Anderson is too skilled. Stephan is a badass but he is a mere brawler in comparison.
Silva 2nd rd tko. Stephan will put up a valiant effort though.
Ive been pumped for every Anderson fight since he fought Lebon and this is no different. Cant wait to see how it goes.
Lebon? Lebon James? LOL
I think it's LeBron James, not Lebon James either.
Glover Teixeira scary dude! It' going to be a fun card to watch!!!
Expect a performance which will resemble both the Okami and then Rich fight, calculation round followed by aggressive Muay Thai.
Doesn't matter how tough, fearless and great chin you own, when your getting picked apart by Silva the only thing you.can do is drop
